Bari and I are now putting together the itinerary for our extended working yoga vacation in Mexico. We will visit approximately 30 retreat centers, resorts, hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, ashrams, and jungle camps over two months or so.
It’s looking like we will cross the border into Baja California and spend a couple of days driving down to La Paz and the Cabo area, where we have two places to review. From Baja we’ll take the ferry to Mazatlan, then drive south to Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit for a few nights.
Further down the Pacific coast, we have several nights on the Costa Alegre of Jalisco. From there we’ll head inland to San Miguel de Allende, Patzcuaro, and Cuernavaca. Then back to the Pacific coast for yoga from the Ixtapa area down to Acapulco and the Oaxacan beach towns of Mazunte and Zipolite.
Once we’re finished in Oaxaca, we’ll head to San Cristobal de las Casas for a few days, pass through Palenque, and then up to Merida in the Yucatan peninsula (hopefully we’ll be there for the weekly Thursday night dance party when they close the streets).
From Merida we’re off to Izamal for a night or so, then to the Caribbean. First we have several nights on Isla Holbox, then we’ll stay in Cancun a few nights before heading to Akumal and Tulum.
From Tulum we have a decision to make — head home before Christmas or continue our yoga retreat tour from Belize to Panama.
On the way home we’ll stop at a retreat center in the cloud forest of Veracruz. We’re excited about our journey. Thanks to all who are sponsoring our trip!
