Baja Bliss Connection Yoga Retreat

    

Join Christa Mastrangelo Joyce and fellow travelers for daily yin and yang yoga practices, seated and walking meditation, Ayurvedic self-care, hiking and mindfulness practices–all in this beautiful Pacific Coast location. We’ll connect to the beauty and culture of our surroundings and experience 6 days of swimming in a saltwater pool that overlooks the ocean, walking the beautiful coastline, hiking the mountains, and eating deliciously prepared local cuisine, all while being pampered daily by Christa. Exciting optional adventures, such as kayaking in the Sea of Cortez and horseback riding on the beach, can be added to this enriching adventure. Come, reconnect with nature, the spirit of adventure, and your own inner peace and abundant joy. You deserve these 6 days of bliss!

Every retreat is unique and, as such, the itineraries are ever-changing! We finalize the itineraries about 3-6 weeks before the retreat, but after 10 years of hosting retreats, we do have a general idea of what most schedules look like.

Most retreats include one-to-two daily yoga classes. One class takes place in the morning, either just before or just after breakfast. After the first class and meal, you have free time to explore, relax, or take part in optional add-on activities. Lunch will take place in the afternoon, during this free time. There is then, usually, an afternoon class followed by dinner. Occasionally some teachers choose to offer an evening restorative class or group gathering after dinner as well.

In addition, there is usually one dedicated “excursion day” in which we do not have scheduled yoga classes. This is a day for people to take advantage of some of the more involved tour and excursion offerings and is always a lot of fun!

Again, this is a very general look at what your retreat schedule could be. We work closely with the teachers to design unique itineraries that reflect their style and the group that’s traveling with them. Once your specific retreat itinerary is complete, we will send it out via email, usually two or more weeks before the retreat starts. Please keep in mind all retreat itineraries are subject to change.

She works to create classes that allow people to feel at home in their body, while providing space for them to become stronger, healthier, more attuned to life, and more connected to their self and to the world around them. Christa loves to share the gifts that yoga has offered her and to help each person find their own path to this joyful practice. She hopes that each person who leaves her class finds strength, nourishment, and balance, as well as the wonder of life within and around them.
