Open to all levels of yoga practitioners

Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of nature, the warm sun, and a day filled with transformational yoga practices, delicious garden-to-table meals, and breathtaking landscapes.


Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing with me for years, my intention is to lead you through yoga sessions that are both inspiring and motivating.


This opportunity is your sanctuary for growth, healing energy and relaxation. Reserve your spot today and move toward an experience of serene peace and yoga practice.


Rejuvenate, Restore and Recharge

In a world where we often feel stressed, overwhelmed and disconnected, I invite you to eliminate life's distractions and connect deeper to your yoga practice. 


It can be easy to lose touch with our inner calm and well-being. Constant stress, overwhelming responsibilities, and the pressure to stay connected can leave us feeling depleted and disconnected from ourselves. 


Give yourself the gift of slowing down by practicing yoga and taking care of yourself in one of the most beautiful places you can imagine! Surround yourself with nature and harness the one-of-a-kind energy that Xinalani has to offer.

Your Retreat Facilitator:

Melany James

I love to teach and to share my love of yoga and meditation with my students. The emphasis in my classes is to teach students an awareness of their breath, and how their breath is connected to their foundation, movement and their core. Making a connection between the mind, movement and breath will not only change your practice on the mat, it can change your life in so many positive ways!


In my classes, experienced practitioners will find a challenging and supportive environment, while newcomers will discover a space where modifications and alternatives are always offered. I invite everyone to join me from “wherever they are” to experience the transformative power of yoga and meditation.

FAQS

Read below for answers to your most common questions.


  • What is NOT included in the price?

    1. Flights to and from Mexico (Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR).
    2. Transport to and from the retreat center on a different day than November 29 and/or December 6, 2025, or to a location other than the PVR airport.
    3. Tips and gratuities.
    4. Excursions.
    5. Any meals outside the retreat centre.

  • What happens if I need to cancel?

    The cancellation policy is based on the policies of the retreat center:


    *The deposit is non-refundable.


    Payment Schedule:

    1. September 1st, 2025: The remaining balance payment is due.

    Cancellation Policy:

    1. Ninety (90) days or more before the start of the retreat: full refund minus the deposit.
    2. Within 90 days of the start of the retreat: no refund.
  • Should I get travel insurance?

    It is highly recommended that you get travel insurance in case you need to cancel your trip. 


    We have no choice but to follow the retreat center's cancellation policy; therefore, it is best to have insurance in case you need to cancel. 

  • I would like shared accommodation, but I will be travelling alone. How does that work?

    I will do my best to match you with someone travelling alone who wishes to share accommodations. 


    However, if that is not possible, you may need to be in a single-occupancy room, which would change the rate of your accommodations.  


    Please add a note in the comments section of the web form, and I'll do my best to match you with another attendee.  

  • Is the yoga retreat the right level for me?

    Contrary to popular belief, Ashtanga-inspired Flow Yoga is for all levels! Let me show you how, even if you have never practiced this style of yoga before - it will be an enriching experience for you, I have no doubt.


    Contact me to see how we can get you started before the retreat!
