Join Carolyn Anne Budgell for a holistic and nourishing 5 night retreat at La Joya Boutique Hotel and Retreat Centre, at the edge of the warm Pacific ocean, near Sayulita, Mexico. Imagine a getaway filled with sunshine, saltwater, grounding breathwork, therapeutic movement, evening meditations and reflective workshops to help you become more aligned with the life you want to live.
This isn’t your ordinary yoga retreat - although there will be a focus on becoming more embodied through slow flows and breath, the retreat’s programming also includes workshops for you to get clearer on boundaries, authenticity and new intentions. On a secluded beach, yet within walking distance from the bustling surf town of Sayulita. Our time will be fully devoted to helping you feel more anchored and more like you. Give yourself a reset both inside and out, and remember who you’re here to be.
Retreat Programming
Spa Yoga - Think mellow, slow flows, nervous system reset, long hip openers and less effort. Carolyn developed this form of yoga over 10 years after witnessing repeated injuries and chronic stress in clients. A Spa Yoga class is built upon the pillars of slowness, permission to adapt poses, heartfelt themes and lots of deep breathing.
Meditation + Mindfulness - Meditation can help us better understand the correct tools and questions for navigating challenges. Meditation is not an escape from life; it is a means to discover more ease and flow as we travel along our path. Through seated and reclined meditation techniques, Carolyn offers simple and powerful ways to become more present.
Breathwork - Breathwork is an effective tool for transformation, release and optimal wellness. Carolyn shares a multitude of soothing and energizing techniques with openness and many options for each individual.
Curated Workshops - We’ll create room to pause and reconnect with yourself in a way that’s nourishing, steady, and real. These sessions will allow you to explore what it means to show up for yourself, to tune into your intuition, and to find a sense of ease in your everyday life.
Spa Circuit - Red cedar sauna, steam room and cold plunge tub with jaw dropping views. Repeat.
