A Couples Retreat at Villa Ananda, near Punta Mita in Mexico
This Valentine's, skip the one dinner where you both check your phones. Take the whole week instead.
A week where you get to remember why you chose each other.
Seven days of yoga, nourishing food, and bodywork, plus free time to paddle with the whales, surf, fish, or just enjoy the Pacific. Nothing else asking for your attention. Come as you are. Come ready to exhale.
7 days · 6 nights · all meals, daily yoga, and a healing massage for each of you
Think about who you two are when nothing needs handling.
No inbox. No pickup line. Nobody asking what's for dinner. For seven days someone else cooks and someone else plans, and the day just doesn't need anything from you.
That's when the other version of you shows up. The one who lingers over coffee. Who enjoys a conversation without a phone to interrupt. Who takes a leisurely walk along the beach, hand in hand.
You don't need to fix anything to feel close again. You just need space to breathe.
This is the space.
“Our inner life creates our outer life. Our greatest power comes from stillness.”
— Kia Miller
So I asked my husband
I asked my husband what it would take to get him to come on a yoga retreat with me.
He answered in about two seconds. Surfing, good food, and sex.
So classic. And, to be fair, not wrong.
I designed this week for the partner who'd never pick a yoga retreat on their own, and ends up glad they came.
Villa Ananda has surfing right off the front patio, plus paddleboarding, fishing, whale watching, and golf nearby. There's yoga, yes, and healing massages, and food worth traveling for. And there's plenty of slow, unhurried time that belongs only to the two of you.
I'm also bringing a special guest to lead some deeper conversation with the men, so no one spends the week feeling dragged along. [More on him soon.]
He doesn't have to love yoga. He just has to be open to a week of slowing down, and reconnecting with you.
WHAT SEVEN DAYS HERE WILL GIVE YOU
A week where the only thing on the schedule is each other, and yourselves.
Mornings on the mat, side by side, moving and breathing together before the day pulls you anywhere.
Long unhurried afternoons. A massage for each of you. A pool above the ocean. Nothing you have to solve.
Conversations that start and don't get interrupted.
You remember what it's like to be a person next to this person, instead of a household running alongside another household.
You go home with a shared practice and a shared language. A way of finding your breath together when the ordinary fullness of life comes back, and it will.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This week is for couples, it is built for two people who share a life and want time to tend to it. The practices, the room, and the pace are all designed for you as a pair.
-
No, and that's the whole point of how I built it. Between yoga sessions there's surfing, paddleboarding, fishing, whale watching, and golf. One of you can be twenty years into a practice and the other can have never touched a mat. You'll both be met where you are.
-
No. Partners, spouses, however you name it. If you're building a life together, this is for you.
-
Hard patches are part of a committed relationship. I personally have found that intentional time together away from all of our responsibilities nurtures our bond and helps us remember that we still enjoy one another. This is not intended to be a replacement for couples therapy.
-
The upgraded rooms are on the rooftop. They offer a view of the ocean and personal patios for lounging. The other rooms in the main house and spa are also beautiful.
