About this trip

Minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Sayulita is a winding cobblestone road that leads to Playa Escondida, the hidden beach. It’s here, nestled between coconut palms and a quartz-adorned boulder on the shore, that you’ll find La Joya.  A family-run boutique hotel and retreat space, La Joya offers elegant accommodation, wellness-focused amenities and the opportunity to reconnect: to self, to nature, to whatever’s most important to you


Ladyvana is back at La Joya for it's second year and couldn't be more excited! Ladyvana is THE women's retreat, for women looking to reconnect with themselves, nature and sisterhood. 


Practice yoga overlooking the ocean, dive deep into your own internal world through guided journaling, conversation and activities. Leave a transformed human! Last year, this retreat sold out in hours, so grab your spot while you can!


Getting to La Joya

Retreaters can fly into Puerto Vallarta airport (PVR) which accepts direct flights from cities across Canada (including Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Victoria and Quebec), the USA (including Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle) and Finland.


Once there, take a leisurely 50-minute drive through the jungle via taxi or we can arrange a private SUV to pick you up for $150 + taxes per car/ round trip or $80 + taxes per car/ one way.


Last year, some retreaters flew in early or stayed later to explore surrounding areas such as San Pancho, Lo de Marcos, Punta Mita and/or Puerto Vallarta.

JUST BOOK IT, you will not regret it!!! Absolutely the best gift I could have given to myself!! From the moment I booked this trip (& I was hesitant about leaving home for 7 days) Ally was warm and accommodating. I'd never been to a yoga retreat and had no prior knowledge of Ally. Although I was completely open, I didn't know what to expect. A good friend spoke highly of her prior experiences with Ally and her retreats, I trusted her and decided to try it out. What I found here, is that this is soo much more than a yoga retreat. From the time I landed in Panama, I felt safe and well taken care of. When greeted at Sansara Resort, we were met with friendly faces and genuine spirits. It was a private experience with only our group of 26 women on the resort. The staff, the rooms, the food, everything was beyond amazing. No need or want went unmet. I got sick one day of the trip and both the resort staff and Ally was supportive and caring. Ally checked in on me and helped me get the medicine I needed. I had only done yoga a few times and had no strong interest in it. But each morning of the retreat I showed up to my mat and surrendered to the experience. I was able to connect so deeply with myself in this class and be present in my body in a way that I realized I hadn't been before. Ally's passion for this work was evident from her teaching. She teaches from a place of patience and rawness at the same time. It's the way she chooses the perfect music as a backdrop for your healing, the way her words moved through me reminding me to take up space and be graceful with myself and my body, the way she helped me to reshape my inner voice through the affirmations she crafted. I came to enjoy the process of yoga and have continued my yoga practice in my home city. Ally led our breathwork classes with such strength and freedom, giving us all permission to give ourselves permission to let go and not be afraid to feel whatever was coming up. I've never felt so supported and held in my healing journey as what I've felt here in these classes she led. The breathwork was transformative in a major way. So much so, that all of us women from the retreat requested an additional group breathwork session with Ally. I journaled more than I had in months, I swam in the ocean under the stars, I learned how to surf and had so much fun trying, I spent so much quality time with myself, and in nature, I rode bikes to the most beautiful waterfall recovering my child like sense of wander and playfulness, I cried..so much, I felt like I was able to disconnect from the world around me, from social media, etc. and I received so many insights and connected with quite a few women. This was truly an empowering experience, being on this journey with a group of women of various ages and backgrounds, healing individually and collectively, it was truly magical! Ally, girl, you are amazing, your gifts, your light, I appreciate you so much! Thank you for holding space for me to continue healing and processing. Thank you for the passion you have dedicated to helping so many women and young girls. Thank you for showing up so genuine and so warm. Thank you for helping me to remember and giving me tools to use when my own light dims a little bit. I can't wait to join you on another retreat! You will always have my love and support. Until next time Xx -Kasha

Absolutely incredible! Trip of a lifetime.
By Tracey V for Ladyvana Panama 2024 on Nov 15, 2024
Intentionally I took some time to write this review because the incredible effects of this retreat continue to compound and transcend into every area of my life. What I learned and experienced at Ladyvana far surpassed anything I could have asked for. I learned resources from Ally that make its way into my daily life and have quite literally change who I am. In the most positive way possible. The women, now turned sisters, that I met are one of the best outcomes of this retreat. Breathwork, movement, journaling, presence in nature, laughing and playing are all things I “knew” but now I reeaaaallly know. Thank you Ally for truly changing my life. I couldn’t begin to quantify this in words, so a virtual hug will have to suffice ❤️🙏🏼 Excited for my next one!

Ally Maz has a message for you
By Paul B for Summer Series on Aug 07, 2024
Ladyvana is hands down the absolute best thing I have done for myself ever! Words cannot describe how immensely special this experience was alongside 23 remarkable women. I entered the retreat with high expectations, given what I had heard about these retreats in the past, and the experience exceeded anything I could have ever expected! Ally does an incredible job of knowing what the group needs each day and curates the retreat to the groups needs. With the perfect balance of relaxation, self reflective work and time to bond with others, I came to the retreat feeling depleted and like a shell of myself and left the retreat feeling full, feeling joy and well equipped with the tools needed to maintain the growth made during the retreat. I am honestly shocked at how far we all came in just 5 days, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything and look forward to joining another one in the future! I highly recommend this retreat to any woman - you deserve it!

If you believe in the definition of a miracle is as a shift in perspective, Ladyvana isn't really a yoga retreat, it is a journey of creating miracles. Panama 2023 was my 2nd Ladyvana trip, and I can say with certainty now that the magic I felt the first time in Mexico was not a fluke or a one-off experience. Ally is such an incredible conduit for deep work and connection, and brings a beautiful balance of joy, humor and power to her retreats that makes the impossible feel easily accessible. Both retreats I've gone on have been truly life-changing experiences, and each one has helped me find exactly what I needed at that moment in my life, even when I had no idea what I was looking for. The women I have connected with on these trips have become friends for life, and I am so grateful to be part of this sisterhood of amazing, supportive, vulnerable and authentic women across the world. From helping plan before the trip with hotel recommendations for Panama City and packing lists, to navigating challenging logistics to get us all to Sansara quickly and safely, Ally truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone was supported throughout the entire journey. If you have been thinking about joining a Ladyvana retreat, consider this your sign to do it!
