Join Kristin Butler and Mel Cunningham in their 5th annual Wellness Retreat at the beautiful Haramara retreat center for a magical week that will attune your body to its natural rhythm, recalibrate your chakras and open your unconscious to align to the divine, in the breathtaking Riviera Nayarit of Sayulita, Mexico. 

 Please allow your mind to free itself of external distractions while on retreat.  The teacher is within!  The theme of this year is "Lighten Up," and we encourage you to pack light and leave lighter, through the energetic practices of yoga, breathwork and meditation.

Over the course of this week-long retreat you will have ample free time to luxuriate in the beautiful  grounds which include a saltwater infinity pool and private beach.  Enjoy the healing ocean waters and jungle flora and fauna.  Rest, restore, and deeply connect with new and old friends. Savor delicious gourmet seafood and vegetarian meals. Explore the local area, heal, learn, and lighten up

This unplugged retreat is an opportunity to slow down and connect with yourself and the natural beauty of Mexico. Cabins are electricy and internet free and cellphone use is limited.

Daily practices at 7 am and 4 pm will be shared by all participants, whether beginner or advanced.  Showing up as you are, with a beginner's mind, remaining open and curious, is 99% of the discipline of yoga. Each day, we will gather for morning meditation and yoga to awaken our body and mind and celebrate gratitude for the day. The afternoon practices are restorative in nature and will combine yoga with other energy practices.

 Haramara is a secluded retreat center in the jungle outside of Sayulita, Mexico.  Private cabins nestled in the hillside are open air. All cabins have private baths with hot water and luxurious open air showers.  Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves on the shore and the jungle wildlife.   Allow your mind to free itself of external distractions as you incorporate the healing properties of letting go, integral to the spiritual and physical practice of yoga. Leave lighter than you came!

The practice of yoga is one of quieting the mind, stilling our ego-driven narratives and seeking guidance from within. When we retreat from distractions, we awaken to awareness.
