About this trip

  

Get ready for a week of sunshine, yoga, and pure magic in Sayulita, Mexico—a colorful Pueblo Mágico where the jungle meets the ocean and every moment feels like a gift. Throughout the retreat, we’ll draw inspiration from the five great elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—using them as a lens to ground the body, free the mind, and ignite the spirit. Together, these energies create our recipe for joy as we explore practices that cultivate grounding, flow, transformation, creativity, and potential.


Our mornings begin with soulful Rasa yoga sessions, weaving together movement, breath, meditation, and meaningful teachings to leave you feeling vibrant and deeply connected. Afternoons are free for lounging by the infinity pool, strolling Haramara’s private beaches, wandering the colorful streets of Sayulita, or trying something adventurous like surf lessons or a boat trip to spot whales. As the day winds down, we’ll gather again for nourishing practices and pranayama, sacred rituals, and meaningful conversations under the stars.


This retreat goes beyond yoga—it’s about embracing play, rest, and the joy of being alive. You’ll savor incredible organic meals, soak up the sun's warmth, and feel the rhythm of life slow down as you unplug and reconnect with yourself, nature, and an amazing community.


If you’re craving a reset—a week to let go, laugh, and truly feel free—this is your chance. Sayulita is calling.

About Sayulita

Sayulita is a vibrant coastal town that offers a taste of authentic Mexico with its rich blend of tradition and laid-back charm. Located about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta, this small fishing village has been drawing surfers and free spirits since the 1960s, and its bohemian roots are still very much alive. Stroll the cobblestone streets, where artisan boutiques and roadside stands showcase handmade goods—textiles, wood carvings, paintings, and more—all crafted by local artists and craftspeople.


The town’s main beach is a great spot for beginner surfers to catch a wave, while more advanced surfers can explore nearby breaks. Beyond the surf, Sayulita invites you to slow down and take it all in: the colorful streets, the sounds of the ocean, and the easy rhythm of life in this magical town.

Wouldn’t have traded my time in India for anything. The lasting friendships, the incredible teachings of yoga, and the beautiful surroundings are only the first layer of this transformative trip. If you are able, I definitely recommend taking this journey ❤️
By Nell R for The Radiance Retreat: Rasa Yoga + Ayurveda on Oct 22, 2024
This trip was UNBELIEVABLE! Surpassed all my expectations. The retreat center was not only gorgeous, but the staff had impeccable service. The Ayurvedic sessions consisted of daily checkin's with your doctor, and 2 hours of dedicated hands on treatments that were out of this world. Greta's (2x daily) yoga sessions captured the celebration of the Goddess (Navaratri Festival) and dove deeply into culture and historical teachings in India. My body felt daily energized, strengthened and refreshed. The food at the retreat was incredible and plentiful... choosing from 20 different types of Ayurvedic dishes at each mealtime. We had several cultural experiences too; at the retreat center with local dancers as well as exploring nearby areas and temples. Greta is well known for her inspirational leadership and was able to gather together a group of 18 incredible women for this trip. We all experienced deep learning and personal growth and many of us have begun new friendships back home. EXCELLENT!

The Radiance Retreat in Kerala, India was an experience of a lifetime. Greta Hill is an amazing yoga teacher who supports each individual in their spiritual and physical transformations while being incredibly warm and down to earth. The retreat center is unbelievably beautiful - oceanfront with an infinity pool, treatment center (two hour treatments every day) and a dining area open to the gorgeous grounds. The staff at the retreat center could not be more helpful and friendly. India, specifically Kerala is amazing to experience, from beautiful temples and colorful markets to just walking through streets bustling with sights I have never seen anywhere else. If anyone gets an opportunity to go on a retreat with Greta Hill I would recommend you go for it!
