March 8th - 15th 2025

Mar de Jade—situated on the Pacific coast of Mexico between the blue-green sea and tropical mountainside of Chacala Beach—is surrounded by natural beauty and tranquility. It is the ideal location to connect with yourself, deepen your practice, and explore the rich culture of Mexico. 

Join Eve Holbrook and me for a seven-day retreat in this spectacular location, 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta Airport by car. We will teach two daily yoga classes suitable for all levels from relative beginners to more advanced practitioners—an active asana practice in the morning and a restorative pranayama practice in the evening. The setting at Mar de Jade is an ideal place to truly restore your mind and body. Practicing so near to the tranquil sound of the ocean and healing elements of the jungle, along with nourishing our bodies with the delicious homemade food from the organic farm, will bring about a sense of restoration to your whole being.

Between sessions, there will be plenty of time for optional excursions (including a tour of the Altavista petroglyphs, traditional Mexican markets, nearby villages and beach towns, whale watching, and a boat trip), spa treatments, or simply relaxing at Mar de Jade.

The full cost of the retreat ranges from $1,950-$3750 per person, depending on choice of accommodation (please go to www.mardejade.com for descriptions), and an Early Bird Special is available to those who register before October 8th, 2025. The pricing listed below includes all yoga classes, lovingly-prepared organic meals, and seven nights accommodation. It does not include airfare to Puerto Vallarta, ground transportation, spa treatments, bar drinks, or gratuities.

To reserve your space, payment for the yoga portion of the retreat is required ($800, or $700 for early birds) and must be made separately with Liza via Zelle (lizatoft@gmail.com) or Venmo (@Liza-Toft). Payment for accommodations and meals must be made directly with Mar de Jade. You can call the resort toll-free at 1-800-257-0532, write them at groups@mardejade.com, or use this unique booking link: Book Online.

Space is limited, so we recommend reserving your space early to avoid disappointment.

Mar de Jade was created in 1983 in the spirit of active community service, gratitude for the natural environment, and cultivation of human life. To that end, it has founded numerous community projects, including regeneration of the land via non-toxic farming methods on a 19-acre organic farm, and an after-school program for local children in Las Varas, a nearby farming village. It is far more than a vacation destination; it is a community we love to return to year after year.
