About this retreat
Vallarta Breeze Yoga is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance, which designates this teacher training program as one which follows Yoga Alliance’s standards. Students who complete a verified training with this school may be eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as Registered Yoga Teachers (RYTs).
In 2018, Vallarta Breeze Yoga emerged in the vibrant heart of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, founded by a dedicated couple and yoga instructors, Jai and Manuel. Initially, attendance was sparse, with only a few students per class. However, momentum grew, and by the eve of the COVID-19 pandemic, the studio was thriving, with Jai leading three to five packed classes each day, including group sessions, online classes, and private lessons.
The pandemic’s onset necessitated a pivot to exclusively virtual classes, as we prioritized the health and well-being of our community. We resolved to remain closed until we could offer a spacious, health-conscious environment for our students, avoiding the overcrowded, stagnant conditions common in many studios.
Our new purpose built space is more than just a yoga studio; it’s a sanctuary where the yoga experience is enriched. After class our students are able to linger in the serene open-air surroundings, savoring a complimentary tea in the Roof Top Yogi Lounge, continuing their practice in the studio, or meandering through the tranquil gardens. Here, we embrace a relaxed pace, allowing everyone to BE in the moment.
Nestled on a mountainside, our yoga studio is a serene escape from the hustle of city life, accessible only by a picturesque stairway leading through the jungle. A mere 20-minute stroll from the beach and a stone’s throw from the Oasis condominiums and the tranquil Cuale river, our sanctuary offers a generous 900 square feet of mostly sheltered open-air practice area. This space is a green haven, encircled by planter boxes teeming with tropical flora and fragrant blooms like heliotrope and jasmine, creating a sensory delight as you ease into savasana.
“The Yogi Lounge” awaits atop the “Zen Den”, a 400-square-foot rooftop haven where comfort meets the stunning vista of the jungle and Vallarta sprawled below. Here, guests are invited to unwind with a complimentary tea or engage in lively conversation over coffee, all while enjoying the panoramic scenery. For those who wish to extend their practice, the studio space remains open for personal use post-class. Jai and Manuel are ever-present to guide you towards the perfect asana, during or after your session.
Vallarta Breeze also caters to those seeking an immersive experience with our unique POD accommodations, ideal for Teacher Trainings, multi-day workshops or group retreats. Our four King PODs, situated in a climate-controlled area adjacent to the “Zen Den,” offer a cozy, tech-equipped haven complete with streaming-ready internet TVs. Privacy and tranquility are paramount, with each POD featuring its own locking door and noise-cancelling headphones.
The experience is complemented by two private showers, boasting rainfall showerheads set high above for an indulgent experience. Fully stocked with toiletries and equipped with personal sinks and hair dryers, these shower rooms are designed to refresh and prepare you for whatever your day or evening brings.. Available to both overnight guests and day visitors (for a nominal fee).
Our kitchenette, complete with reverse osmosis water, a mini-fridge, microwave, Keurig, and all necessary dishware, offers the convenience of home for preparing light meals or snacks. It’s just another way we ensure your time with us at Vallarta Breeze is as relaxing as possible whether you are with us for a yoga class or for a 200hr YTT, the amenities are yours to enjoy.
