Why should I come to this retreat?

Well, simply because it’s going to be laid back and fun, the perfect break!

You will get to move your body with an amazing yoga teacher, get a massage and/or hike, bike, surf, kayak, shop, whatever your heart desires. Also, you’ll get to share time with some really cool people over a margarita or glass of wine. Pure relaxation with no expectations! The retreat will be full of casual vibes and all things awesome.....it’s going to be really fun! We are pretty stoked about it!!

Being my first ever yoga retreat I wasn’t sure what to expect, however, before we even arrived from the airport Dawn was taking care of us. She was there to great us and had made sure to save us some dinner. You can tell that she spent a lot of time on the details and loves what she does. The restaurants she picked out were amazing and the boat ride/whale watching was something I’ll never forget. As for the yoga, Hillary’s calm presence, ability to read the room and adapt to go with the flow (including the occasional four legged furry friend on the beach) was impressive. I can be picky when it comes to yoga instructors and I would recommend Hillary any day of the week. Bottom line…you’ll be in good hands (and company) on whatever retreat these two yogi’s take you on! - Olivia G.

Sunshine. Yoga on the beach. Mango margaritas. Whale watching. And authentic empowerment to choose your own adventure. The 2022 Just Add Yoga Retreat in Sayulita, Mexico offered escape, a renewed fitness focus, and the opportunity to make new friends. Dawn has a gift for creating inclusive community and Hilary's puns make yoga fun. I highly recommend! -Erika B
