Somewhere across the sea… A magical week of Ashtanga Yoga, community, stunning beaches and breathtaking jungle vistas.
Journey with us into deep community and nature’s untamed beauty at Xinalani, hosted by Katy Scherer and Joseph Armstrong from September 19th to 26th, 2025.
We’re so excited that you’re considering this one-of-a-kind experience! Whether you’ve shared moments with us in Scotland, Italy or Guatemala, or this is your first retreat with us, you’re about to embark on something truly special.
This year, we’re taking our retreat to a whole new level at Xinalani, an eco-sanctuary where the jungle meets the sea. It’s more than a getaway—it’s an invitation to reconnect, reset, and recharge in one of Mexico’s most inspiring, off-the-grid destinations. Get ready for an unforgettable journey into yoga, nature, and community.
A typical day in Mexico
At Xinalani, each day offers a balance of yoga, relaxation, and immersion in the serene beauty of Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Mornings start with the soft sounds of the ocean and jungle as Joseph and Katy hold space for your sadhana, beginning with breathing exercises and meditation. This is followed by our traditional Ashtanga Mysore practice, where both Katy and Joseph provide personalized guidance in the gorgeous open-air yoga shall.
Afternoons are dedicated to deepening your practice. With workshops tailored to the group’s needs, you’ll explore topics like asana refinement, yogic philosophy, breathwork techniques. Beyond the practice, Xinalani offers an oasis of natural beauty, inviting you to explore its pristine beach, take a dip in the sea, or relax in the comfort of your eco-friendly cabana tucked into the lush jungle landscape.
