Meals at Pura Vida are centered on fresh, plant-forward ingredients and are prepared by the venue’s local chefs. Dietary needs are thoughtfully accommodated after guests share restrictions and preferences with the retreat team.

The retreat also includes designated meals at favorite Yelapa restaurants, offering an authentic taste of local Mexican cooking. Final meal timing follows the retreat itinerary.

The Temazcal is a traditional Mexican sweat lodge ceremony centered on heat, steam, reflection, and connection. Pura Vida’s Temazcal is located on the retreat property.

Participation is always personal. Guests should consider their comfort with heat and enclosed spaces and follow the facilitator’s instructions throughout the ceremony.

Snorkeling offers a simple way to spend time in Yelapa’s coastal waters and observe marine life at your own pace. Masks and fins are included for retreat guests.

Ocean visibility and water conditions vary. Guests should use their own judgment, stay within their swimming ability, and follow local guidance before entering the water.

Daily yoga, breathwork, and meditation are at the heart of the retreat. Morning and evening offerings create space for movement, stillness, and reflection.

Practices take place on Pura Vida’s open-air yoga deck overlooking the Pacific and are shaped for the group by Reva and the retreat team.

The cacao ceremony is a facilitated group gathering that includes ceremonial cacao, reflection, and shared intention. It offers a dedicated moment to slow down and connect with the retreat community.

Participation is optional. Guests with dietary sensitivities or health questions should review the ingredients and decide whether cacao is appropriate for them.

The retreat plan includes two Yelapa waterfall experiences: a shorter walk to the in-town waterfall and a larger jungle adventure with a packed lunch, time to swim, and a stop for refreshments.

Routes, trail conditions, heat, and weather can change. Bring appropriate footwear and water, and choose the experience that fits your mobility and comfort level. Learn more about Yelapa.

A guided sound session uses crystal singing bowls and other resonant instruments to create an immersive space for listening and rest.

Guests can settle into a comfortable position and experience the session in the way that feels most supportive to them.

Live DJ Yoga brings movement and music together in one shared practice. A live soundtrack supports the pace and atmosphere while the class remains grounded in breath and intentional movement.

The session is part of the retreat schedule and is guided for the group, with room to adapt the practice to your own body.
