With Gabrielle James & Maureen Ferry
Leave winter behind and step into sunshine, movement, and renewal
Join Gabrielle James and Maureen Ferry for six rejuvenating days of yoga, nourishing meals, and meaningful connection at a breathtaking private villa on the Riviera Maya.
Designed as an escape from the demands of daily life, this retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect, and realign with what matters most. Mornings begin with energizing yoga and meditation, followed by wholesome chef-prepared meals and time to unwind by the pool or explore the beauty of the coast. Afternoons offer workshops, reflection, and adventures that inspire both body and mind.
Each day balances intention and ease, with structured practices that support deep restoration, and plenty of unstructured moments to rest and soak in the sun. You’ll be surrounded by community, yet given the space to find your own rhythm.
Leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and inspired, with your body nourished, your mind clear, and your spirit light.

FAQ
Do I need to have yoga experience to join?
Not at all! Our classes are designed to be accessible for all levels. Whether you’re brand new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you’ll be guided through each session with options to modify or deepen your practice.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely! Many of our guests are joining solo and leave with lifelong friends. If you choose a shared room, we’ll pair you with a like-minded roommate.
What are the travel details?
Fly into Cancún International Airport (CUN) on Sunday, March 8th in the AM. Direct roundtrip flights are currently around $300–$400. You’ll book your own flights, and we’ll take care of private luxury van transportation to the villa (about a 1-hour drive). We’ll have our first yoga class that evening, so plan to arrive in time for the van pickups - the earliest shuttle is at 2 PM and the latest is around 4 PM. This should help you choose flights that work best with our schedule. On Friday, March 13th, we’ll enjoy a morning yoga class, breakfast, and then check out of the villa by midday.
What’s the cancellation policy?
A $500 deposit is non-refundable. If you’ve paid in full and need to cancel, you’ll receive a refund only if we’re able to fill your spot with another guest. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment in case of unexpected changes.
Do I need to bring yoga props?
The three beautiful on-site yoga spaces have plenty of mats and props for everyone, so you can travel light.
What type of cuisine is served?
Our in-house chef prepares three meals a day with an exquisite menu offering deep Mexican roots with contemporary style influences, local and ethical ingredients, and will follow any dietary restrictions you may have. Filtered water, tea, and coffee will always be available.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, but we encourage guests to spend as much time as possible unplugged so they can fully immerse themselves in the experience.
How do I reserve my spot?
Click “Sign Up” below to secure your spot. Space is limited - there are only 11 rooms in the villa - so once a room is gone, it's gone!
