Have Yoga, Will Travel

"A brilliant combination of nature, wellness and yoga -- lead by talented and authentic instructors. I have travelled often both domestically and internationally, and I found the experience at Xinalani with Stephanie and Kiana to be second to none."

Stephanie is an incredible retreat leader and yoga teacher. She has the most nurturing approach. I was a little nervous about going on my first yoga retreat, but I immediately felt safe. Her classes are challenging but not overwhelming. Cannot recommend enough!

I could not have enjoyed this retreat more. The location was paradise and the food was amazing! Stephanie is a lovely, laid-back and knowledgeable host who tailored her classes to the students, which included beginners and experienced yogis. I left Xinalani with a renewed dedication to my yoga practice and would highly recommend this retreat to anyone!

This yoga retreat went above and beyond in exceeding my expectations. The entire week was absolute paradise. I’m not an intense yogi and only practice once a week, so I was worried that it would be too much physically; but Steph made it so adaptable to meet each of us where we were in our practice and bodies that day. In between the Vinyasa/Hatha/Yin yoga sessions, we also got to workshop different things we wanted to work on, as well as experiment with aerial yoga! Steph made us feel instantly comfortable, which made it such a fun and inviting experience for all of us. The resort was also a wonderful selection -- Xinalnai was absolutely beautiful, with clean rooms and attentive staff, delicious and healthy meals. There was also plenty of downtime to just relax and recharge. I returned home feeling so refreshed and rejuvenated. 10/10 would recommend!

I had an amazing time at Xinalani! It really is a special place. Stephanie was equally amazing. She was open to suggestions from everyone in the group and tailored her yoga classes accordingly. 5 ⭐️!

This was my first time going on a yoga retreat, but certainly not my last! I went solo and had a wonderful time with everyone in our retreat group. Stephanie is a superb trip organizer and yoga teacher! She promptly replied to my questions via email throughout my booking process; and leading up to the trip, she shared helpful packing tips. During the retreat, she customized our yoga sessions based on our group's activity levels (ex. yin session after a hiking day). She is also a great conversationalist and an excellent photographer who captured so many special retreat moments. I'm looking forward to future yoga retreats with Stephanie!

"I had the incredible opportunity to join Stephanie on a week-long yoga retreat in Troncones, Mexico, and it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. Stephanie's daily yoga sessions, set against the backdrop of the beach and ocean, were a perfect blend of vinyasa and yin. Her guidance and thoughtful assists, coupled with excerpts on mindfulness and life, were tranformational in this beautiful setting."

"Stephanie was one of the first yoga instructors who got me back into a consistent practice. Her unwavering support for her students and ability to convey her knowledge pushed me to grow in a variety of ways both on and off the mat. Every class I've taken with her has been creative, insightful and authentic. She offers plenty of modifications, alignment advice, and tips to push yourself to the next level. I was so excited to join her retreat to Mexico. It was an amazing experience!"

“I always enjoy Stephanie’s classes because of her fun and challenging flows. I also appreciate the mindful words and intentions she adds to practice. I was so excited when she began offering yoga retreats and couldn't wait to join her in Mexico. It was everything I had hoped for and more! A full week of morning beach walks, twice-daily yoga and meditation, delicious meals, and plenty of time to read and relax. I returned home with a renewed sense of well-being.”

“Xinalani was absolutely amazing! Daily practice with Stephanie and Kiana was both challenging and centering. We had beginners in our group, as well as more advanced yogis, and everyone felt successful in their practice. The food was DELICIOUS! We were fully satisfied after every meal. The beach, the pool, the spa were all spectacular, and it was fun to practice in the various yoga spaces — each one with an incredible view. There was plenty to do without any pressure to do anything at all. If you are looking to recharge or seeking adventure, I highly recommend doing a retreat with Stephanie!”

“What an incredible week! We stayed in beautiful accommodations between the emerald beach and lush jungle. Every walk was a scenic adventure! The yoga classes twice a day struck a great balance of keeping us active yet feeling restored. Stephanie and Kiana are some of the coolest people around, and they created a space where everyone felt seen and appreciated. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys yoga, beaches, adventure, and delicious healthy food.”
