This trip went beyond my expectations. The yoga, the location, the food, the ease of The Travel Yogi… the total package. Was I in heaven?

- Robin R.

Katie and I just returned home last night and I wanted you to know we had an amazing time! The resort was amazing, the food delicious, instructor Alexa wonderful, and all the people were really nice! Needless to say we are hooked ! I hope to experience more retreats. Please continue to send me info on any and all of your retreats!
Thank you!

- Denise R.

Being fairly new to yoga & only practicing regularly for over 1 year, JL has set the bar high. This was my very first yoga retreat and I’m blessed to have found her through The Travel Yogi. Thank you to The Travel Yogi for being so thorough in preparation for this retreat! How could I not book with The Travel Yogi again? Namaste!

- Nelda L.
Do I need a passport or visa?
US citizens will need a passport to visit Mexico, but no visa is required at this time. Nationals of all other countries should check travel requirements well in advance of their Prana del Mar retreat.
What airport should I fly into?
Please fly into Los Cabos International Airport (SJD). Transfers to the yoga retreat center will be arranged from the airport only. Please schedule your flights to arrive no later than 4.45pm on the first retreat day and leave no earlier than 11am on the last so that you don’t miss anything!
How far away from the airport is Prana del Mar?
Prana is situated in it’s own private oasis, it will take approximately 55min to get to the resort from the airport.
How do I get to Prana?
We got’cha! All yogis will be picked up from the airport and transported in a private van to Prana del Mar on the arrival and departure days of the retreat. Anyone arriving on alternate days will pay the shuttle service directly but we’re happy to arrange the transfer for you.
Do I need to bring my own soaps and shampoos?
Prana supplies high end soaps, shampoos and conditioners for all guests. Due to their eco-friendly water treatment process, they do request that you use their products only.
Can I bring my hair dryer?
Please leave hair dryers at home and sport the au natural look for the week. Prana’s solar power is better used heating the pool, jacuzzi and sauna 🙂
Does Prana have wifi?
Absolutely. Prana has a dedicated computer room where you can either set up your own laptop or use their guest computer. The wifi does not reach the guest rooms, so be prepared to work in the computer room, the library or by the pool.
Do I need to bring my own mat, strap and block?
Nope! Prana has two fully stocked yoga rooms so no need to schlep your own.
Is there swimming at Prana?
Naturally! Prana has a gorgeous stylized pool at the ready. The beach is beautiful and full of sand for walking, exploring and getting your feet wet. There is a very strong current along much of Baja so ocean swimming should be done at Todos Santos or on our kayak and snorkeling excursion.
Can I surf?
Yes. Beginning and intermediate surfers can enjoy a surf/swim excursion into Todos Santos. Boards are available in Todos Santos to rent and lessons are also available for those just starting out.
Can Prana work with my dietary needs/restrictions?
Prana provides a delicious and healthy vegetarian cuisine with fish or seafood a couple times a week. Dietary needs or restriction can be accommodated within Prana’s purview provided that you notify us at least six weeks in advance.
Do I need cash at Prana?
Prana does not run tabs for services so you will need some cash. The town of Todos Santos is a 40-minute shuttle ride away if you run out. Don’t worry about converting dollars into pesos before you go, or even once you arrive as US dollars are readily accepted.
After I book and pay my deposit, can I make payments on my yoga retreat?
Yes! Of course. Once you’re booked you’ll receive an email with important logistical information and a link to your invoice. You can pay any amount at any time on the invoice; you can use it as a payment plan or leave it alone until the final due date. Remember that deposits are non-refundable so, on all trips, we recommend purchasing travel insurance.
