FINDING YOUR INNER POWER

Barbarenas is a retreat center with hand-crafted and naturally built eco-cabañas among tropical flora and fauna. Located in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca Province, Mexico, Barabarenas has 4 round eco-cabañas for 18 guests, a natural swimming pool, an open-air kitchen, and a large deck with ocean views for yoga & meditation. 

When I first found Barbarenas I immediately fell in love with its peaceful setting and natural atmosphere. I knew I wanted to return to this inspiring place and share what I had found with my students. It's a perfect envirinment to practice together, find quiet and disconnect from our daily routine.

Accommodations

You will be sleeping in one of 4 Eco Cabanas on the property. The rooms can be configured to accommodate couples or individuals. In addition, each Cabanas has a private, rooftop “nook” with a full bed under traditional palapa thatch style roofing. The Cabanas have private terraces with ocean views and ensuite bathrooms.

Dining is farm-to-table vegetarian and fish/seafood meals served buffet family style. Barbarenas sources local and organic produce as much as possible, some grown on-site and some from their farm a few miles away. Strictly vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and other dietary restrictions are available if requested ahead of time.

Early morning breakfast includes tea, coffee, fresh fruit, juices, local baked goods and cereals/oats. Midday brunch includes mexican style foods (chilaquiles, huevo al mexicana, beans), eggs, tortillas, fruit, and veggies. Dinner includes local salads, veggies, fish, grains and dessert. Afternoon snacks and drinks are always available. Of course, the cooking tends towards Oaxacan themed meals.

How to get to Barbarenas in Puerto Escondido

The Retreat center is located in Brisas de Zicatela, Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico, and is just 15 minutes from Puerto Escondido International airport (PXM). Frequent daily flights connect PXM to Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX) in Mexico City. Local taxis will bring you to Barabarenas from the airport for roughly $10-$20 US dollars. US citizens do not require a Visa to visit Mexico but should have a valid passport.

It’s just a 7 minute walk to the beach La Punta in Puerto Escondido and surrounded by miles of beautiful sandy beaches on the Pacific Ocean. The famous surf break Zicatela is just a short walk and spectate some of the best surfers in the world. Some other near by beaches which are calmer for swimming are Carrizalillo & Baccocha with it’s picturesque views. The water is warm (but not too warm) year around, and while pacific currents can be strong, there are no issues with algae and other pollutants found on the Caribbean side.

I invite you to disconnect from your daily routine & responsibilities, dedicate a few days to yourself, recharge through movement, surround ourselves in nature, eat nourishing food, eliminate daily stress & pretend time doesn’t exist just for a weekend. A gift to yourself to deepen your yoga practice! I’m sure you’re just as excited to learn as I am to teach again in real life.

Join me for a weekend yoga retreat at Ojas Retreat Center in Southern California on the edge of Santa Rosa Ecological Reserve, less than 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean.

Testimonials

“This was such a wonderful retreat! I came back feeling strong, relaxed, and clear-headed. The facilities are gorgeous, the food delicious, the yoga excellent, and Victoria scheduled the retreat with the perfect amount of structured and unstructured time. I will definitely be back!"

-Laura S.

“Truly an incredible weekend! From the location, to the people, to the food, to the yoga! It made it easy to get rooted and connected with my practice with just enough structure with the yoga classes and set meal times, but enough leniency that you could go and explore the area or just chill if that's what your soul needed that weekend. I left with such a full heart, and some new friends! Highly recommend going on Victoria's retreat if you're considering it!”

-Margaux F.
