Yin & Explore: An Oaxaca City Yoga Retreat

Exploration & Rejuvenation. A little adventure, a little more ease.

Join Yoga with Singer for 4 nights and 5 days of nourishing yin and flow yoga, colorful markets, delicious food, and unhurried discovery in Oaxaca City. Balance shared adventures with time to wander, rest, and follow your curiosity.

Move mindfully. Explore freely. Return refreshed.

5 Rooms Available: $1150-1800 per person with Early-Bird Discount. If signed up by 10/15

Warm Days, Cozy Evenings

February invites you to enjoy warm, dry days and crisp, cool evenings in Oaxaca. Expect daytime temperatures in the upper 70s°F (around 25°C), with nights dipping into the upper 40s°F (around 8°C). Pack light layers for exploring and a sweater or two for early mornings and evenings out.

Retreat House in Colorful Jalatlaco

Our six-bedroom retreat house is nestled in Jalatlaco, one of Oaxaca City's oldest and most charming neighborhoods, just a 10- to 15-minute walk from the lively historic center.

Here, the pace slows. Neighbors chat on street corners, colorful homes line cobblestone streets, and colonial architecture lends a sense of history to everyday life. The neighborhood's residential feel offers a welcome retreat from the bustle while keeping you close to the city's sights, markets, and restaurants.

Art is part of the scenery. As you wander, discover vibrant murals celebrating Indigenous heritage and imagery inspired by Día de los Muertos. It's a neighborhood made for leisurely strolls, small discoveries, and soaking in the beauty of Oaxaca.

Evenings: Good Food & Meaningful Connection

On Days 2, 3, and 4, Singer will arrange dinner reservations and host a different small group each evening, typically three to four guests joining her. The groups will rotate so everyone has time to share a meal and connect with Singer in a more personal setting.

On your other evenings, enjoy the freedom to dine independently or make plans with fellow retreat guests. Smaller tables create space for relaxed conversation and a more intimate dining experience, while giving you the chance to explore Oaxaca's food scene your own way.
