La Saladita, Mexico 2/20/2027
7 Day Somatic Surf Retreat
What are 3 unique elements of our retreats
01 / The Surf
Nestled along Mexico’s Pacific coast, La Saladita is famous for its long, rolling waves and welcoming surf for all skill levels. Whether you're finding your footing or refining your flow, the ocean offers a space to connect with nature, practice presence, and discover more of yourself.
02 / The Wellness
Reconnect with your body through guided somatic practices, meditation, yoga, and breathwork. Learn simple, practical techniques to release tension, find balance, and take home to bring greater awareness into everyday life.
03 / The Stay
Stay at Casa Esmeralda, located right on La Saladita's famous surf break. Enjoy fresh meals prepared by a private chef, support from the local board shack staff, vibrant local art, and a charming walkable town that invites you to slow down and soak in the coastal lifestyle.

How We do it
02 / Take Your Practice Into the Ocean
Bring the lessons from your somatic sessions directly into your surfing. Practice staying calm when waves approach, using your breath in stressful moments, releasing physical tension, and finding confidence in uncomfortable moments.
05 / Disconnect to Reconnect
For those who choose it, our optional closed-container experience offers an opportunity to step away from phones, work, and outside distractions. Immerse yourself fully in surfing, somatic exploration, meaningful connection, and the simplicity of the coast.
01 / Understand Your Mind & Body
Through group somatic discussions, daily meditation practices, and journaling, we will explore how stress, emotions, and past experiences show up in the mind and body. You’ll learn practical techniques to recognize tension, regulate your nervous system, and respond to challenges with greater awareness.
03 / Move, Breathe & Restore
Our yoga instructor guides mindful movement, stretching, meditation, and breathwork to complement your time in the water. Create space to recover, reconnect with your body on land, and cultivate a sense of balance.
06 / Learn Tools That Last
Through discussions, guided reflection, and hands-on practice, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your mind-body connection. Leave with approachable techniques you can integrate at home, long after your final wave.

Your Home for the Week: Casa Esmeralda
Casa Esmeralda, a three-story beachfront guesthouse on Playa La Saladita, sits where the sand ends and the Pacific greets you. Simply walk down the stairs, take 30 steps, and you’re right where you’ll paddle out to a long, peeling left: check the surf over morning coffee and be in the lineup minutes later.
Between sessions, settle into the shared common with its hammocks, lounge chairs and shade umbrellas, rinse off at the outdoor shower, and watch the sun sink into the ocean from the sea level patio or upper floor terraces.
A private chef prepares fresh, nourishing meals throughout the week, so you can get into the flow of your week of surf and growth. Just beyond the house, La Saladita’s small, walkable beach town offers palapa restaurants, the local board shack and a relaxed coastal pace.
