We're here to help! If you have any additional questions or need more details about the retreat, please email us at retreats@insighttimer.com, and we'll be happy to provide you with all the information you need.

Puerto Vallarta Airport (PVR) is only a 3-hour flight from San Francisco or 2 hours from Los Angeles. From the airport it's a 20-25 minute taxi drive to the Los Muertos Pier and a 40-minute Water Taxi ride to Yelapa.

You can either fly into Puerto Vallarta a day before the retreat starts or fly in early enough the day of to take the boat taxi. We recommend taking the 3pm or 5pm boat. We will send you detailed logistics after you book your space. Getting to Casa Isabel is an easy, safe and very picturesque journey. Somebody from Casa Isabel will be meeting you upon your arrival in Yelapa. More details will be given at our pre-retreat zoom meeting.

The beautiful thing about these trips is that it draws people from all walks of life and from all over the country that have a shared interest in yoga, being in nature, and personal growth.

This is an all genders retreat and we put a lot of emphasis on creating an environment that feels supportive to all people, including those in the queer community and people of color and where we are deepening mindfulness and collective care for ourselves, each other, and the planet. Rest assured, this is a safe space for you to be YOU.

There will be one in-person meet-and-greet sessions via Zoom to allow you time to break the ice and meet the ones who will be joining you. This is a time to to connect with others, start building relationships, and share dreams and excitement about the upcoming trip!

If you are an introvert, don’t worry, we got you. The great part of being out in nature is that there is a lot of space! You will have time to be in silence, sit quietly in nature, and to cozy up in your personal room at night.

January is cool at night (60s) and warm in the daytime (70s and 80s). The waterfalls are full. Rain is unlikely.

It is required to have a passport valid throughout the length of your stay, so please check your expiration date. Entry visa to Mexico is free and valid for 180 days.

If you would like to be matched with a roommate, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to pair you with someone else who is also seeking a roommate. Then you’ll have a chance to meet and get to know your fellow travelers during our pre-trip online gatherings.

In case there is no one to pair you with, your room will be considered a single, and an additional single occupancy supplement will be added to your retreat fee.

Because we intentionally keep our retreats small to foster deep connection and personalized experiences, our cancellation policy is designed to support both our guests and our team in sharing the responsibilities that come with unexpected changes.

Please be aware that all deposits and payments are non-refundable, regardless of the reason for cancellation—including unforeseen events such as acts of God, Covid-19, or natural occurrences. We highly recommend that you consider purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment in the event of unexpected circumstances.

If you find yourself unable to attend, we want to support you as best we can. With at least 30 days notice before the retreat begins, we are happy to transfer your deposit or apply it as a credit toward a future retreat with us.

We strongly recommend you protect your adventure retreat by purchasing a short-term traveler's insurance policy which covers baggage loss, accidents, and trip cancellation. Travel insurance picks up everything your regular insurance doesn’t cover. Sierra Laurel Yoga accepts no responsibility for lost, damaged or delayed property.

Trip cancellation insurance can reimburse you for any nonrefundable air and land expenses should you have to cancel your space due to family illness. It may also cover any emergency evacuation expenses should you become ill during the trip. Although every effort is made to ensure a safe trip, you should realize that in the event of illness or injury evacuation can be expensive. Please check your medical coverage to ensure it is adequate.

There are many travel insurance companies to choose from.

We recommend purchasing travel insurance when you purchase your air fair, but no later than a week before the trip. Purchasing early enough will provide you with a waiver of pre-existing conditions. Insurance acquired typically does not provide protection for pre-existing conditions.

This is a substance-free to low-substance trip. There is a focus and emphasis on deepening your relationship with yourself and the land.. It is also an opportunity to expand your capacity to be with the ups and downs without turning to substances.
