2023 Zumba Yoga Retreat

~in Todos Santos, Baja, Mexico
Join us for this one-of-a-kind Zumba Yoga Retreat. Lots of fun with
daily Zumba and gentle Yoga
classes. Combined with Mexican cultural adventures and natural excursions...
This retreat was inspired by Duncan's enthusiastic students...when he goes to Mexico, many people comment they really miss his Zumba and Yoga classes! This Zumba Yoga retreat gives you the chance to enjoy his popular classes and escape the cold of winter!
Zumba Classes
World dance-inspired fitness classes, combining dance styles such as Latin dances--like Salsa, Merengue and Reggaeton, with Tango, Belly Dance, African, Broadway and Hip-Hop. Lovingly curated music and rhythms from around the world that make you want to boogie!
Zumba is not about
being perfect, or performing. It's about having fun and getting
exercise! Some classes will be more active, other classes will help you
break down the choreography and better understand the steps.
Beginner's welcome!
Gentle Yoga Classes
Gentle yoga classes for stretching the body, calming the mind and inspiring the spirit. Includes some simple, guided meditation practice. These easier yoga classes provide an ideal balance to the higher activity and energy of the Zumba classes. Restorative yoga classes may also be included.

The Retreat Location
Todos Santos is about 80 minutes north of Cabo San Lucas in Baja Sur, Mexico. It is a sweet, small, safe town known for its many art galleries and laid-back feel. There are many charming shops, restaurants and cafes to explore.
The accommodation is centrally located in Todos Santos. Originally envisioned as a yoga retreat center, the accommodations offer a pool, nice restaurant and rooftop patio.
It is a boutique hotel, so space is limited. Be sure to register asap, while there is still room!
