PURE Pilates Retreat Heads to Yelapa, Mexico in March 2009

Jalisco_yelapa_boats



















PURE is hosting another Pilates retreat in 2009. This time though, it will be held in my favorite little village on the Pacific Coast of Mexico---a tiny gem called Yelapa.  This you-can-only-get-there-by-boat hideaway is where I filmed my first TV show (that went on to become Craving Adventure on The Travel Channel) and is literally one of my favorite places in the WORLD. 

We're gonna be kickin' it at Hotel Lagunita and have lined up all sorts of fun things:  jungle trekking to remote waterfalls, medicinal herb workshops, volunteering with children at the local art center, snorkeling with blue-footed boobies on Marietas Island (you can only see them here and the Galapagos), paragliding on the beach, and loads more.  Of course, there's also great food and two Pilates classes per day!

Email me for more details and everything will be spelled out soon on the PURE website.  I can't wait to get back to Yelapa...those stars...that tortilla soup...that just-speared octopus...that limpet scraped off a salty boulder and doused with lime...oh, the joy of it all!

You should definitely do it...we will have the best time ever...esp. since Yelapa is so dang MAGICAL!

I am so tempted to go...well maybe I will!
How're doin? XX the cowdog

Misty! I am so tempted to do this. I am hooked on Pilates especially Pilates in Mexico --its the best. Hasta luego, Gina

OMG--last time I was there a few years back---those gals were rockin' the pies all day long. Ever CHILLED one of the cheese ones? Sweet Jesus, that is just good stuff all the way around!

Oh please tell me the women with the pies on their heads are still there! I used to stay there in a palapa (last time 10 years ago) for $10US a night...........one of my favorite places on EARTH. Waking up to the sound of the thud of coconuts hitting the ground is pure joy.......
