Sacred Rides Mexico yoga/mountain bike retreat featured in Outside magazineWe've got just the ticket for a recharge - an adventure for mind, body and soul!

Located on a spectacular private beach on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, this fantastic retreat combines exciting mountain bike riding with invigorating and relaxing yoga.

Imagine watching the sun rise while being lulled by the sounds of crashing waves in the midst of a morning yoga session. Shortly after a delicious breakfast, you're being thrilled by smooth, flowy riding in the beautiful, lush Sierra Madre mountain range. You're immersed in history and culture in the picture-perfect town of Mascota, and you plunge into the emerald blue waters of the Marietas Islands to swim alongside dolphins, sea turtles and manta rays. Adventure, exploration and relaxation - you really can have it all!

There are 2 optional yoga sessions per day (sunrise and sunset), covering a variety of styles and appropriate to the time of day (e.g. invigorating sessions at sunrise, and more relaxing sessions at sunset) and day's activities. On this trip, we'll ride doubletrack trails along scenic coastlines, with short to medium climbs on moderately challenging terrain.

Safety in Mexico

Although the drug trade has led to instability and major violence along the U.S./Mexico border, violent or organized crime is not a concern in this part of Mexico: the problems are mainly restricted to the areas near the border. Sayulita and Mascota, where we spend most of the trip, are two of the most peaceful places anywhere in Mexico (or the world, for that matter).

We work with local guides who are keenly aware of any issues that might affect our groups' safety - rest assured that the safety of our clients is of paramount importance to us and we would never do anything that would compromise it. 

Is This Ride For You?

This Ride is for intermediate Riders who enjoy riding relatively easy trails and don't mind the odd dirt road to access beautiful places. You love the ocean and beautiful beaches. You either have a regular yoga practice or are willing to give it a try. You love to explore other cultures and try new things, and don't mind getting out of your cultural comfort zone to open up to new experiences.
