Location

El Pescadero, Mexico

El Pescadero, Baja California Sur, is a relaxed coastal community on Mexico’s Pacific side, located between Todos Santos and Cabo San Lucas. The area is known for its beaches, desert-meets-ocean landscapes, farms, and laid-back atmosphere, with easy access to surfing, nature, local cafés, and nearby cultural attractions. Its warm climate, open spaces, and quieter pace make El Pescadero an appealing setting for wellness retreats, yoga, meditation, and restorative stays close to the sea.

Testimonials

info

11 out of 10! My experience at Rima’s retreat was nothing short of outstanding. Rima is a truly seasoned and knowledgeable yogini; her decades of experience across a variety of lineages shine through in every session. She shares the Yoga Sutras with such grace and adaptability, making ancient wisdom feel relevant and applicable to the world today. What sets Rima apart is how highly relatable and fun she makes the entire experience - she is truly one of a kind. The retreat accommodations were brilliant, and having a personal chef prepare our meals was a luxurious and nourishing touch. The additional activities, including the sound bath and massage, were the perfect complement to the practice. I couldn't recommend this higher and am already looking forward to her next offering!

Thank you for a most beautiful and heart-opening retreat I would definitely rate this retreat as a peak life experience for me, and I do not say that lightly. Everything—from the accommodations to the stunning nature to the other members of the retreat, and of course the facilitators—was just pure magic. Being vegan and gluten-free, I was able to have my dietary preferences met. The food was delicious. I decided to pair this retreat with a digital detox as well. This is something I like to do from time to time to fully immerse myself in the moment. I was able to navigate where I needed to be while doing this pretty easily. I truly enjoyed the much-needed break. I attended this retreat while healing from a significant spinal injury. I had not done much yoga in a couple of months. I was able to do what I could in the yoga classes. I still felt a part of the experience. I did not feel like I was pushing myself too hard. Thank you for the guidance in this area. It was much appreciated. I felt there was a wonderful balance of yoga, meditation, and downtime. Everything seemed carefully and exquisitely curated. I am very grateful for this experience.

It was my first retreat, and an amazing one at that! The accommodations were gorgeous, food was incredible, and everyone attending was lovely… but most importantly, RIMA made it a once in a lifetime experience. So grateful to have been able to attend and make the memories that I did.
