Mornings start with yoga on the outdoor deck, reached by a short private trail from the villa, looking out over the coast. Kaitlyn and Sandy teach the daily classes together, and one in-depth workshop is built into the week for a longer look at the practice. Mats are provided, so you don't need to pack one.

The week has three set excursions. A private boat takes the group out to Huatulco's bays for swimming and snorkelling — many of the beaches here can only be reached by water. A guided walking tour covers La Crucecita, the small town about 10 minutes from the villa, with its shops and restaurants. And a traditional Mayan temazcal ceremony is held during the stay. There is also a soundbath ceremony, and one group dinner at a local restaurant followed by a night out in town.

Food is cooked onsite by a chef for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, using fresh local ingredients. Meals are served in the open-air dining area of the villa, which also has a comfy outdoor living room for lounging between activities.

The villa sits in coastal forest above Tangolunda Bay, with views of the beach and the mountains. It manages to feel secluded while being a 10-minute drive from town. Down the private trail is the yoga deck; down another short hike is a secluded beach cove. There is a private pool and hammocks for the hours in between.

What separates this from a generic yoga week is the setting and the mix: daily classes outdoors, a boat trip to bays you can't drive to, a temazcal, and enough unscheduled time to actually rest. It suits someone who wants yoga twice a day about as much as someone who wants one class and a lot of swimming.
