New Year Renewal: 6-Day Yoga Retreat to Baja
with Claire Zurbrugg & Dani Willey
Set where the desert meets the sea in El Pescadero near Cerritos Beach, this 6-day / 5-night retreat invites you into the slower rhythms of coastal Mexico. Held at El Campo Retreat Center and guided by Claire and Dani, each day balances playful, light-hearted yoga and mindfulness practices with ample time to rest, explore, and move at your own pace. Wander the gardens, settle into a hammock, walk along the shoreline and watch for whales, or follow your sense of adventure with a surf lesson or a visit to the nearby historic town of Todos Santos. Between practices, the property offers quiet corners for reflection, an on-site spa for deep rest, and nourishing meals drawn from the land and sea — including vegetables harvested from the gardens at El Campo and fresh fish sourced directly from the boats at Punta Lobos — all held within the grounding presence of the surrounding landscape.
This retreat is designed to help you reset your nervous system, reconnect with yourself, and experience the clarity that comes from stepping outside your usual routine while supported by thoughtful practice, meaningful community, and an environment that naturally invites you to exhale.

About the Property
El Campo is a creative retreat space inspired by the slow, soulful pace of the Baja. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the farmlands of Playa Pescadero, El Campo sits just ten minutes south of Todos Santos and fifty minutes north of Cabo San Lucas. Created to support movement, connection, and rest, the property blends seamlessly into the desert-to-ocean landscape through a soft white palette, native woods, pulito concrete walls, and handcrafted tile accented by vibrant textiles.
A spacious, palapa-covered practice studio with sprung wood floors and floor-to-ceiling doors opens west toward the farms and sea, inviting open-air movement and sunset light. Indoor living areas flow effortlessly onto outdoor dining terraces and lounge spaces tucked among palms, cactus, and native flora. Guests can unwind in hammocks by the fire pits, rinse off in the outdoor shower after the beach, or settle into the infrared sauna and soaking pool.

Experience
An on-site huerta provides organic fruits, vegetables, and flowers, while the kitchen — led by renowned Mexico City chef and master cooking teacher Lucía Benítez in collaboration with El Campo founder Annie Parr — reflects the true abundance of the region. Menus are shaped by what’s fresh and local: produce and bread sourced nearby, fish purchased directly off the boats at Punta Lobos, and vegetables harvested from the garden.
Set along Baja’s Pacific coast, the surrounding region offers a rich blend of ocean, farmland, and culture. The colorful town of Todos Santos is known for its markets, art scene, and laid-back energy, while nearby Cerritos Beach — one of the area’s few swimmable sandy beaches— invites long, unhurried days of swimming, surfing, whale watching, or simply resting by the waves. Ample free time allows you to wander, explore, or take in the rhythm of coastal Baja, where wide skies, sea air, and a slower pace naturally shape the experience of retreat.
Accommodations
El Campo has two fully equipped houses on its property — the Mill and La Casita — each with its own vibe, sunlit patios, and shaded terraces. Both blend modern simplicity with Baja warmth, overlooking the Pacific, farmlands, and mountains, and offer shared access to the soaking pool, open-air practice space, and surrounding gardens.
Choose your retreat style! The Mill serves as the social and creative heart of the property, ideal for those who enjoy being close to the rhythm of shared spaces. La Casita, tucked into a quieter corner of the grounds, offers a more private, residential feel with expansive ocean views and secluded outdoor living areas. Shared and Private rooming options are available in either guesthouse and all rooms include hand-dyed robes, waffle cotton towels, soft white linens, and warm basket lighting.
