She Recovers - Yoga and Recovery on the Beach

She Recovers warmly invites the women of “Sober Sites” to join us for A Sacred Pause:

Yoga and Recovery on the Beach this November 24 – December 1^st.

This retreat promises seven days of female energy, yoga, sun, sand and sea right on the beach in Tulum, one hour south of Cancun. We will honor ourselves, our recovery and our bodies by taking a full week to relax and connect with ourselves, reflect on what we want to create next in our lives, and then refocus our energy for the return home. Although various excursion options will be made available, nutritious meals and yoga classes will be the only specifically scheduled daily activities to allow each participant to spend time exactly as she wishes. The Mayans predict that the end of this year marks a period of renewal for all of us, so we are thrilled to be hosting women in recovery in this sacred place, the Mayan Riviera.

Casa Princessa

Casa Princessa is located in the tropical paradise of San Pancho, Nayarit, Mexico (30 miles north of Puerto Vallarta).

Our Philosophy is “All of us deserve to be happy in our recovery and in our lives.”

Our goal is to provide a safe container for;

• Personal Insight


• Guided Introspection


• Rededication to Recovery

Our Goals are lofty but our intensive program is designed to enhance and infuse your recovery plan with new life and energy.

You will experience a journey of uncovery, discovery, and recovery. The week is structured to include daily guided meditation to connect deeply with your higher power, three afternoon workshops that move from family of origin work using Dr. Paul Brenner’s “Family Triangles”, moving into stress and relapse prevention and on to a new plan of action in your recovery. There is also a focus on the part grief plays in your life.

You will also participate in two group therapy sessions during the week and still have enough free time to explore, go to meetings, and take advantage of the many optional activities available.

The Yoga Of Recovery

Yoga of Recovery (YOR) is a retreat integrating the wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda with the tools of 12-Step Recovery.  It is open to all who are looking to overcome self-destructive or addictive tendencies. 

For those familiar with any 12-Step Program, the most remarkable aspect of these is the fact that only the first of the twelve steps makes any mention of the addictive substance or act.  Sobriety/abstinence is described as a “daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition”.  Our opportunity for genuine spiritual fulfillment is strengthened when we weave together the ancient wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda with the practical tools of recovery programs.  Together they offer us a truly empowering personal program of recovery.   12-Step Programs also recommend an “occasional retreat from the outside world where we can quiet down for an undisturbed day or so of self-overhaul and meditation”.  Yoga of Recovery offers retreats in beautiful, peaceful locations where you can relax, recover, and rejuvenate.
