“What a trip! Mike and Rachel, Thank you!!! Our family had the best time at The Yoga Barn retreat in Platanitos, Nayarit, Mexico. From the authentic meals, daily yoga, nightly sound baths, outstanding adventures, relaxing massage, group beach day and our beautiful villa, everything was perfection for our family of seven! We look forward to the next one!

Yoga Barn Ranch PVR 2022 was a trip of a lifetime! From the beautiful scenery, delicious meals prepared for us, the excursions in Sayulita, to the new connection and friendships made, it was all around an amazing trip!! I stayed in Villa Lazuli and I loved my accommodations, but even more so I l loved the 2 ladies that cooked for us each day. The views from my villa were breathtaking, and I got to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets each night. I came on this trip only knowing a few people, I left with many new friends from all around!

There’s an old quote about the destination…and the journey. And another about getting off the beaten path. And somehow both of them apply to this unique and unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived in Puerto Vallarta, every step of our trip was thoughtfully managed by the Yoga Barn Ranch. Sure, the journey from the airport took us off the beaten path (isn’t that where all the greatest discoveries are?), but the destination was quite simply, breathtaking, spectacular, mesmerizing…there aren’t enough adjectives. Each well-appointed Casita provided an oceanfront oasis, where we connected with families and new-found friends from all over the country. If the accommodations received Yelp reviews, they would have to add more stars. I’m not sure how you guys found this place, but thank you. Thank you. Every creature comfort you can imagine was taken care of. We were pampered with on-site massage and treated to postcard-perfect views in every direction and every meal was simply delicious. Absolutely delicious. Some of my personal highlights…seeing humpback whales breach and play along the coast, baby turtles scampering to the ocean, a soul-healing sound bath under the stars while listening to the waves, and practicing yoga under the canopy of a 400 year-old tree. Ahhh. Thank you YBR and Breathe Yoga for the encouragement to join you for this amazing experience. I’m ready to go again…wherever the next destination leads. Bruce D Northern California

Puerto Vallarta 2022 was an amazing experience. Mike and Rachel Lattuca took care of everything to the smallest detail. We were very well prepared before the trip, taken care of very well during our stay and were very well taken care for our departure. If you are looking for a yoga retreat or just a great place to relax away from it all, this is the place. The grounds of the resort were absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views. There is so much to appreciate and enjoy just by staying in your villa if that is what you elect to do. We had an amazing time. Thanks Rachel and Mike for all you did for us. Good luck in your future endeavors with future retreats.

If you are looking for a hassle free, relaxing, peaceful vacation....this trip is for you. Shannon S. Colorado

Mexico can often have the hustle and bustle of party-goers...this trip is the opposite of that. Plantinitos is off the beaten path, remote and private - totally disconnected from all of the chaos of the big cities. It is a few hours north of PV. The villas offer incredible privacy and encourages a slower relaxed pace to truly disconnect and decompress. As the family organizer, it was SUCH a relief to have everything handled for me. All I had to do was pack and show up. Mike and Rachel took care of everything: Transportation to/from the airport, meals (the food was fabulous), room accommodations, planning excursions (zip lining, horseback riding on the beach, Atv’ing in the jungle, massages, kayaking etc), shopping in Sayulita and more. They put so much careful thought into every single detail of the trip - even having bug spray available! If I needed anything, all I had to do was ask. Nothing was lacking! Tristina E., Colorado

Yoga was offered a few times per day with amazing views (on the beach or staring at the horizon with whales dancing in the distance), and every night we had a sound bath under the stars. It was pure magic. There was no pressure to do anything except to relax and enjoy. It was wonderful to share space with other villa guests and create new friendships.
This vacation was a soul-filling, humbling experience and I cannot wait to go again! Bonnie & Ted W., Southern California


Puerto Vallarta was the first yoga retreat I have been to and in paradise no less. My villa was amazing with a private bath. We had 2 cooks for each villa, who were locals cooking up awesome meals complete with homemade tortillas and fresh mangos or other local fruit. Yoga was offered twice a day including sunrise salutations and evening sound baths. The grounds are lush and the setting is secluded away from the bustle of tourists. I opted for massage and horseback riding. What’s better than sauntering along the beach perched on a horse or languishing with a one or two hour massage. Yoga on the beach?? You bet!! Plenty of time to relax as well as take in the quaint town of Sayulita which offers shopping, eating and beach time too. I knew two people when I arrived.. I now have 40 more friends. I’m ready to experience it all again. For me, a trip I’m glad I experienced.

“Best place to be a yogi! Yoga with Rachel @theyogabarn #namaste 🙏💕”

“Thank you Mike Lattuca, for choosing to show up, as the leader you are, and creating this space for all to thrive and soar. Retreats like this where awareness was brought at different levels and healing energy, combined with strategies and tactics can move people forward by years in a few days. The weekend not only touched our souls, spirits and expanded our minds, but kept our tummies and taste buds happy with all the wonderful yumminess 😋 with all the meals you cooked for us with so much love 🥰😍. And Rachel Lattuca, to have the dream and passion to have created the space, which you graciously shared with us all. Much gratitude 🙏❣️”

“I love you guys and what you have created. A beautiful space with healing energy. And thank you again for your extra care in making sure that my food was vegan and soooo creative and delicious! Rachel provided another level of love and passion and provided us with amazing yoga classes.”

“Such an AMAZING space!! I had the privilege of sleeping in the beautiful, spacious loft...like a baby I might add...waking up to beautiful sunrises and drinking my smart coffee snuggled in while looking at the mountains. The YBR is an incredibly restorative space for individuals and groups. Mike, chef extraordinaire feeds our bodies with nourishing clean food while deliciously accomodating our individual dietary needs. (I’m gluten free)and Rachel replenishes the soul with yoga, hikes into Joshua Tree National Park and other fun excursions. I would highly recommend the YBR for any kind of retreat. Our team was rejuvenated, upleveled and nurtured. I cannot wait to go back personally and now I want to design a retreat just so I can bring a group!😊😍❤”
