What To Pack For A Mexico Yoga Retreat
Generally, when making the journey, you need to pack for an overseas getaway of 1-2 weeks, including a passport, toiletries, camera, travel insurance, etc. But a few aspects are there you should consider for a yoga retreat in Mexico.
Your packing relies on the length of your retreat and the activities you are planning to do. However, if you are willing, you don’t need to carry unnecessary items in your suitcase or backpack.
Bags
What do I need to bring- a suitcase or backpack? It depends on the purpose I am willing to do.
For example, a small suitcase is suitable for a retreat lasting over seven days, door-to-door transport, etc. It is preferable if I don’t want any extra traveling.
But if you are planning to travel, arrange door-to-door transportation, or enjoy a 5-day retreat, you should go with a medium-sized backpack.
Clothing
Expect the Rosarito retreat, most the Mexico yoga retreats are available squarely in the tropics. It indicates that you can expect warm days and comfortable evenings between March and November.
You can find December to February a little chilly in the evenings and mornings. However, a light fleece, jacket, or shawl can make your job done. Whether traveling in the rainy season, a light rain jacket is essential.
Footwear
Don’t think too much while practicing yoga when it comes to footwear. However, it is essential to pack the correct shoes if you want to do activities like hiking, walking around town, or beach bumming.
Flip-flops or beach sandals are very famous on most beaches. If you want to enjoy day-long excursions or hiking, you need to pack a comfy pair of running shoes or all-weather hiking sandals.
Yoga Props
Famous yoga retreats in Mexico can offer yoga props you want, including yoga mats, blocks, straps, etc. It is better to check with the retreat center.
Other Recommended Items
You need to bring along a reusable water bottle in Mexico, and you can see Single-use plastics recycled recently. If you are getting out and about, you should use Sunscreen.
Try to have biodegradable sunscreen because it is better to have it in the ocean. However, you cannot use lotions of any kind at most Yucatan Peninsula cenotes. If you want to spend long days in the ocean, it is better to go with a high-UPF rash guard.
Whether you live in the U.S. or Canada, you don’t have to bring a power adapter. You can use your charging devices in Mexico.
But if you are from Europe, Asia, Africa, or somewhere else, you have to bring a travel adapter. Besides, ensure that the voltage range of your device is 127v @60Hz.
