Cuatro Vientos | Yoga Studio in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur

Cuatro Vientos is a women-owned and operated yoga studio in north Todos Santos, on Calle Horizonte and Topete, set on an awe-inspiring and lovingly landscaped property that stopped me in my tracks before I even reached the door.

As I parked out front and made my way through the giant bamboo gates, I literally had to stop — I was so stunned by the thoughtfully curated grounds. Giant palms fanned out exquisitely while ferns and cacti of all kinds took their places among the beige gravel. Tall palms swayed overhead, and I peeked into a palapa whose sole intent seemed to be offering a quiet place for someone to simply be. The property has several spots like this scattered throughout, each one an invitation to slow down.

The Studio

The practice space is one of the largest I’ve ever practiced in — I’d estimate you could fit 30-40 people with plenty of space between mats. Large windows line two sides of the studio looking out onto the serene landscape, and a large concrete deck extends off the side with sliding doors overlooking the property. Wood floors, giant windows, and high ceilings make this yoga studio in Todos Santos an genuinely uplifting space to practice. With just 3 of us in class that Sunday morning, it felt downright luxurious.

Classes and Pricing

Cuatro Vientos is open every day of the week with a wide variety of classes including several modalities of yoga, dance, meditation, qigong, HIIT, and breathwork — making it one of the most well-rounded wellness offerings in Todos Santos. Classes begin as early as 7:30am and run all day into the early evening. Most yoga classes are 90 minutes, with some 60-minute, 75-minute, and 2-hour workshops and ecstatic dance sessions also on the schedule.

Most classes run 200-250 pesos, with some longer workshops at 300 pesos and others on a suggested donation basis. There is no need or ability to reserve a spot — fees are paid in cash directly to the instructor. Most classes are taught in English or bilingually, with only a handful in Spanish only. Their online schedule will have all of this information, including language.

Mats and props are included with the price of class. The prop closet is well stocked — colorful Mexican blankets and foam mats neatly stacked and folded, straps and bands in baskets on shelves, bolsters of various sizes, and blocks for additional support. Eco-friendly spray cleaner and towels are on hand to keep everything sanitized.

The Class

Dominique taught the Vinyasa class I attended that morning, and I was humbled by her technique and wisdom. We began with stretching and setting an intention, and what stood out immediately was her observation that we often simply go through the motions of our days — even yoga — instead of really dropping into the practice.

Dominique’s class forced me to slow down and move with focus. Without momentum, the slower pace challenged my body and required all of my attention as I moved through the poses. I left sweaty but exhilarated. As we said our farewells I thanked her for pulling me out of merely going through the motions — her words made me realize that’s often exactly what I’m doing when I practice early before work. She is the kind of teacher who stays with you.

Their online schedule doesn’t specify experience level for each class, but Dominique — like most intuitive instructors — tailored the class to the three of us. She consistently offered alternatives, urging us to push ourselves but always to scale back if something felt painful or wrong. An absolute beginner might find some drop-in yoga classes challenging, but a skilled instructor can typically work with any level, and Dominique did exactly that.

Getting There

Cuatro Vientos is in north Todos Santos, so if you’re staying in the central historic district I’d recommend driving. There is a walkway along Calle Topete, but depending on how overgrown the foliage is, it can put you closer to the road traffic than you’d prefer.

A Note on History

Cuatro Vientos has been open since 2015 and is the primary dedicated yoga studio in Todos Santos. While nearby hotels and wellness centers offer drop-in classes or yoga retreats, there is no other standalone yoga studio in the area — making this a genuine anchor of the Todos Santos wellness community.

La Esquina — Cafe Across the Way

The owners of Cuatro Vientos also run La Esquina, a cafe and event space just outside the studio gates. I didn’t get the chance to stop in — it had closed by the time my class finished — but it’s a popular spot for coffee, breakfast, and lunch, and regularly hosts concerts, DJ nights, and pop-up events. Worth factoring into your morning if the timing works. They are open 8am to 1pm every day (check). 

The Verdict

I was genuinely impressed with Cuatro Vientos and would love to try several more of their classes on a longer stay in Todos Santos. I respected Dominique and her teaching style deeply — she inspired me to push myself mentally and physically, and I know I’m working hard when my mind can’t wander and I’m fully in my practice. She got me there. If wellness travel is any part of your Todos Santos itinerary, this yoga studio in Baja California Sur is absolutely worth your morning.
