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.

Wellness at Estudio 52- Reformer Pilates in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur

Hacienda Todos Los Santos | Boutique Hotel Review | Todos Santos, Baja California Sur

April 30, 2026

The post Cuatro Vientos | Yoga Studio in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur appeared first on Carry On Better.

Opened in 2023, it’s a relative newcomer to the Todos Santos wellness scene, and already feels like it has a devoted local following.

I had never done reformer pilates, but my mother-in-law has been practicing for 12 years and when I had mentioned the yoga studio I was interested in checking out while in Todos Santos, she mentioned Estudio 52 and was delighted I was all in on trying out my first reformer class with her during our visit.

The Studio

Walking in, the space does something to you immediately. Warm grey walls match the upholstery on the 8 reformers — 4 on each side of the room — and the edges of the studio are lined with tropical plants in woven baskets. The ceiling is draped with soft suspended fabric that undulates gently overhead, and the walls have a brushed painting technique that adds texture without noise.

Our instructor Andrea put on a mellow playlist with just enough beat to keep us moving. The overall effect is effortless calm — the kind of space that makes you feel more balanced just by being in it.

The Class

It was my first reformer Pilates class, so imagine my elation when it turned out to be essentially private instruction for myself and my mother-in-law. Our instructor Andrea was incredibly kind and patient as I fumbled with the knobs and correct knee placement on the contraption.

Despite having done mat Pilates for years, the movability of the reformer took some getting used to — but Andrea’s instruction was clear throughout, with helpful countdowns and warnings before holds or pulses. She also offered hands-on adjustments when needed, which I always appreciate, especially when correct form is paramount for beginners.

My mother-in-law, who has been practicing reformer Pilates for over a decade, was equally impressed — and she’s the real expert here. She noted that the reformer machines at Estudio 52 were noticeably nicer than the ones she uses back in Portland: they glided better and had additional tension controls for finer tuning.

She also observed that we did 5 more repetitions of each exercise than her usual classes at home. “You really feel those extra 5 reps!” The next day I was a little sore but not to an extent that was unpleasant. I think for any first timer to reformer pilates, I wouldn’t be afraid to sabotage a vacation by taking a class.

Practical Details

Classes are booked online and reservations are mandatory. At the time of visiting, a single drop-in class was 350 pesos, with class packages also available. All classes are taught in English and Spanish, run 50 minutes, and are scheduled throughout the day starting as early as 7am.

I didn’t bring grip socks and was pleasantly surprised to find I didn’t need them.

With 8 reformers and the customizability of the machines, Estudio 52 feels well suited for clients of all levels — whether it’s your first reformer class or your thousandth. The studio can accommodate a full class but the early morning slot gave us what felt like a private session, which was a genuine gift for my first experience.

Getting There

Depending on where you’re staying in Todos Santos, you’ll likely need a car to reach Estudio 52. The studio was a 45-minute walk from our hacienda in the central district, and the route runs along a road with an overgrown sidewalk that puts you in close proximity to traffic — not impossible, but not ideal, especially since the comfort of the walk would be highly dependent on the upkeep of the abundant foliage.

If you’re staying in north Todos Santos, Estudio 52 could be walkable. We drove from the hacienda, and were glad we did.

As we were putting on our shoes after class, several cars pulled into the small parking lot for the next session — a clear sign that Estudio 52 has built a regular clientele in a short amount of time since the studio’s opening.

The Verdict

Next time I visit Todos Santos, I’d seriously consider staying on the north side of town specifically to buy a class package at Estudio 52. Even though it’s just a short drive from the central historic district, north Todos Santos feels like an entirely different part of town worth exploring.

If you’re looking for things to do in Todos Santos beyond the beach and the restaurants, this reformer Pilates studio is a genuinely lovely way to spend a morning in Baja California Sur. The north side has its own vibe away from the main district of Todos Santos and I am looking forward to discovering everything it has to offer on my next trip to Baja.

The post Wellness at Estudio 52- Reformer Pilates in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur appeared first on Carry On Better.

Tropical beach towns and yoga go hand in hand. It’s an opportunity to get away from the chaos of the city, unplug from my everyday routine, and turn my attention inward. The sunshine helps me get out of bed earlier. Yoga and tropical beach towns go hand in hand for me—and San Pancho, also known as San Francisco, is no exception. This small, sleepy town sits about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta and offers a condensed, far mellower version of nearby Sayulita.

In touristed towns like San Pancho or Sayulita, adding yoga classes to your visit is easy. With drop-in rates and flexible class packages, commitment is low and prices are noticeably lower than in the U.S. Most importantly, class fees include mats and props, so there’s no need to travel with your own mat.

Instructors teach classes in English and always offer modifications to suit your needs or how your body is feeling that day. While it’s wise to choose a class based on skill level when indicated, instructors are skilled at offering adjustments and meeting students where they are, regardless of experience.

While San Pancho is a popular destination for yoga retreats, only a handful of studios offer regular drop-in classes, all within easy walking distance and set in tranquil spaces.

• Address: Calle América Latina 32, 63729 San Francisco, Nay., Mexico
• Phone: +52 322 104 4161
• Website: elestar.org
• Instagram: @elestaryogasan

El Estar is a locally owned wellness studio offering a wide range of services. In addition to yoga styles like Hatha, Kundalini, Yin, Vinyasa, and Slow Vinyasa, they also host meditation, Aikido, Feldenkrais, Ecstatic Dance, sound baths, and breathwork. An extensive bodywork menu includes several massage styles, cupping, reiki, and a sweat lodge experience.

The space itself is unpretentious, inviting, and deeply tropical, with thatched-roof structures and lush plants growing from every corner of the property. There’s a comfortable sitting area to relax before or after class, as well as a small merchandise section featuring locally made beauty products and flowy clothing—perfect for a beach stay.

El Estar is located on América Latina, right next door to Pal.Mar Tropical Hotel. Centrally situated, it’s easily accessible from anywhere in town, and a five-minute walk will land you on the beach.

Hot Tip: For a strong and delicious Americano before or after class, stop by Prieta—just around the corner on Egipto.

Classes take place in a large, high-ceilinged, screened palapa.It was still dark when class began, so I practiced to the sound of roosters calling as the sun rose, emerging afterward to see the property fully illuminated by daylight.

A dedicated altar sits at the front of the palapa—the sacred space we faced during practice. I love seeing altars in yoga studios; they serve as a gentle reminder that yoga is about far more than physical exercise. Despite the early hour, the humidity was palpable, and powerful overhead fans kept the space comfortable. Mats, blocks, bolsters, and blankets were neatly organized at the back of the room.

The drop-in rate at El Estar is 200 MXN pesos (just under $12 USD). Class packages are also available: five classes for 900 MXN or ten classes for 1,500 MXN. Payment is cash only, and all mats and props are included. They offer several meditation sessions each week on a donation basis.

While each instructor brings their own style, the Vinyasa class I took with Yvonne was challenging yet accessible. Grounded in breathwork, the slow and intentional pace was a welcome challenge. She offered hands-on assistance for those who wanted it and suggested individualized modifications, meeting each student at their ability. Her cues were clear and encouraging, nudging us toward our edge without ever feeling pushy or judgmental.

El Estar does not support online booking for yoga classes, but reserving a spot isn’t necessary. The palapa comfortably accommodates about 20 students, so unless you’re arriving with a group, dropping in without notice is perfectly fine.

• Instagram: @alinea.sanpancho

Alinea is a full-service wellness center offering yoga classes in a wide range of styles, along with massage, energy work, physiotherapy, ice baths, and special events. Yoga offerings include Hatha, Vinyasa, Slow Vinyasa, Power Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, and Pilates. Specialty classes—such as breathwork, Kirtan, meditation, and ice-bath experiences—are also available, sometimes at different drop-in rates.

Upon entering the property, you’ll find a café and coworking space to the left, with the class spaces located toward the back.

Alinea is located on Egipto, just around the corner from El Estar. Its central location makes fitting in a class or wellness service during your stay incredibly easy.Hot Tip: Cross the street to Prieta for my favorite Americano of the entire trip. I know I won’t shut up about this place—but I truly wish I’d gone there on day one.

Classes meet in a long, screened-in structure at the rear of the property.

 Overhead fans keep the space breezy, and mats, blocks, and blankets are available near the sliding-door entry.

Drop-in classes at Alinea cost 250 MXN pesos. Class packages are also available: five classes for 1,100 MXN or ten classes for 2,000 MXN. Mats and props are included.

Teaching styles vary by instructor, but the Vinyasa class I took with Vicky was intuitive and thoughtfully paced. After gauging the experience level of the group, she gently increased the intensity. She taught in both English and Spanish, cueing clearly and offering encouragement throughout.

After grounding the class with breathwork and gentle stretching, we moved into more challenging postures. The practice put my balance to the test. Vicky was kind, humorous, and skilled at recognizing each student’s physical limits—encouraging us to explore just a bit deeper without pushing too far.

Booking yoga classes ahead of time isn’t necessary. The space comfortably holds about 15 students, and I was one of just three attendees in a Sunday morning class during peak travel season. For other services like massages, ice baths, or special events, booking ahead is recommended.

Pal.Mar Tropical Hotel is not a yoga studio, but they host a weekly yoga class on their rooftop palapa every Friday at 10 a.m. This beautiful perch overlooks América Latina and has mats and blocks available for use.

For hotel guests, the palapa is always open and also features hammocks and a small lending library. The weekly yoga class costs 200 MXN pesos and is open to the public.

If you’re seeking a more immersive yoga experience, a retreat may be a better option. With lodging, meals, and classes handled for you on a structured schedule, retreats are ideal for those who prefer a more hands-off approach to planning.

• Tailwind Jungle Lodge – Surf & Yoga Retreat (April 7- 12, 2026)
  
• Revitalize – Wellness Weekend (April 23-26, 2026)

San Pancho is small, so no matter where you stay, you’ll be close to the yoga studios mentioned above. That said, a few accommodations are especially convenient if you want your commute to class to be extra easy.

To be transparent, I only stayed at Pal.Mar during this visit, but I’m including additional nearby hotels I’d love to try in the future—based on research, walking the grounds, and plenty of daydreaming during daily strolls.

Pal.Mar Tropical Hotel ($–$$; doubles start around $100/night) offers, in my opinion, the ultimate access to yoga. In addition to rooftop yoga on Friday mornings and mats and blocks available at all times for guests, it’s literally next door to El Estar, with Alinea just a two-minute walk away.

I stayed here with my husband for five nights and was completely smitten. Opened in the last few years, the hotel offers modern comforts like air conditioning and high-speed Wi-Fi, alongside a thoughtful commitment to sustainability—including in-room filtered water taps and composting and recycling in the kitchenette. This stunning boutique hotel has just 15 uniquely designed rooms, each with handmade Mexican décor and a private balcony or patio.

(For more details, see my full review of Pal.Mar Tropical Hotel.)

• Hotel Cielo Rojo ($–$$; from $85/night): Gorgeous open-air boutique hotel with nine rooms and an on-site organic bistro. Pet-friendly.
  
• Agua de Luna ($$–$$$; from $150/night): Adults-only boutique hotel with 15 unique rooms, a rooftop oasis, and attached café Amar y Ya.
  
• Marii Hotel Boutique ($$–$$$; from $150/night): Beautiful eight-room sustainable hotel with private patios and an on-site restaurant, Café Floresta.
  

El Estar and Alinea are both excellent options for continuing your yoga practice while visiting San Pancho. Rooted in whole-person wellness, these classes were a welcome reminder to think about movement far beyond the basics of “exercise.”

If you’re looking for hustle-culture, corporate “workout” yoga, these studios may not be for you. But if you’re hoping to move mindfully, challenge your strength and balance, and connect more deeply with yourself—while still working up a sweat—San Pancho offers some truly special options.

Sayulita is just a five-minute drive south of San Pancho and offers even more yoga studios and retreat centers. Like San Pancho, it’s a popular retreat destination but also home to several studios offering drop-in classes. It’s a quick 5 minute drive south by car or taxi, and buses are always an option too

• Rose Room Yoga (inside Don Bonito Hotel)
  
• Yoga at Hotelito Los Sueños
  
• Alchemize House
  

For a deeper dive, check out my full review of yoga in Sayulita, where I outline how I created my own personal yoga retreat—at a fraction of the cost—while keeping full control over my schedule, meals, and accommodations (and without sharing a room with a stranger).

Key Takeaways

• Designing your own retreat for yoga in Sayulita offers flexibility compared to expensive packages.
• Three recommended studios include The Rose Room Yoga, Hotelito Los Suenos, and Alchemize House, each with unique atmospheres.
• Classes are affordable and offer various styles, catering to different skill levels and preferences.
• Sayulita is a charming, safe destination, ideal for anyone looking to integrate yoga into their vacation.

It had been over 10 years since I had lodged on the North side of Sayulita (on the opposite side of The Bridge from downtown), so it was a happy accident that the 3 places I ended up going to for yoga were all located on the north side as well. 

Sayulita is a small town, but I was pleased nonetheless with the convenience of everything being so close to where I was staying.

The Rose Room Yoga, Yoga at Hotelito Los Suenos, and Alchemize House all had an online presence and I was able to view their websites, schedules and Instagrams before arriving.  I had been concerned about packing my yoga mat with me so was elated to learn that all the places offered mats with their class price.  

Rose Room Yoga (Rooftop of Don Bonito Hotel)

Address: 29 Palmar, Sayulita, Mexico

The Don Bonito Hotel is a modern and minimalist hotel, striking with its white and black decor and expertly lit thriving, tropical plants. It has a chic coffee shop on the street level and a small pool in the interior courtyard.  If a hotel can be sexy, this hotel absolutely was, at least from what I could tell walking through the areas open to the public.

The rooftop yoga space is two floors up a steep set of stairs from the coffee shop. 

The stairs gave way to a large, airy space with high ceilings complete with fans for the warmer months.  In one corner the mats, blocks, straps, bolsters and blankets can be found in tall built-in, and there is a bench and hanging hooks for personal items in the back corner. 

On the Sunday morning that I attended my first class, I was impressed at the turnout of just over 20 students.  Although we had to scoot a bit to make room for additional straggling latecomers, it was nothing like the pervasive cramming that is normalized at some of the more corporate studios in the States. Nothing takes me out of my zen faster than having to shimmy up or down my mat to negotiate space to spread my wings or getting a faceful of Stranger Butt as I attempt my wide legged fold. 

From the 3rd floor the vantage point was high up in the palm trees and you had the feeling of practicing from a tree house. And as it was overcast that first day, I had not noticed the ocean beyond the trees and was struck with a sense of awe when the instructor reminded us to breath and look out onto the ocean.

My eyes flicked up and I exhaled, filling with joy and gratitude that I had made it down here, getting to move my body and seeing the ocean just a block away.  I was invigorated, surrounded by the palm trees and reveling in the din of street noise and rooster calls in true Sayulita fashion.

Although the schedule may change throughout the year, during my January visit they offered classes 7 days a week, and 3 to 4 classes a day Monday through Friday. 

Most classes were varying degrees of Vinyasa during the day and restorative classes were offered in the evenings, and Saturdays at noon were to a live DJ set.  I liked the the instructors at Rose Room, and was especially impressed with Audra whose descriptive language and hands-on adjustments helped make small tweaks to my form that improved my practice and leveled up my bodily awareness. 

Classes can be purchased as single class drop ins (~$14 usd), packs of 5, 10, 20, or as weekly or monthly passes, multi-month or annual membership.  They also offer teacher training, as well as private events.  While classes can be purchased in person with pesos at a slight discount, you can also pay by credit card and purchase prior to arriving- you’ll just let them know the Confirmed Order number when you check in. Classes are taught in English, and they were very responsive to their email for any questions.

Yoga at Hotelito Los Suenos (Rooftop Palapas of Hotelito Los Suenos)

Address: Calle Rosalio Tapia No. 10, Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico

Of all the places in Sayulita, Hotelito Los Suenos would be considered the town’s yoga resort. The grounds of the Hotelito was breathtaking and I could not wait to take a class under its rooftop palapa. 

The hotel itself is a sprawling Spanish style stucco structure with 3 levels and wide, winding stairs.  It houses two seperate dipping pools and like much of Sayulita, is laden with lush tropical gardens and open air courtyards that give it a refreshing and almost romantic feel.  

Classes could be purchased at reception with a discount offered for those paying in pesos, and like the Rose Room could be purchased by single drop in (~$10 usd cash, ~$12 credit card), as well as 5, 10 and 20 packs, as well as weekly and monthly unlimited passes and the occasional yoga retreat. 

The hotel also offered 50% discounts on classes for guest of the hotel, as well as a free class for guests staying 5 nights or more. 

Another perk was adding on their buffet breakfast for another 100 pesos (~$5 usd). 

The breakfast was delicious and well-known in Sayulita so I was excited to be able to saunter over after my sweaty class and take in the stunning surroundings of the hotel and enjoy my tasty meal from their rooftop dining area just across the walkway from their yoga palapas.  

Several classes were taught every weekday and limited classes on the weekends.  Like Rose Room, their evening classes were restorative while the morning and afternoon classses tended to be Vinyasa and Hatha styles with a few morning meditations mixed in.  MyYin class taught by Enrique (Henry on the schedule-@Ohmhenryoga on Instagram) in their larger palapa. 

I found myself at a huge rooftop space with a high thatched roof and long white decorative curtains. 

Enrique, accompanied by his three lovely pups (cleary staples at these classes as regulars seemed well acquainted with these cuties!) had stations set up along the wall complete with mats, straps, bolsters, blanket and blocks for students as we would be doing mostly restorative utilizing the wall for hip opening. 

He had his spot staked out with his collection of incense, stones and statues and I was very excited to have him instruct as I could tell he would teach with heart and from a fountain of experience.  Despite the intense hip opening, the class was soothing and I was thankful for such a beautiful space to practice in and I slept deeply that night. 

Although our class that evening was fewer than 10 students, the space was so large that it could have easily entertained 30 or 40 students comfortably and based on some Instagram posts it seems it can get pretty packed during some classes.  

A few days later, I came for a morning class and I had not realized there was more than one yoga space.  Although I was disappointed not be practicing in the larger space as I had wanted to see the view of the ocean from the mat if there was one, I quite enjoyed the smaller palapa despite its much lower roof. 

As the original teacher had called out sick, Enrique was standing in and I got to experience the vinyasa side of him and was impressed at the challenging and sweaty flow he produced.  

Alchemize House 

Address: C. Miramar 13, Plaza Nawalli, Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico

Alchemize House is a small Community Wellness Club specializing in contrast therapy.   They offer a cold plunge, normal temp pool, a sauna, a small lounge/work space and a rooftop area for yoga and pilates. 

The price of each class includes 30 minutes of use of the contrast therapy elements after the class (~$13 usd), but hour passes or day passes can also be purchased separately. 

The space for yoga was more snug than the other locations I had visited, and even with fewer than 10 students we were having to stagger on our mats as not to touch our neighbors too intimately.  Like the other locations I visited, mats, straps and blocks were provided.

Unlike The Rose Room and Hotelito Los Suenos which were on side streets, Alchemize house was an a bit of a busier street so there was a bit more noise even on the rooftop.

 

After changing into my swim suit I took a quick cleansing shower in the outdoor shower and made my way into the sauna. 

The sauna had two tiers and could comfortably accommodate 10 and basically all of us from the yoga class were crammed in there. 

The heat felt good as it was unseasonably cold for Sayulita that day. Although I had envisioned a day spent doing the hot/cold sessions for hours on end, I realized its just not my thing.  The  pool was a cool 45-50 ℉, and I watched in awe as other guests managed to stay submerged for 2 minutes, the minimum amount of time for the cold plunge to have its positive effects on the nervous system. 

Final Thoughts

For such a small town, Sayulita’s yoga offerings are quite impressive. For anyone looking for an opportunity to squeeze in some yoga classes during a sunny stay, Sayulita is a fantastic option.

While it was not a Sayulita yoga retreat per se, with enough dedication it is completely possible to create your own version of a yoga-intensive by cobbling together a full schedule of classes from the various yoga studios in town.

The safety, walkability and charm of this surf town make Sayulita a perfect yoga destination for the avid Yogi or just someone that likes to dabble once in a while.
