Gabi Johnson

Breathe, move, and find your footing

Mexico Paa Mul paid

Movement, breath and quiet reflection are the heart of Gabi Johnson’s retreats at Copal Retreat, where the aim is to help guests feel more grounded and clear-headed as they return to everyday life. The program brings together yoga, meditation, breathwork and intentional experiences for people who feel stressed, disconnected or out of balance. Practice takes place in open-air areas surrounded by nature, with a pool and shared outdoor spaces for downtime. The setting also gives guests access to nature and the beach, while fresh, whole-ingredient meals draw on local flavors and are designed to feel sustaining rather than heavy. Comfortable on-site accommodation makes it possible to settle into the retreat rhythm without leaving the grounds. The emphasis is on reconnecting with the body and building confidence through mindful movement, one breath at a time. Retreat dates and daily structure vary, so check with Gabi Johnson before planning your stay.
