Man y airlines fly into Los Cabos (Cabos San Lucas). It’s a 2 hr drive to Ba ja Serenity. \nOur local participants tend to choose Southwest\, Alaska Ai r or Volaris as they offer flights from Oakland and San Francisco to Los C abos. \nOnce you arrive\, travel from the airport is straightforward.  We will arrange group transportation.  Or\, if you are staying longer or co ming early\, you can rent a car. \nIf you do want to rent a car\, we can a ssist with options prior to your arrival. This option will give you more f reedom to drive around and explore the surroundings. Baja Serenity recomme nds BBB Car Rental in Los Cabos. \nWhen considering your travel arrangemen ts\, we start on Saturday @ 2 pm and end on Friday @ 11 am. \n  \n  \nLE T’S GO!\n\n \n\nYOUR INSTRUCTOR & GROUP LEADER\n \n\nHeather Haxo Philli ps (she/her) is Director of Adeline Yoga and a senior certified Iyengar y oga instructor at Level 3. \nHer additional certifications include: Certif ied Yoga Therapist (c-IAYT)\, Relax and Renew restorative yoga teacher and Yoga Alliance E-500 level instructor.
