about the soulful solo
the soulful solo was born in 2025 as a place for women of all ages to arrive and exhale. if you're looking for luxury villas and the perfect instagram dump, you won't find it here. what you will find is authenticity, connection, culture and calm. what began as small local events has grown into a vibrant community - opening our doors every month for retreats alongside maintaining a full event and class calendar. in our first year, we welcomed dozens of wonderful women, all gathering as one to share nourishing meals, move with intention and discover the vibrant spirit of a sleepy mexican town known for its warmth and charm.
our small group retreats are intentionally designed to be a space where you can rest deeply, explore freely and simply exist - embracing whatever it is that retreating and travel means to you. whether you're looking to deepen your practice, reconnect with yourself, embark on your first solo journey, embrace the beauty of slow living, or just enjoy a well-deserved break away from the responsibilities of being a wife, mother, carer or matriarch - our retreats welcome you exactly as you are. bienvenida, amor.
about nicole
hi, i'm nicole!
yoga teacher, wellness facilitator, and founder of the soulful solo.
i found holistic wellness in 2022, while rebuilding my life after domestic violence, and recovering from C-PTSD and OCD. what started as a way to heal became a calling. i packed a bag and solo travelled across europe, south east asia and latin america, exploring movement, mindset and meditation wherever i landed, and learning that slowing down is where the magic happens.
in 2023 i completed my 200hr yoga teacher training in bali, and since then i've trained in yin yoga, astroyoga, somatic healing and cold water therapy (wim hof method). together they've shaped a way of teaching that's rooted in stillness and guided by the cosmos, with one big intention: helping you connect with your parasympathetic nervous system (the part of you that knows exactly when to rest).
along the way, the support and inspiration i found in others gave me the courage to start holding space for people seeking peace. that courage grew into the soulful solo, an inclusive wellness community that feels like a soft place to land.
i'm proud of how far i've come, from someone searching for peace to someone who gets to create it for others. my retreats in bacalar are where everything i've learned comes together: yoga, breathwork, cold water and long lagoon days, all at your own pace. my hope is that you leave feeling lighter, more fulfilled, and ready to meet whatever everyday life brings.
whether you're navigating change, searching for more, or simply craving rest, there's a place for you here. i'm so excited to keep welcoming you on your journey, wherever it's taking you next.
