reWILD Adventure Yoga Retreat: September 8-14, 2024
Go WILD during Meghan Khanna’s reWILD retreat at Sansara Resort in Cambutal, Panama, tucked into a pocket of luxury where the mountains meet the sea, and the vibe is barefoot Hawaii meets Wild West.
More than a hall pass from your day-to-day, this retreat is your permission slip to redefine and reinvigorate your daily life.
Explore this natural playground, from the black sand beaches and empty surf breaks to the yoga shala (voted one of the world’s best by Architectural Digest) where Meghan will lead a blend of practices to bend both your mind and body. Exfoliate layers of limiting patterns; meditate at sunrise, then plunge yourself into the Pacific, just steps from your room; reveal your native spark. Lose yourself among whales and waterfalls, and find yourself within playful yoga flows and transformative breathwork journeys. Surf your heart and soul out. Emerge reconnected to what is most sacred to you.
Nature and travel are incredible disruptors and portals for change. We’ll use the energy and intelligence of novelty and nature to let daily yoga, breathwork and meditation work their magic with extra potency.
September in Cambutal is whale and waterfall season, and our adventure day will take us by boat along one of the most remote coastlines of Central America to Cerro Hoya National Park, where we’ll explore wild beaches with sea caves and tide pools, have lunch, and hike upriver in the jungle to play in a nearby waterfall and freshwater pool. Keep your eyes open for whales and sea turtles along the way!
Fuel yourself farm-to-table style at Sansara
The food you eat impacts your energy and your mindset, and you’ll charge your body at Sansara with food that is not only delicious but clean, supportive of local farmers and fishermen, prepared with intention and creativity, and served with love.

Meet your host-
Meghan Khanna
Yoga and meditation teacher, breathwork facilitator, mindfulness and performance coach, lawyer and founder of UNWIND
I followed a good-on-paper, 4.0, type A, safe and proven path to working as a finance lawyer - all documents and deal flows, rather than vinyasa flows. I retired from lawyering to full-time parenting with pretty much the same perfectionist and systematic mindset, until life events and the four gorgeous humans in my care began to show me that I could be different, more open and allowing, authentic and accepting. Yoga was there just in time to encourarage all of the above, along with meditation, then breathwork and all things related to wellness and performance.
So I consumed, then practiced, then studied, and taught and created, using all the practices I’d gathered. When I faced cancer, divorce, losing my darling dad and launching my young adult children, I was my own first client. Midlife is transformative for many of us, and I gave myself a long leash to learn and study, to support myself and expand my vision and potential by diving deeper into practices I knew, and researching and experimenting with new ones. When I wanted to flex my agentic muscles again, I reached for my professional past and pulled intellectual rigor, strategies and systems forward to scaffold the mindful, creative spark I’ve uncovered more recently.
And this is how UNWIND was born. Working in this space where the science and systems of human performance meet the art and spirit of mindfulness and movement has fascinated me and supported every facet of my well-being, and I cannot wait to share the synergy with you.
Surfing is the name of the game at Sansara - a saltwater gospel
Sansara is a surfer’s dream, with easy access to barreling beach breaks, rocky point breaks, slabby reefs, talented instructors and guides, and a diverse quiver of boards on site.
Ride the water and let the movement rock your muscles and settle into your bones, Try to take control and let nature take its course. Stand yourself up, and surrender into the flow. Look at the land you walk on from a different angle, and trust the forces that move underneath you. Trust yourself to handle the thrill of the ride, and also the messiness - the tangled hair and water up your nose when your ambition takes you past your edge and the waves catch you when you fall.
