LB ACTIVATION SAYULITA ESSENTIALS & TIPS

Activation RetreatLB IRL
Written By Katie Kempf

We’re headed to Sayulita Mexico! The weather will be beautiful. You can expect it to be warm and sunny during the day and a little chilly at night. We’ll be exploring the countryside and working out in the yoga pavilion, on the beach, in the pool, and heading out on the road (like, hiking and walking to the beach).

I tend to pack light and re-use outfits whenever I can.

Our Activation workouts are hybrid (think: half pool and half studio), so you’ll want supportive bathing suit tops and items that you don’t mind getting dirty on the beach.

I’m beyond excited that we’ll be able to explore Sayulita! Haramara is a fifteen minute walk/short cab ride into town where there are plenty of places to eat and exlore!

Activation Essentials:

  • 1-2 regular bras

  • 3-5 sports bras

  • 1-2 pair of long pants

  • 2-3 casual outfits for dinner at the hotel or going into town.

  • A HAT for beach/pool workouts

  • Sunscreen

  • A packable beach bag (We received feedback that a backpack is optimal for when you have to run/walk back from the beach)

  • Reusable water bottle 

  • Some cash – You can pay with a card at our hotel, but if you want to buy something in town, some places are cash only

  • Personal First Aid Kit (Bandaids, Knee/ankle braces if you use them for exercise, etc.)

  • Probiotics/Immune Boosting Supplements

What you don´t need:

LB Activation Tips:

  • Don't over-pack, you'll be living in your swimsuit + workout gear.

  • Consider taking Probiotics. Taking probiotics leading up to and throughout the trip may help you combat any digestive issues or upset stomachs that tend to be pretty common when traveling outside of the country. 

  • Please bring your own personal first aid kit.  You may need something for pain, sore muscles (clear-colored tiger balm), cramps, allergies/sinus, PMS, upset stomach, ear plugs, band-aids, Dramamine, sea bands, zinc, after sun balm, or any medications that you take on a regular basis.  If you have ankle or knee issues, don't forget your brace.
