00:00Bordered by the azure waters of the Pacific coast of Mexico, Puerto Vallarta and its vibrant
00:13streets are populated by a constant effervescence that attracts the eyes of the whole world.
00:24But far from the bustle and the sea monsters, an oasis of well-being awaits those who are
00:29ready to sail beyond the sparkling bay.
00:38Ana Paula is Mexican, I'm French and we are known here in Mexico.
00:42We asked ourselves what to do with our lives.
00:44We both wanted to live on the beach, we wanted to be in the heat, to have our own business,
01:00to be independent.
01:01At that time we were young, we could do what we wanted.
01:05And we started to sell the idea of making a different place in Mexico, to get out of this
01:19stereotype that many foreigners from Mexico had.
01:22We saw a lot of resorts that were planned with goudron and concrete everywhere.
01:31We made tabula rasa of what exists, of the richness of the local environment.
01:35And we wanted to do exactly the same thing, we wanted to make nature as it is.
01:39We began to find a place in the nature, apart from all the civilization, to highlight the
01:53beauty of the natural coasts that the coasts of Mexico have.
01:55It is not only the sea, but the mountains, the sea, and all the people who live on the coasts.
02:02They were born in Mexico.
02:16In the city of Mexico.
02:29I'll see you next time.
02:59We had lived some incredible things on the trip to NOS.
03:21We went to Costa Rica.
03:23In Costa Rica, we saw that many small hotels were created
03:27and we realized that there was something called yoga retreats
03:35with the concept of wellness and ecotourism.
03:38So the value of natural resources, biodiversity, local culture, local gastronomy.
03:45It inspired us a lot.
03:48We also wanted to join this Mexican natural part
03:56by creating a retreat center, a kind of sanctuary
04:00for the mind and for the soul,
04:02a place of healing,
04:04to regenerate, to connect with the roots,
04:08to return to the basic.
04:10It is in this preserved wild nature that Anna Paula and Jean-Baptiste
04:23found their natural sanctuary of well-being.
04:27Here, the pleasant fragrances of the jungle mingle with the caresses of the ocean,
04:33in a symphony of colors that stimulate the senses and soothe the soul.
04:37It is in this preserved wild nature that Anna Paula and Jean-Baptiste
04:40found their natural sanctuary of well-being.
04:42Here, the pleasant fragrances of the jungle mingle with the caresses of the ocean,
04:48in a symphony of colors that stimulate the senses and soothe the soul.
05:03Nestled between a lush green landscape and the navy blue sea,
05:07this haven is accessible only by boat,
05:10offering a travel experience in and of itself.
05:13When you arrive at the beach, you arrive at the beach,
05:20it is to understand that the joke here is
05:25to remove your daily routine, to remove all the stresses
05:29and to live a new experience, to open up to discover,
05:33to meet again with your person.
05:36Who am I? Who am I?
05:38Can I be alone a week in the wilderness?
05:41There are many questions and things.
05:44It is also an adventure in the interior.
05:58Right now, we are going to see Malena at 18 p.m.
06:01and we are going to the Ekochik.
06:04I don't think it is necessary.
06:06Yes.
06:08Hello, Hatsiri. How are you?
06:10How are you?
06:11How are you?
06:12How are you?
06:13How are you?
06:16Shinalan is a family project.
06:19It started with seeds from many people.
06:22A seeds from France, who is my husband,
06:25who brings all this part of the business culture,
06:28and commerce culture.
06:29Then my dad is an architect, artist,
06:32who is a native entrepreneur.
06:34My mom, who loves all the design and architecture.
06:39I also came as an entrepreneur part.
06:42And these seeds, or the first seeds,
06:44have been fruit and spread
06:47in the entire community around us.
06:50The architecture of these sumptuous palm leaf roof villas
07:06seems carved into the side of the mountain.
07:11They were designed by Anna Paola's father
07:13with simplicity as a guideline,
07:15to elegantly honor the abundance of the natural environment.
07:22After many years and months,
07:24I finally reached this place.
07:26I couldn't believe it was available.
07:29I felt so excited because I couldn't believe it.
07:32On the one hand, it was beautiful.
07:36On the other hand,
07:37we had an end of the mountain,
07:40a lake,
07:41a natural sin destruirla.
07:43And then we decided to do it
07:46flying around,
07:47flying around,
07:48flying around,
07:49flying around,
07:50or something like that,
07:51to not to touch the earth,
07:52or any very little,
07:53to not to prevent the animal's passing
07:54and the water when it comes up,
07:55but to leave it as possible.
07:56All the boats,
07:57all the boats are on the shore,
07:59all the boats are on the shore,
08:00all the boats that are on the shore.
08:01The boats are on the shore,
08:02to take the shore,
08:03so they have all the privacy.
08:04It's seen everywhere, the sea, the sky, the forest.
08:08It's a very special place to be integrated in the nature.
08:12That people would feel different and open to everything that gives you yoga.
08:34Everyone thinks that I'm very relaxed here, but I tell them that Shinalani has made a lot of tears and a lot of blood.
08:52All my sweat, and here it is, impregnated.
08:56From the beginning, we were very involved.
08:59Jean-Baptiste and I were serving dishes, planting palm trees.
09:06We were involved in absolutely everything.
09:09So it's been a difficult path to learn.
09:14Because here there are no books of hotelier.
09:18Hello. How are you?
09:26Buen dia. How are you today?
09:28Sad to be leaving, but so good. It's just beautiful.
09:34Thank you. Thank you for being here. It was our pleasure.
09:38Have a safe flight home.
09:40All right.
09:42My name is Berenice.
09:44I have 11 years of work here in Shinalani.
09:47I started working on what's coming from a storehouse.
09:51Then I scaled to what's coming from a reception.
09:54I helped a little bit in the accountability.
09:57And now I'm the subgerent of operations of the Hotel Shinalani.
10:01Hello. How are you?
10:04Welcome.
10:05What a miracle.
10:07What a pleasure to see you.
10:09How are you doing?
10:11How are you doing?
10:12Yes.
10:13We all come out.
10:14All the staff, including those family members.
10:17We are a staff that has a lot of cheerfulness.
10:20There are clients comes a promotion.
10:23That are more than that, it's like an unforgettable friendship
10:27that we have for a long time.
10:29That can be an unforgettable friendship that you feel when you come to
10:34you.alnya gives an marry and your estate is.
10:38And Jerry is doing his classes, remember that he's from 8.30am to 10am in the pizarrón.
10:45When will it be?
10:46I already told her that we're going to program one for the lunes.
10:49Do you think?
10:50So we're going to organize the four.
10:51We're going to need two more.
10:53So we're going to be armed.
11:08For thousands of years, an ancestral ritual has been practiced at the heart of Mexican culture, the tamazcal.
11:23The shaman, guardian of the tradition, plays the drum and invokes the four elements.
11:40The sound resonates by vibrating to the rhythm of the heart and connects the spirits with those of nature.
11:53In a stone cocoon, the air is heated by incandescent volcanic rocks, creating an atmosphere of beneficial vapor, favoring purification and letting go.
12:23This inner journey, where time stands still, allows you to reconnect with Mother Earth and find inner harmony.
12:32During a stone cocoon, the air is in the air wherever it is compared to the spirit of the soul.
12:37The sound of the air is heated by pan Katy, which is a dream.
12:41In a stone cocoon is actually made with the soul & father.
12:43The soul is also made with the soul.
12:44In a stone cocoon is very comfortable, with the soul.
12:47In a stone cocoon is desolated by pan, which is a princess created by the queen of the tide of the valley.
12:49In a stone cocoon has been analyzed by the heart and the soul.
12:51A stone cocoon has been pronounced in the moon in the sky.
12:54This morning cocoon is met with the power of the earth.
12:57The spirit of the soul and the soul is in the soul.
12:59I'm going to be a little bit nervous.
13:01I'm going to be a little bit nervous.
13:03I'm going to be a little bit nervous.
13:05I'm going to be a little bit nervous.
13:07Alfa, Alfa, if you copy me,
13:09I'll wait for a briefing,
13:11please.
13:13I'm very much.
13:15Oscar, good morning.
13:17So these are the details
13:19that we have to pay attention.
13:21Every guest,
13:23even if it's not coming before 4,
13:25even if it's not coming,
13:27we can't leave it without eating.
13:29Absolutely, all the guests,
13:31they have the food included.
13:33So we can't fail.
13:35If the buffet is finished,
13:37we'll prepare something in this fresh.
13:39I talked to Ezequiel.
13:41He'll help Angel a load,
13:43because there's a lot of food.
13:45If there's no more,
13:47have a great day.
13:49Our Eucharist has finished.
13:53Good morning.
14:01Good morning.
14:02Good morning.
14:03Good morning.
14:05Good morning.
14:06Thank you, Justin.
14:07It was good morning.
14:09Yes, sir.
14:11Good morning.
14:12Yeah, thank you.
14:13Thank you, everyone.
14:15Good morning.
14:16Good morning.
14:18So very much.
14:20It's a great day.
14:22We have the great day!
14:23We are a good day.
14:24to come to work with us, we started to train them,
14:28and we started to form a team,
14:30which now, after 13 years,
14:32we have the family Shinalani family,
14:35because we have people from our staff
14:38who have 15, 12, 8 years,
14:42who have stayed with us, who have grown together.
14:46They have learned English,
14:48they have learned many different techniques in hospitalization.
14:52We have really this vision
14:54of working in the time,
14:56and that the new generation
14:58find a job here,
15:00and that people not only find a job here,
15:02but here,
15:04their daily routine
15:06and a certain stability of the job,
15:08a personal growth,
15:10an apprenticeship,
15:12and a certain well-being at work.
15:22And now,
15:24that's amazing.
15:26Now,
15:28you're like,
15:30you're very lucky.
15:32Good,
15:34you're welcome.
15:35You've spoken to me great.
15:36Yes.
15:38Now,
15:40you're very lucky.
15:42First project.
15:44First project.
15:46You're lucky.
16:18The idea of creating Shinalani is that if we're going to bring money from outside, we're going to collaborate not only with jobs,
16:47but also with something else.
16:49But something that has a sense, that has a purpose.
16:54It's really the essence of Shinalani, to be a social project that is involved in the local community.
17:02It also goes through the support of the village infrastructure.
17:07For example, there is a little bridge that crosses a river, so it's very rustic.
17:11So the bridge needs to improve.
17:13There needs to be a fund to maintain it.
17:15There needs to be a second one.
17:17There needs to improve the water system.
17:23The industry needs to be able to maintain the small school of the village, which is a public school,
17:36with very much need for financial and material support.
17:38So all this will go through the small foundation that we created.
18:08So all this will go through the small foundation that we created.
18:38So all this will go through the small foundation that we created.
19:08So all this will go through the small foundation that we created.
19:14So all this will go through the small foundation that we created.
19:20So all this will go through the small foundation that we created.
19:26So all this will go through the small foundation that we created.
19:32So all this will go through the small foundation that we created.
19:38On the beach adorned with tiki torches, Isabella carefully prepares the best corn tortillas by hand.
19:48The taco is to Mexico, what the crepe is to France.
19:56We often present it in the plural form as one taco by itself cannot satisfy the taste buds.
20:02These little culinary treasures, garnished with meat, vegetables and a variety of sauces, are bursting with
20:30flavor that can be enjoyed in a warm atmosphere punctuated by the sound of the waves.
20:37This is an example of a state of the area that we created.
20:39This is not a type of weather that can be used in a storm.
20:44To come to the lake is not easy, there are many animals, there are noises, sometimes people have a kind of shock,
21:01but it is also part of the idea and the project, it is to get out of your comfort zone,
21:07to face your limits and say no, I'm fine, to listen to the sea all the time,
21:17there are people who say, I can't sleep with the sea, because we are used to sleep with absolute silence,
21:24but little by little we see it in the faces and the people come and they are a little more tense,
21:33and every day they pass and suddenly they say, this is my house, I don't want to go,
21:38please accept me, I want to stay here to live, and you say, what incredible,
21:43the process that people live and how the nature really hits you and loves you in an unconscious way.
21:52Very good, so my name is Jerry, I'm a resident yoga teacher here at Shinalani, and also I teach the ice bath.
22:07Probably right now you are thinking that you are not going to make it, you are doubting about yourself,
22:12but once you do it, you feel that you can conquer the world, and that's an amazing feeling.
22:17Okay? Muy bien. Just relax your hands on your knees, spine straight.
22:24Now, inhale, exhale, one, two, three, inhale, exhale, four, five.
22:42It's an experience that in little time you can connect with the essence of the other person,
22:49because when we are inside the ice, we feel vulnerable, we feel like children,
22:55but when we go through that experience all together, I think that it connects us with the heart,
23:04because we are all there as a family, supporting us, giving us support,
23:10and together we reach that point, and then we feel powerful.
23:15We feel like we can do everything.
23:19Okay, ready?
23:21Okay, grab the bag, take a deep breath, one, two, three, thank you.
23:26Let's go.
23:28Let's go.
23:35Very good.
23:38Muchos de los huéspedes vienen buscando conectarse con ellos mismos,
23:40porque vienen de grandes ciudades, desde Los Angeles, Nueva York, Canada, Europa.
23:46So they come here, they relax, and it's magic.
23:50Many people connect, cry, cry, they come back to breathe.
23:56It's very nice to see their transformation.
24:02We are in nature.
24:04I think that reminds us of being alive,
24:08that we are here on this planet Earth,
24:10sharing with animals, with trees,
24:14and here I really feel embraced by Mother Earth,
24:18by the sea, by the mountains,
24:20and by all the inhabitants,
24:22with the animals and us.
24:44I don't think there is anything pure as being close to the natural elements.
24:50It's something that, as human beings,
24:52I feel that we've always been attracted to them
24:54for an intuitive reason.
24:56I don't think there is anything pure as being close to the natural elements.
25:02It's something that, as human beings,
25:06I feel that we've always been attracted to them
25:08for an intuitive reason.
25:12But when you are here for several days,
25:16and really,
25:18the nature has the power to return to the present,
25:22to return to a natural rhythm of calm,
25:24that we have all,
25:26and that we forget when we are in the
25:28of the waves of the big waves,
25:30of everything you have to do,
25:32everything you have to win,
25:34everything you have to give to others.
25:36Here you arrive,
25:38and automatically the nature
25:40forces you to lower your rhythm,
25:42and suddenly you realize
25:44that living is to be here,
25:46right now.
25:47To stay present,
25:48to stay with a calm rhythm,
25:50and enjoy life.
25:54Right now.
