Reset and Rise.
Five nights on sacred coastline. Daily breathwork, movement, yoga, horses on the beach at sunrise, fire under the stars. Led by Daniel Silva and Kata Bilanchone — 20+ years of practice, zero pretense.
Not a vacation.
Not a workshop.
A reset.
Mizata by Antiresort sits on three acres of Pacific coastline in El Salvador — thatched tree houses over the jungle, an infinity pool above the waves, two open-air yoga shalas with nothing but ocean in front of you.
This is where Daniel Silva and Kata Bilanchone are bringing O2Flo in March 2027. Twelve people. Five full days. Breathwork and movement every morning, yoga in the oceanfront shala, cold plunge, horses on the beach, fire, and a waterfall excursion. The kind of week that rewires you at the nervous system level — not just the mindset level.
This is what Mizata looks like.

Mizata by Antiresort —
the anti-resort.
Nestled on the shores of Playa Mizata, this property sits on sacred land once home to the Náhuat people and a colonial fishing village. Three acres of Pacific oceanfront. Tree houses in the jungle canopy. Two open-air yoga shalas overlooking the surf.
Since 2017, Mizata has hosted transformative retreats for healers, athletes, and communities seeking something the standard resort can't offer. It's been recognized as one of the New York Times' 52 Places to Go in 2024, featured in Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and National Geographic Traveler. The property earns those mentions by being the real thing.
El Salvador is one of the safest countries in Central America, with direct U.S. flights of 2–5 hours. March brings dry-season sunshine and perfect Pacific conditions.
Everything on three
oceanfront acres.

Your meal plan covers two meals per day for the first four days, plus a fruit and juice breakfast on departure morning.
Ishwi Omakase

actually looks like.

El Salvador Day

Integration & Departure
Final breathwork session — typically the most powerful of the week. Closing movement practice. Fruit and juice bar breakfast. Group reflection and closing circle. Airport shuttles depart. You leave with something different in your nervous system than what you arrived with.

else is handled.

Common questions.
Do I need prior breathwork experience?
None whatsoever. Sessions are designed to meet you exactly where you are. First-timers often have the deepest breakthroughs because there's nothing to unlearn. If you can breathe, you're qualified.
What airport do I fly into?
San Salvador International Airport — SAL, also known as Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International. Group shuttle transfers are included. You'll coordinate your arrival time with us after booking to ensure everyone travels together on the Mizata shuttle.
I'm traveling solo — is that common?
Very common. Solo travelers are welcome and this is exactly the kind of group retreat where you connect with 11 other people who chose to show up for the same week. All rooms are configured with king beds — they cannot be separated into two singles.
What's the room selection process?
Rooms are first-come, first-served. When you secure your spot, you choose from what's still available. The four room types range from Beach Tree Houses (ocean views, elevated) to Jungle Bungalows (more private, garden-facing). All share the same Mizata amenities.
What meals are provided?
Two meals per day through the Nawi Beach House for the first four days of the retreat. On departure morning, a fruit and juice bar breakfast is included. The menu is organic, locally sourced, with vegan, gluten-free, and paleo options. Any dietary restrictions are handled in advance by the retreat management team.
Is El Salvador safe to travel to?
El Salvador has undergone one of the most dramatic safety transformations in the region since 2022 — it's now recognized as one of the safest countries in Central America. Mizata's own property is private, gated, and staffed around the clock. The retreat management team handles all ground transportation, so you're never navigating independently unless you choose to.
What's not included in the retreat price?
International flights, travel insurance, alcoholic beverages, and personal purchases during excursions are not included. All experiences, meals, transfers, and lodging listed on this page are covered. Optional add-ons like Ishwi Omakase, Thrivelab Clinic, massages, and additional excursions are available at an extra cost.
How many spots are there?
12. Hard cap. The property and the experience are designed for a group this size — it allows real connection and genuine practice without a crowd. When those 12 spots fill, they're gone. There's no waitlist.
Go deeper if you
want to.
