Oaxaca is known for its culture, mezcal and mountains. It is also a place where ancestral and contemporary healing practices meet.

Oaxaca City

The city itself has yoga studios, temazcal (sweat lodge) spaces and small healing centers. Sound is often part of ceremonies and group work.

  • Studios in the centro histórico offering yoga + occasional sound baths.
  • Temazcal houses that incorporate chants and instruments.
  • Community spaces mixing art, music and spiritual work.

Surrounding valleys

San José del Pacífico & Sierra Sur

Mountain villages like San José del Pacífico host retreats and ceremonies. The forest and altitude create a very different atmosphere from the city.

Valle de Etla, Tlacolula, Mitla

Outside the city you will find small projects in the valleys: eco-spaces, permaculture projects and retreat centers that sometimes offer sound work alongside other modalities.

Sound healing here

In Oaxaca, sound healing is often integrated into other formats rather than a separate product.

  • Integral retreats that include sound journeys.
  • Temazcal followed by rest and sound.
  • Occasional standalone sound baths in the city.
