Finally, our cherry on the cake is the opportunity to enjoy the practice in different locations; classes will be taught in outdoor yoga decks in the jungle and in other unique locations: the magical Mayan cenotes.

Destination


Ancient Mayan ruins, crystal-clear cenotes and relaxing beaches draw people from around the world to Tulum a small town on Mexico’s Caribbean coast that offers the perfect combination of  relaxation, tranquility and seclusion, whilst you can still  fill your day with the many interesting and exciting activities available  in the area.  Tulum is located 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of Cancun and 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Playa del Carmen.

Included excursion

 Tour of Valladolid


This tour will include the transfer to a Mexican Hacienda. This site has a beautiful cenote, a sinkhole filled with turquoise water where our yoga class will take place, a mesmerizing setting where you will be surrounded by the unique beauty of these caverns filled with stalactites and stalagmites. After the class you will have lunch and to follow, the visit of the colonial city of Valladolid. The city was funded in the 16th century by the Spanish and it is a hidden gem located in the Yucatan jungle, off the beaten tourist path and it offers a unique opportunity to discover authentic Mayan culture and history.

About your instructors

DANIELA OSPINA



Born in Bogota Colombia, she starts studying Classic Ballet at the age of 6; she continues as professional ballerina till the age of 21, whilst getting closer and closer to contemporary dance. 

Graduated in literature studies at the Pontificia Javeriana University, she  moves to Mexico where she studies at the Mazatlan Professional Dance School with a specialization in contemporary dance.

Arriving in  Mexico City, she starts to expand her interests into different type of moves, aiming to find the connection between the body in its current form with the spirit. Exploring also martial arts and Capoeira, she finally approaches Yoga, finding the right place  where the body is seen in a more holistic and inclusive form and where each human being strives to develop a way to become a better self.

She continue her yoga studies with Karunamayi Dasi in 2010 and with Leonardo Estrada Mendez in 2011.

In 2016, she becomes an Ashtanga, Vinyasa and  Hatha yoga teacher within the Mexican Foundation of Universal Yoga in Mexico City.

Finally she moves to Tulum Quintana Roo to be a Yoga master and running the Alraun Dance Company.


AUDRA PATTERSON


Audra discovered yoga in 1999 in a small studio in Madison Wisconsin USA and immediately fell in love with yoga. She would go to class and learn the sequence and practice at home the other days of the week. In 2002, she moved to Mexico City to study dance and get a master’s degree in Ecological Restoration in the National Autonomous University of Mexico.  After 10 years of consistent practice of yoga and dance, she decided to get study a Yoga Teacher Training in ashtanga vinyasa yoga, and found her life’s passion. She quickly went on to study a 300 hour certification and taught as many classes as she possibly could. In 2014, Audra moved to Tulum, took another 200 hour certification with Yoga Alliance and assisted multiple teacher trainings in that studio. She went on to teach multiple teacher trainings and retreats as well as classes and workshops for all levels of experience and ability. She has now taught over 7000 hours of classes and is finishing a 300 hour course on biomechanics and yoga with Jules Mitchell. She primarily teaches creative vinyasa, restorative, slow flow, and focuses on body awareness, presence, expansion, and creativity, and can adapt to any level of practice or ability.

This was an absolutely beautiful retreat. Lucia and Elena were the sweetest guides and yoga with Audra was absolutely amazing. Everything was curated for a very intimate, non-touristy experience that really allowed us to escape from the chaos of the world and fully immerse ourselves in the retreat. The activities chosen were a perfect match for the vibe of the trip. The resort was beautiful- definitely spend the money on the upgraded ocean front room, it was worth every penny. Juan, one of the staff members at the hotel took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed while at the resort. The food was super fresh and healthy- everything was absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend this retreat!

Enjoyed every minute of this retreat! Our hostesses Elena and Lucia made sure everything was perfect and made us feel very welcome. The resort was an absolutely idyllic place right on the beach surrounded by jungle. Our yoga instructor, Audra, always seemed to know exactly what we needed in each practice and made each session meaningful. The food was incredibly good - I don’t think I’ve ever had fruit that delicious anywhere and the meals were healthy and delicious and so fresh. The staff of the hotel was very helpful and welcoming. The cenotes were breathtaking and provided a gorgeous spot to practice yoga and swim. Can’t wait to book my next retreat with Mudra!

My Love letter to Mudra... I just returned from the April 17th-21st retreat in Tulum, and I am basking in the afterglow. An immense thank you to Lucia, Elena, Audra, & Roberto....the whole Mudra team, for cultivating such a magical, spiritual, and life changing experience. It is difficult to convey into words the gift they give by sharing with you what they feel in this very special place. Thank you for the shift in perspective and thank you for the healing. The yoga practices lead by Audra in the Cenotes were magical. The private time in the cenote Chukum, with the cacao ceremony and sound bath, followed by the private time to swim and cleanse my soul in the sacred waters was particularly powerful. I felt very connected with the divine universe. What an absolutely unique experience that has changed me forever and I will never forget it. Whether you are looking for a healing experience, (as I was), or you are just looking for a well cultivated, unique, one-of-a-kind experience that will feed your soul...THIS IS FOR YOU:)! Whether you consider yourself advanced, intermediate, or are just beginning on your yoga journey, THIS IS FOR YOU:)! Audra will craft an experience to suite your abilities and help to guide you. She is wonderful and certainly taught me new things that I will carry with me into my practice at home. The Tulum ecological preserve was incredible. PocNa had a lovely staff, amazingly delicious and fresh food, and a fantastic shabby chic beachy vibe. And being able to walk to the Tulum ruins from the resort was a big plus. I give immense thanks to the Mexican and to the Mayan people for their warm hospitality. Cheers to the fast new friends I made on this journey, I know we will see each other again.... Maybe next year with Mudra in Costa Rica:)!!! With all of my heart & soul, I am so grateful for my new Mudra family. Namaste Until we meet again! Besos!!!!

Dear Amber, Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very delighted to hear that our Mudra experience has left you with such wonderful feelings and also with unique memories that you will treasure with you. When we put together this retreat, our aim was to create a retreat that can give people a good combination of yoga, healing, reconnecting with mother nature, discovering the beauties of this magic part of the world from its fresh and delicious food to the kindness of its people,, the sandy beaches, the lush vegetation and above the sacred cenotes, mystical place with the unique spiritual environment. We feel very emotional in reading your message, this was always our goal and we feel humble but also proud that we were able to convey all that. Thank you so much for coming and being our guest and we truly hope to meet you again in the near future. With love and profound gratitude, we wish you the best for the remainder of this year. Until next time. Mudra Retreats

The retreat was the perfect balance of fun, relaxation, and adventure, with daily yoga classes in Tulum's serene and magical site and discovering the area's beauty. The cherry on the cake was practicing yoga in unique locations like the magical Mayan cenotes, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the sounds of ancestral instruments. The food was healthy, delicious, and made with fresh local produce. After attending the retreat, I feel more energized and intimately connected with myself and the local people. If you want a healthy, fun, and adventurous experience, I highly recommend Mudra Retreats!

If you want an overall relaxing yoga retreat, this is the one I would recommend. The Pocna Hotel is right on the beach and you can get a room like I did just 10' from the sand and 40' from the water. The hotel has a quaint Mexican feel to it vs a modern hotel. Audra the instructor has a great vibe and was not to taxing on my body, but definitely learned some new poses. Adriana and Elena were great onsite host and Roberto was very helpful signing up. All three had an old school Italian warmth to them which made the retreat all the more enjoyable!

Mudra Retreats have created a beautiful one of a kind experience with this retreat:) Lucia, Elena and Roberto were the kindest and most attentive organizers taking care of all the finest details! Could not beat the outings, the yoga sessions, the area of Tulum, the beaches, the group of friends we made, the "specialized" food for the GF allergy prone woman, and the Pocna resort. Would definitely recommend this yoga retreat (or anything from Mudra Retreats) in the future to anyone. This adventure was pure magic and exactly what I needed to reset this year in life! I will definitely be going on another adventure with Mudra Retreats in the future and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!
