About this trip

Follow your heart! Connect yourself! Explore paradise!

 

Mudra retreats are delighted to offer you daily yoga classes, in the serene and magic site of Tulum archaeological area. Our retreats are the perfect balance of fun, relaxation and adventure, from yoga, to full relaxation under a palm tree, from adventurous experiences like snorkeling, diving and discovering the beauty of the area to meditation classes; whatever you wish to do, we are going to create a tailor-made experience…. just for you!

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. These are places sacred to the Maya and where the yoga practice will allow our yogis to connect with mother nature whilst their experience will be enhanced by the surrounding natural elements and by the sounds of ancestral instruments. The outcome of the practice is a feeling of being invigorated and connected with the place and the local people in a more intimate way.

We will go above and beyond to provide you with a healthy, fun, adventurous experience where you can connect with yourself and leave the retreat with a more energized spirit.

In our retreat we will also look after your wellbeing by providing healthy and delicious food made with local fresh produce.

Healing, spirituality and inclusivity are our core values and we strive to create THE experience that allows any person to feel safe and express themselves for who they are.

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.

Reviews

If you are thinking about this retreat, hesitate no more-book it! Lucia and Elena (owner and host) are great friendly hosts. They created carefully curated, enhanced experiences that were private for the group. Things were perfectly timed and I was always impressed by our activities and never bored. And they took great pictures so you can stay immersed in the experience and have photos. Audra (yoga instructor) led the group in thoughtful practice considering the diverse levels and needs of the group. The hotel Ponca was beautiful with its lush greenery, winding sandy walkways and canopied beds on a white sand beach. There was no shortage of good food and I’m a dairy free picky eater with some fruit allergies. The only downside I found with the hotel was that my room was next to an energy or water utility system that had a continuous pitch hum. I made the hotel aware and it didn’t seem they could offer a room change or discount on the room. I would stay in the same hotel again, just not that room. I loved the group and miss everyone! Overall an amazing experience that I’ll never forget.

Dear Stephanie Thank you so much for taking the time to review your retreat experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the time with us in Tulum and every part of the retreat; our aim is to create a full immersive experience from yoga to food and local culture and when we hear that people are able to enjoy all of that we feel very accomplished. We are sorry to hear about the room issue and that the hotel was not very cooperative, certainly something we will bear in mind when confirming our room allocation. Once again thank you so much for being one of our esteemed guests and we hope to see you again in one of our future retreats. With love and gratitude, The Mudra team

This trip was amazing! Lucia and Roberto were wonderful with pre-trip communication and travel arrangements. Once I arrived, Elana and the entire team made the trip one of a kind. The hotel is bohemian-chic and located in the Tulum State Park. The rooms are so wonderful! The retreat customized all the meals and each was more delicious than the last. I cannot say enough about this trip and I recommend it to anyone looking for a retreat to take by themselves or with friends. I will be going back!

I went to the retreat solo after a very difficult time in my life had left me feeling depleted and closed in. I left feeling more fully alive and with a heightened sense that life can be expansive and beautiful even in the wake of tragedy. Every aspect of the retreat seemed perfect to me: stunning location; authentic and intimate hotel; thoughtful activities; and warm and welcoming organizers, instructor, and guides. Oh, and scrumptious and healthy food too! I can’t recommend this retreat highly enough! 10/10!

Thank you so much for attending our retreat and real pleasure meeting you and hopefully we can see you again in one of our retreats in the future. With love and gratitude The Mudra team ❤️

I had a wonderful time on this yoga retreat. Audra was a fantastic yoga teacher for the body, mind and spirit. The locations of our classes were amazing. The two cenotes that we visited for yoga practice (private visits) were magical. The resort was very comfortable and right on a beautiful stretch of white sand beach that was great for long walks. The food was made to order and really good. Lucia and Elena, the organizers, were always there and making sure that everything was running smoothly. I would highly recommend this retreat.

AMAZINGGGGG!!! I can't even describe how beautiful and refreshing this retreat was. Exceeded my expectations many times over; I really didn't want to leave. Deserves more than 5 stars. The location was perfectly chosen in the national park on the Playa Paraiso.. absolutely Stunning views! this park is only open to hotel's guests and day tourists visiting the Mayan ruins. So it was very quiet, calm, no vendors walking the beach, no loud music. Extremely peaceful. The owners, Lucia, Roberto and our excellent host Elena did a fabulous job planning this program. Each yoga class was planned at different yet relaxing setting with gorgeous backgrounds sometimes with live mayan music performance. In between classes other activities were also planned that allowed us to explore the area, visit secluded cenotes where we were the only group. these activities included diving, zip lining, swimming and snorkeling in some jaw dropping locations. Our Yoga instructor, Audra was also fantastic. Such a kind loving soul. She had each class tailored to the needs and wants of the participants. I was lucky enough to even have a private session with her one of the days and she helped me explore some poses I never would have attempted. Each meal was carefully curated and planned for by Lucia and Elena. 3 meals a day, locally sourced ingredients, so fresh and delicious. it was satisfying every single time. All in all, Im beyond impressed with this retreat! It has left a giant lasting impression and I can't wait to go back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to anyone looking to get away for some relaxing peaceful time and connecting with their mind body and soul. It will do you wonders. Thank you so much, Lucia, Elena, Roberto, Audra <3

Once again thank you so much for joining our retreat and we hope to see you again in one of our retreats in the near future. With love and gratitude The Mudra team

I had an incredible time in Tulum with Mudra retreats. This was my first solo trip and did not know what to expect but our guides Lucia, Elena and Audra created an amazing environment which felt safe and comforting. I got to meet 6 amazing people each on their own journey and we all formed a tight bond. Yoga in the beautiful cenotes was truly a magical experience and the yoga classes in general were all tailored to each of our levels and needs. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to expand their yoga practice and meditation skills but above all who are trying to connect with themselves.

What an absolutely wonderful experience with the Mudra team (Lucia and Elena) and our yoga guide, Audra, who guided us through an amazing 5 days of yoga, excursions, and general bliss. Couldn’t recommend this retreat more! I made some amazing friends, did yoga in magical denotes, and relaxed next to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

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!
