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.

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!

The beauty of 'bringing yoga to life' is that it helps us remember that an experience IS usually what we make of it...AND yet, my more current practice of also embodying my human experience has me realizing that it sure does helps when the experience far EXCEEDS any and all expectations! This defines my experience with Mudra Retreats in Tulum. I was surely ripe for a retreat...AND Mudra, without question, delivered. EVERYTHING - from the breath-deepening venues onsite for our twice-daily yoga practice, to the delicious, nutritious and soul-satisfying meals (with our feet in the sand!), the ease and flow of the carefully crafted schedule, the overnight accommodations (simply LOVED all elements of the natural dwellings at the POCNA resort!), to the supervised 'field trips' away from the resort with the privatized experience of diving deeper into the local culture and exploring nature, without the touristy hoopla -- it was all SUCH a Dream. The 'customer experience' was just so beautifully considered and designed, and I am forever grateful for the space and the tender love & care shared by the talented Mudra team. I would recommend this trip with Mudra Retreats to anyone looking for an opportunity to connect deeply with themselves and the beautiful Carribbean beach. 5 stars.

Even though I've spent my career creating wellness retreats, I'd never been on one hosted by anyone other than me! That all changed when I joined Mudra's Tulum retreat in November of 2023 (and I had the time of my life)! What a joy to have everything taken care of, considered, and planned. The Mudra team took excellent care of me and our group - it was very clear that they were devoted to creating the most incredible experience for us. From the Cenote adventures and our wonderful yoga teacher, to the incredible space we stayed and dined in... This retreat was definitely a 5-star experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Do not hesitate if you're considering a trip with Mudra! You will be nourished, delighted, and restored in every way possible.

This was the MOST amazing adventure I have ever been on! From start to finish Mudra Retreats took care of everything we needed. Lucia, Elena and Roberto were the kindest and most attentive leaders! Could not beat the outings, the yoga sessions, the area of Tulum, the beaches, the group of friends we made and the Pocna resort. Would definitely recommend this yoga retreat (or anything from Mudra Retreats) in the future to anyone. As a beginner in yoga, traveling with an advanced yoga enthusiast, I was slightly apprehensive if I would be able to partake in the sessions. Our instructor Audra gave so much grace to each of us in order for everyone to have fun and really get in touch with what we needed. The perfect way to get back in touch with self! It was pure magic!

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!
