Pilates Retreat in Cozumel with enLiven Retreats - Carrie Winograd Kaufman & Dr. Svetlana Kotlin

Come back to yourself as you join us and others on a wellness journey like no other! Try something new with carefully curated excursions: snorkeling in a crystal turquoise sea, local shopping and tequila tours, hiking through breathtaking beachy jungle landscapes and boating through the Caribbean Sea. Bond with friends over incredible local food and drink, creating memories and friendships that will endure long after the trip ends.

Gift yourself the time to relax, explore and bond with others on a wellness journey of a lifetime. Immerse yourself in the sun while enjoying the best of Cozumel. Carrie lives part time on the island and has held retreats in Cozumel for years so is able to capture the local flavor that most tourists can’t on their own.

Carrie and Svetlana will lead the group in daily physical water and reformer pilates practices. We have partnered with Inova Pilates and will be conducting reformer classes there all week. All experience levels, ages and bodies are welcome to come and play. As always, all excursions, and pilates are optional but encouraged. A soothing Mayan massage or facial will top off your relaxing experience!

We will stay at the beautiful Playa Azul Hotel where we have a private pool for morning water Pilates and a gorgeous swim and snorkel area.​ Each day there will be water Pilates, breakfast, an excursion that includes snorkeling, jungle bar hop and a tequila tour a private boat trip to el Cielo and shopping in town. There will be lunch on each excursion. There will be reformer Pilates each afternoon and a group dinner each night. We will have a special formal dinner on our final nights.

This price includes everything for the five days that you will be doing (except alcohol)– lodging, delicious carefully prepared meals, excursions, and evening activities. You will only be responsible for getting yourself to Cozumel and what you want to drink.  * You are welcome to come earlier and stay longer. Organized activities will only be on the days noted for the retreats. Please note that if you come earlier or later you will be responsible for getting to/from airport. Please note retreat organizers will not be available before or after retreat and there are no group activities planned. We can help you book the hotel for extra nights (at your cost).
