We'll wake up to nature's bliss with some meditation and mindful movement in a hatha vinyasa flow class from 7:00a-8:15a. We'll then savor a fresh breakfast. Around 10:00, we'll travel 30 minutes to adventure in a nearby cenote, one of thousands of limestone sinkholes around the Yucatan. We'll return by 12:30 or 1:00 so that you can check out the local cuisine for lunch and soak up some free time. From 5:00p-6:30p, Melissa will guide a short, gentle yoga class to nourish your body and then lead us in a group discussion. At 7:30, we'll go into Puerto Morelos to enjoy one of the local restaurants. 

Morning meditation and yoga will be available from 7:00-8:00 and will be followed by breakfast at 8:15. At 9:00, we will travel two hours to the peaceful Muyil Ruins where we spend roughly one hour with a Mayan guide as he shares about the local history and culture. 

We'll then take a small boat to the lagoon of the Sian Ka'an biosphere for a slow, blissful float through a unique piece of paradise. Snacks and beverages will be provided.

We'll wrap up around 3:00 and drive to the beaches of Tulum. You'll have time to explore on your own. For those who wish, we'll convene for an early dinner of tacos at La Eufemia on Tulum beach and then head back to Puerto Morelos around 7:30 arriving at 9:30. 

We'll arise for morning meditation and yoga from 7:00-8:15, which will be followed by breakfast. This day is a free day to rest in a hammock or venture off on a solo excursion. We'll have an optional temazcal (sweat lodge) for an extra fee with the exact time to be determined.

From 5:00-6:30, we'll move through some gentle yoga stretching followed by a discussion.  At 7:30, we will head to Puerto Morelos for dinner. 

In order to do our best to skip the crowds, we'll head out of Puerto Morelos at 6:30 to get to our jumping off point of Puerto Juarez by 7:30. We'll then take a private boat for approximately two hours to snorkel with these peaceful giants (depending on where they are). We'll have lunch on the boat and return in the early afternoon.

Please note that while this region has one of the greatest likelihoods of seeing whale sharks, we obviously cannot guarantee anything with nature. That said, we have at least an 80 percent chance of seeing multiple whale sharks, as they migrate together.

From 5:00-6:30, we'll meet for yoga and discussion followed by dinner in Puerto Morelos at 7:30. 

Melissa will lead yoga and meditation from 7:00-8:15, which will be followed by breakfast at 8:30. You'll have this final day to relax, have a massage, or pick up some souvenirs. The day is yours to explore. We'll meet for gentle yoga and our final closing circle from 5:30 to 7:00. Our closing dinner will take place at The Diving Lodge at 7:30. 

Before our retreat comes to an end, we'll have a final morning yoga and meditation practice followed by breakfast. The group shuttle for the airport will depart at 9:30 a.m., which should get you to the airport by 10:00. Be sure your flight departure time is after 12:30 to be safe.
