Day 1 · February 10, 2025
The adventure begins!
Upon arrival at the airport (you can arrive anytime but before 3pm is best), you're whisked away on a group transfer to your accommodation, Ekumal! As the warm breeze of the jungle welcomes you, your dream week begins with a relaxing arrival day as we all settle in and get oriented at our home for the week. As the evening unfolds, we will come together for a special welcome dinner, followed by an opening ceremony where your retreat leaders Dev and Linda will welcome you, give introductions, and answer any questions you may have about the week to come!
Day 2 · February 11, 2025
Diving deeper; a day of practice in paradise
We kick off our morning with an invigorating sunrise morning practice, setting the tone for a perfect day ahead. After nourishing your body with a wholesome breakfast, we have a nice pocket of free time to rest, swim in the pool, book a massage or do whatever your heart desires! Later in the afternoon, we will immerse ourselves into a workshop all about inversions. Here we will overcome fears, explore how to advance and build upon inversion postures, and embrace the playful energy of trying new things. Conclude the day with a delicious dinner, followed by a cozy circle around the fire under the starlit sky.
Day 3 · February 12, 2025
Bliss on the beach
It's a beach day! After our sunrise yoga session we will have breakfast and get ourselves ready to hit the beach for the rest of the day until dinner. Once we are at the beach you have the option to enjoy a packed lunch provided by the retreat or head out to explore a local restaurant and treat yourself to something else while we're in town! As we return to Ekumal in the evening, we will get settled and regroup for a delicious dinner together.
Day 4 · February 13, 2025
Experience the magic of Cenote Dos Ojos
Prepare for a day of adventure as we journey to the breathtaking Cenote Dos Ojos! The name Dos Ojos translates to Two Eyes, which refers to the two connected sinkholes that form this cenote system. After an energizing morning practice and a tasty breakfast, we will be on our way to the crystal-clear waters of this natural wonder, surrounded by ancient limestone formations and lush jungle greenery. You can choose to swim and explore the glittering blue waters of the cenote or simply bask in the tranquility of this stunning sacred space. Return to Ekumal in the afternoon for a light lunch, followed by a flexibility workshop that will take your mobility to new spaces. After our workshop we will enjoy free time until dinner, and a circle around the fire to conclude our day.
Day 5 · February 14, 2025
Embrace serenity and prepare to say farewell
Our final full day together begins with another fiery morning practice as the sunrises over us in the jungle. After breakfast, you have a choice to stay back and chill at the resort during free time, or opt to take a shuttle into downtown Tulum for some shopping, local restaurants, or a walk about town to admire the culture and local community. Then we gather for one last special dinner, where we celebrate the memories made and friendships created in our week together. The day ends with a closing ceremony around the fire pit.
Day 6 · February 15, 2025
Departure and reflection
