Tulum Retreat 2024
Oct 20th — Oct 25th
I am very excited to share with you all this incredible experience in Tulum, Mexico. I am leading a yoga retreat at a wellness center in the jungle called Holistika. I led my first retreat at Holistika in 2019 and I can’t wait to return to this magical place. I completed my yoga teacher training in Tulum in 2016. I fell in love with Tulum, decided to stay, and lived there for almost 2 years. I taught yoga at many of the hotels on the beach and spent my days in Tulum practicing yoga, swimming in the Caribbean waters, eating fresh local fruit, food, juices, enjoying friends, and nature. I want to bring my students back to where my love for yoga, health, and wellness all began for me.
Itinerary
The yoga retreat will take place October 20th - October 25th 2024 at a wellness center called Holistika. It will be a 6-day yoga retreat with daily morning yoga, beach days, a cenote or boat tour, sound bath, Temazcal ceremony, and two additional afternoon yin classes. I want to make sure you all have time to relax, unwind, and reset. You are always welcome to skip any classes or activities. This is what our days in Mexico will look like:

We will begin the mornings with a 90-minute Vinyasa Flow practice. The yoga shala will be available to the students 30 min before class begins for morning meditation, should students want to come before class to meditate. Yin yoga will be available for two afternoon sessions. There are also daily classes
taking place at the wellness center, if you ever want to remain at Holistika and take additional classes.
Transportation
Plane tickets and transportation from Cancun to Tulum are not included in the retreat packages. Tulum
is about a 2-hour drive from the Cancun Airport. There is a new Tulum Airport that is up and running. However, flights from Los Angeles to the new Tulum airport are not available until May or June 2024.
Travel options from the Cancun Airport include:
1. Rent a car at the Cancun Airport and drive to Tulum
2. Take a bus from the Cancun Airport to Tulum and then a taxi to Holistika
3. Take a taxi from the Cancun Airport to Tulum
4. Have a personal driver pick you up at the Cancun Airport and take you to Holistia
I have a whatsapp number for a company. If you are interested in this option, let me know. It was around $150 usd for a one-way trip from the airport to Tulum.
I will have a car in Tulum and I think a few others should rent cars in the group. Then we can all
drive together to the beach for our beach days and cenote tour. If you want to go into town at night, Holistika can call a cab for you as well.
Plane tickets:
I found a great nonstop Alaska Airlines flight. I recommend getting this flight or one with similar arrival
and departure times.
LAX to CANCUN, Sunday, October 20th
Departs 8:21AM LAX and Arrives 3:08PM Cancun
Could be an hour max through customs and then 2-hour drive to Tulum. It will be perfect timing
for our welcome dinner at 7 or 8PM.
Fly back on Friday, October 25
Departs 5:41PM Cancun – 8:55PM LAX
This return flight will give you time for our last yoga class together Friday morning and goodbye breakfast. You could leave Holisika around 12 or 1PM to get to the Cancun airport around 2 or 3PM
for your evening flight. If you are not coming from Los Angeles, I would recommend you try to arrive
at similar times. Plan to arrive in Cancun early afternoon Sunday, October 20th and take an evening flight October 25th.
If you want to come to Mexico a day or two earlier, I have many recommendations for nearby hotels
and Airbnbs. Message me if you want any of this information.
Food/Meals
We will eat our meals together at Holistika. The chef at Holistika prepares the food buffet style for the retreat group. The food at my last retreat was so incredible, the group still talks about how much they miss it. I am a huge fan of this chef and can’t wait to see what he makes for this retreat. We will have a welcome dinner Sunday evening and breakfast Friday morning after class. I am not certain of the exact times yet; I think our morning yoga class will start at 8:30AM and breakfast will be at 10:30AM. If you want coffee before class, there are cafes you can walk to or you can buy coffee at the restaurant in Holistika.
Breakfast after yoga and dinner are included in the retreat packages. Coffee before class, lunch, or snacks are not included in the retreat packages. The restaurant at the Holistika is vegetarian/vegan.
Holistika does not permit alcohol on the premises. If you would like to drink, you can go into town after dinner. We will be going to a beach club at the Ahau Hotel Monday and Wednesday. Food and alcohol will be available there for purchase. The hotel beach chairs are not free; they will cost around $50 a person (not included in your retreat package). You can always go to a different part of the beach or stay back at the hotel pool if you don’t want to join the group for the beach days.
