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.

About your instructors

DANIELA OSPINA



Born in Bogota Colombia, she starts studying Classic Ballet at the age of 6; she continues as professional ballerina till the age of 21, whilst getting closer and closer to contemporary dance. 

Graduated in literature studies at the Pontificia Javeriana University, she  moves to Mexico where she studies at the Mazatlan Professional Dance School with a specialization in contemporary dance.

Arriving in  Mexico City, she starts to expand her interests into different type of moves, aiming to find the connection between the body in its current form with the spirit. Exploring also martial arts and Capoeira, she finally approaches Yoga, finding the right place  where the body is seen in a more holistic and inclusive form and where each human being strives to develop a way to become a better self.

She continue her yoga studies with Karunamayi Dasi in 2010 and with Leonardo Estrada Mendez in 2011.

In 2016, she becomes an Ashtanga, Vinyasa and  Hatha yoga teacher within the Mexican Foundation of Universal Yoga in Mexico City.

Finally she moves to Tulum Quintana Roo to be a Yoga master and running the Alraun Dance Company.


AUDRA PATTERSON


Audra discovered yoga in 1999 in a small studio in Madison Wisconsin USA and immediately fell in love with yoga. She would go to class and learn the sequence and practice at home the other days of the week. In 2002, she moved to Mexico City to study dance and get a master’s degree in Ecological Restoration in the National Autonomous University of Mexico.  After 10 years of consistent practice of yoga and dance, she decided to get study a Yoga Teacher Training in ashtanga vinyasa yoga, and found her life’s passion. She quickly went on to study a 300 hour certification and taught as many classes as she possibly could. In 2014, Audra moved to Tulum, took another 200 hour certification with Yoga Alliance and assisted multiple teacher trainings in that studio. She went on to teach multiple teacher trainings and retreats as well as classes and workshops for all levels of experience and ability. She has now taught over 7000 hours of classes and is finishing a 300 hour course on biomechanics and yoga with Jules Mitchell. She primarily teaches creative vinyasa, restorative, slow flow, and focuses on body awareness, presence, expansion, and creativity, and can adapt to any level of practice or ability.

Reviews

This yoga retreat exceeded all of my expectations. Lucia and Elena were exceptional hosts, meticulously organizing every aspect of the trip and ensuring our comfort and well-being at all times. The Hotel Pocna was a delightful surprise. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was good and healthy. Audra, our yoga instructor, was simply amazing. Her sessions were not only physically invigorating but also spiritually uplifting. Her kind and loving nature created a serene and supportive atmosphere. The highlight of the retreat was definitely the yoga sessions at the cenotes. It was an amazing experience. I've never felt so connected to nature and myself. I definitely recommend this yoga retreat to anyone seeking a rejuvenating and transformative experience.

Dear Zoraya and Yves, Firstly, we would like to thank you so much for attending our retreat, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you. We are very extremely delighted to heat that have enjoyed the Mudra experience in each of its activities as well as finding the resort a delightful surprise. We have put a lot of effort to create a retreat that makes our guests feeling very welcome to start with and they can enjoy the experience in full especially the adventure in the cenotes, which we feel can give the real sense of the place, you can't be anywhere but Mexico when you go there and having the possibility to enjoy them in a very private environment is something that we are really proud of. We are extremely happy that you have left our retreat with a sense of reinvigoration and rejuvenation and for this we feel very accomplished. Thank you so much again for being both of you amazing guests and we hope to meeting you again, perhaps in one of our next retreats. With love and gratitude, The Mudra Team

I had an absolutely lovely time at the Mudra yoga retreat! Our hosts Lucia and Elena were an absolute delight and provided support and super useful information about Tulum. Our yoga guide, Audra, was super knowledgeable and worked well managing the varying yogi levels of our group. Additionally, I made some wonderful friends on this yoga retreat. 6 people I’d never met before, but had a wonderful time getting to know and adventuring with! I am a solo traveler and it was really heartwarming to meet such lovely people and share such a great experience with. Finally, the locations for the yoga: Poc-na hotel, the cenotes, the beaches, it was truly a memorable event in my yogi life. I will never forget that cormorant on the branches while we were doing yoga, then it swimming in the water right in front of us! Couldn’t recommend this retreat more for all yoga levels who are looking to learn, practice, breathe, and relax in one of the most gorgeous beaches I’ve ever seen.

Dear Brandon First and foremost we would like to thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us, it means a lot to us. It goes without saying that we are absolutely delighted that you have enjoyed the Mudra experience; your words really summarised our main goal: bringing people together that have a passion for yoga whilst make them discovering what this magic place has to offer and when we see that people have enjoyed the experience we feel truly accomplished. Brandon it was a real pleasure to getting to know, we wish the best for the rest of your trip in Mexico and hopefully our path will meet again perhaps in one of our future retreats. With loads of gratitude The Mudra Team

This was an absolutely beautiful retreat. Lucia and Elena were the sweetest guides and yoga with Audra was absolutely amazing. Everything was curated for a very intimate, non-touristy experience that really allowed us to escape from the chaos of the world and fully immerse ourselves in the retreat. The activities chosen were a perfect match for the vibe of the trip. The resort was beautiful- definitely spend the money on the upgraded ocean front room, it was worth every penny. Juan, one of the staff members at the hotel took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed while at the resort. The food was super fresh and healthy- everything was absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend this retreat!

We are so delighted to hear that you have enjoyed the Mudra experience and thrilled that the retreat was for you an escape from the chaos of the world out there. Our aim is to give our guests the possibility to disconnect from their day-to-day life and immerse themselves in the Mudra experience and we are really happy when our guests find this dimension, it makes us feel accomplished, we have reached our goal!! Thank you so much for being our guests and hopefully we can see you again in one of our retreats in the near future. With love and gratitude, Mudra Retreats

Enjoyed every minute of this retreat! Our hostesses Elena and Lucia made sure everything was perfect and made us feel very welcome. The resort was an absolutely idyllic place right on the beach surrounded by jungle. Our yoga instructor, Audra, always seemed to know exactly what we needed in each practice and made each session meaningful. The food was incredibly good - I don’t think I’ve ever had fruit that delicious anywhere and the meals were healthy and delicious and so fresh. The staff of the hotel was very helpful and welcoming. The cenotes were breathtaking and provided a gorgeous spot to practice yoga and swim. Can’t wait to book my next retreat with Mudra!

Dear Chanda, we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed every aspect of our retreat: the resort, the yoga, the food and above all the cenote experience and it is always our pleasure to hear that our guests leave our retreat fully satisfied, with memories they will treasure and with the feeling they want to come back again. This gives a sense of joy that we have accomplished our mission, which is making people welcome and happy. Thank you so much for choosing our retreat and hopefully we will see you again in one of our retreats in the neat future. With love and gratitude, Mudra Retreats

My Love letter to Mudra... I just returned from the April 17th-21st retreat in Tulum, and I am basking in the afterglow. An immense thank you to Lucia, Elena, Audra, & Roberto....the whole Mudra team, for cultivating such a magical, spiritual, and life changing experience. It is difficult to convey into words the gift they give by sharing with you what they feel in this very special place. Thank you for the shift in perspective and thank you for the healing. The yoga practices lead by Audra in the Cenotes were magical. The private time in the cenote Chukum, with the cacao ceremony and sound bath, followed by the private time to swim and cleanse my soul in the sacred waters was particularly powerful. I felt very connected with the divine universe. What an absolutely unique experience that has changed me forever and I will never forget it. Whether you are looking for a healing experience, (as I was), or you are just looking for a well cultivated, unique, one-of-a-kind experience that will feed your soul...THIS IS FOR YOU:)! Whether you consider yourself advanced, intermediate, or are just beginning on your yoga journey, THIS IS FOR YOU:)! Audra will craft an experience to suite your abilities and help to guide you. She is wonderful and certainly taught me new things that I will carry with me into my practice at home. The Tulum ecological preserve was incredible. PocNa had a lovely staff, amazingly delicious and fresh food, and a fantastic shabby chic beachy vibe. And being able to walk to the Tulum ruins from the resort was a big plus. I give immense thanks to the Mexican and to the Mayan people for their warm hospitality. Cheers to the fast new friends I made on this journey, I know we will see each other again.... Maybe next year with Mudra in Costa Rica:)!!! With all of my heart & soul, I am so grateful for my new Mudra family. Namaste Until we meet again! Besos!!!!
By AMBER T for 5 days of yoga in Tulum Caribbean beach discovering the Mayan Cenotes on Apr 22, 2024
Dear Amber, Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very delighted to hear that our Mudra experience has left you with such wonderful feelings and also with unique memories that you will treasure with you. When we put together this retreat, our aim was to create a retreat that can give people a good combination of yoga, healing, reconnecting with mother nature, discovering the beauties of this magic part of the world from its fresh and delicious food to the kindness of its people,, the sandy beaches, the lush vegetation and above the sacred cenotes, mystical place with the unique spiritual environment. We feel very emotional in reading your message, this was always our goal and we feel humble but also proud that we were able to convey all that. Thank you so much for coming and being our guest and we truly hope to meet you again in the near future. With love and profound gratitude, we wish you the best for the remainder of this year. Until next time. Mudra Retreats

I had an incredible time in Tulum with Mudra retreats. This was my first solo trip and did not know what to expect but our guides Lucia, Elena and Audra created an amazing environment which felt safe and comforting. I got to meet 6 amazing people each on their own journey and we all formed a tight bond. Yoga in the beautiful cenotes was truly a magical experience and the yoga classes in general were all tailored to each of our levels and needs. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to expand their yoga practice and meditation skills but above all who are trying to connect with themselves.

What an absolutely wonderful experience with the Mudra team (Lucia and Elena) and our yoga guide, Audra, who guided us through an amazing 5 days of yoga, excursions, and general bliss. Couldn’t recommend this retreat more! I made some amazing friends, did yoga in magical denotes, and relaxed next to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

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!
