About this trip

Meet me at Gitana Del Mar, our shared home for 5 nights on the shores of the Caribbean Sea in Colombia, South America. During this 5 night retreat, inspired by the beauty that surrounds us, we will energetically reset through movement, exploration, laughter and community. 


THE PROPERTY

Gitana Del Mar lies at the foothills of the impressive and magical Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest Coastal Mountain Range. This area is referred to as the Heart of the world, not only because of its geographical location, but more importantly because every single ecosystem exists and thrives in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The resort lies at the foothills of the impressive and magical Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest Coastal Mountain Range. This area is referred to as the Heart of the world, not only because of it’s geographical location, but more importantly because every single ecosystem exists and thrives in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

It is here in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada, nestled under the shade of majestic coconut palms is a place where you can disconnect from the hectic world and appreciate the simpler things in life.  Find harmony with mother earth as she offers up the sun, empty virgin beaches, fresh salt air and unforgettable panoramic seascapes. Gitana del Mar is a relaxing world where time moves slowly and you can reflect and appreciate all that life and nature have to give. Escape for a while to life by the sea. Feel the raw energy of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Discover peace on empty, white sand beaches. Rise with the sun over the Caribbean and fall asleep counting falling stars in the Milky Way.


THE PRACTICE

Whether you are a yoga novice, skeptic, or enthusiast the time on the mat is designed to meet you where you are. I believe that the true teacher lies within each of us and my role as instructor is simply to guide you into your own inner wisdom. Practices will range from vinyasa flow to restorative to myofascial release and pranayama. Recognizing the role of the mind in the experience of the body, practices will be intelligently designed to explore brain:body connection and how to move with more ease, trust and joy.

Mary Horne is a 700+ hour RYT based in NYC. Coming from a background as both a professional dancer and a personal trainer, Mary approaches teaching yoga with both expressive artistry as well as precise functional alignment. Leading retreats has become a passion as it allows for people to break out of their routines and day to day lives to gain a greater perspective and awareness of themselves while simultaneously immersing in a new culture, with new like-minded people. While not teaching yoga, you can find Mary loving all the excitement NYC has to offer, or lounging on a beach taking in the slower, simpler moments.

Words cannot do justice for the amazing experiences Mary creates- her retreats have been the best gifts I’ve given to myself! She brings such a positive energy and passion for creating an environment in which we can connect and enjoy yoga along with fun activities in beautiful places. She takes such great care to ensure that all participants are happy and safe, and that the accommodations are top notch. I know that I can join Mary for a retreat anywhere and have an amazing experience that brings me home feeling restored and revitalized. The Azores was such a magical corner of the world and Mary made sure we were all able to enjoy the best of the island while also having time to rest and recharge. Thank you again for making such a wonderful experience possible!

Every retreat with Mary has exceeded the previous one! The Azores was a beautiful retreat filled with amazing energy and great vibes! Mary knows how to give her guest a wide range of options from hiking mountains to relaxing by the pool! And she takes everyone’s daily activities into consideration in her morning flows and evening restoratives!

The retreat was amazing - a once in a lifetime experience. Mary planned the trip extremely thoughtfully. It included everything your heart desires - vinyasa & restorative yoga, sunrise mediations, myofascial release sessions, yummy food, pool & spa time, trips around the island, spontaneous star gazing - the list goes on and on. I came home with new friends, a tan & feeling more centered than I have in a very long time. Thank you Mary for a beautiful week. I cannot wait for the next trip.

Tulum was absolutely amazing. I particularly loved watching the sun rise and set and hearing the sound of the ocean during our practices. Mary is such a warm and kind teacher and does a great job balancing practices that focus on strength, rest, release, and mindfulness. It is always wonderful spending time with Mary and the incredible group of yogis she brings together!

The Tulum Winter Getaway with Mary was wonderful, I highly recommend! Mary started the day providing us with an insightful journal prompt and a vinyasa flow class that was both invigorating and relaxing. I really love how Mary's classes involve both stretching and strengthening the body, and focusing the mind. She offers challenging movements in the practice, and the option to meet yourself where you are that day, which I love. I ended up feeling balanced and refreshed from each of the classes, which is ideal! The location at Amansala was lovely - ocean view open-air classes, nothing compares! You can find on the retreat a multitude of people, so you'll find someone to match your interests during the free time - e.g., shopping, visiting cultural sites, catching up, reading or napping on the beach, dining out, solo time - it's laid back. In the afternoons, Mary taught classes that complemented the morning classes, and went deeper into aspects of yoga I really enjoy and you can't get as often in NYC, such as myofascial release, longer meditations, and restorative yoga. I stayed in a nice triple room with 2 lovely roommates, 1 I had met on another retreat with Mary, 1 I had not, and it was comfortable and relaxing to fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean. Oh, how can I forget to mention, the food was incredible - fresh, balanced, ¡deliciosa! The complementary massage and Temazcal ceremonies were lovely as well. Tulum is a busy tourist location, so you can expect to see a number of other Americans also on yoga retreats and other vacations. The staff at Amansala were very welcoming and it's no problem if you don't speak Spanish in Tulum. Definitely recommend!!

Mary is the best yoga teacher I have ever taken. She incorporates reflection and next level yoga into every practice. I had the most wonderful time on her retreat to Tulum, I could not recommend her trips more. If you’re thinking of taking one of her trips, sign up now!!
