About this trip

AMAN:  PEACE // SALA: WATERS


I am thrilled to invite you to join me at the world renowned Amansala Resort for a mid-winter  escape in Tulum, Mexico!


Amansala is Sanskrit named after the peaceful crystal clear waters of  Tulum, and to this day it is still one of Tulum's most iconic, eco-chic  boutique hotels. Amansala is a full service resort that puts equal emphasis on indulgence as it does  on the restoration of the mind, body and spirit. We believe in creating  an experience that centers around the natural beauty and resources  unique to Tulum. We use natural materials and resources to create simple  yet beautiful rooms, a menu full of fresh delicious food and an  atmosphere that feels more like staying at a friends beach house than a  hotel.


I can not wait to share in the natural and historical beauty of Tulum with you all and help you to deepen your personal yoga practice, expand your community and restore with some well deserved R&R.  Twice daily yoga practices allow me to share all of the various yoga modalities that I specialize in with you including vinyasa, meditation, restorative, myofascial release, breathwork and more. Between the practices, we vacation! Oceanside naps, a sacred Temezcal ceremony and spa treatments are all included! For those with a desire to explore- tours of the Mayan ruins, Sian Kian Mangroves, and Grand Cenotes are also available to book through the resort onsite!


WHATS INCLUDED? A Breakdown...

Included in your booking are 5 nights at the beautiful Amansala Resort (resort taxes and basic gratuity are included). Daily breakfast, brunch, snack and dinner are included and food restrictions and allergies will happily be accommodated when communicated about in advance. Additional beverages, such as alcohol and sodas are not included. We will enjoy one "off-site" dinner as a chance to indulge in a local restaurant, this meal is not included in the overall price of the retreat.


Along with twice daily yoga, included in your booking is one 55 minute deep tissue or Swedish massage and a Temezcal ceremony. Temezcal is a traditional ancient Mayan sweat lodge. The ceremony, led by a Shaman, is incredibly healing and cleansing. I have participated in 2 Temezcal ceremonies and have had beautifully transformative experiences from both and am so excited to include this add-on for our retreat!


While airfare is not included, an airport transfer is!!! I will arrange group transfers based on flight arrival times. Transfers are only guaranteed if you arrive to Cancun International Airport (CUN) on Friday, 2/10 by 3p and book a flight departure from CUN on Wednesday, 2/15 no earlier than 1p. Flights booked outside of these specifications may include an additional cost for private transfer.


While the Amansala property has plenty to fill your days with, there are plenty of affordable excursion add-ons that we can arrange as a group or individually which will not be included in the retreat cost.

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!
By Lauren A for Tulum Winter Getaway on Feb 24, 2023
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!!
