The program’s core is daily Kundalini yoga sessions, which focus on awakening primal energy through specific postures and breathing techniques rooted in Tantra. These practices are led by a team of experienced teachers, including Ashramacharini and certified guides, with instructions mainly in Spanish but also available in English, making it accessible to a broad audience.
Mornings often start with a sunrise yoga class at the beach, where you’ll do your postures to the sound of crashing waves—an experience that feels both grounding and energizing. Afternoons might feature workshops on chakra and element group dynamics, helping you understand the subtle energies within you. You’ll also participate in sound healing meditations using crystal bowls, which many find deeply relaxing and insightful.
Cultural and Natural Excursions
One of the retreat’s standout features is the Mayan canoe sunset tour. This isn’t just a boat ride; it’s an opportunity to witness an authentic Mayan tradition while soaking in the sunset’s hues. The tour’s timing, at the end of a day of inner work, provides a perfect moment to reflect on your journey.
The first day includes a visit to El Cedral, a small yet historically rich village where you can get a taste of local life and traditions. These excursions deepen the retreat’s spiritual and culture, giving you a broader context beyond the yoga mat.
Meals and Nourishment
The home-cooked vegetarian meals are crafted with care and intention, emphasizing local ingredients sourced from the island’s abundant kitchens. You’ll enjoy dishes that support your spiritual journey—fresh, wholesome, and satisfying—without heavy or processed foods. We found this approach to be a refreshing change from more commercial retreats, making the experience both nourishing and authentic.
Free Time and Personal Reflection
There’s ample free time for reading, resting, or just lounging in a hammock. The crystal pool and outdoor hammocks invite you to relax while listening to the breeze—an essential part of the retreat’s philosophy of balancing activity with pause. The retreat encourages personal workshops or quiet reflection, which many find invaluable after a day of energetic practices.
Group Size and Atmosphere
Limited to just 8 participants, the small group setting fosters intimacy and personalized attention. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, perfect for those who prefer a more personal experience over large, commercial retreats.
Additional Offerings
Participants are offered the option of a 3-day, 2-night extension at affiliated resorts, giving extra space to relax or explore further. Airport transfers are available at minimal extra cost, easing logistics upon arrival and departure.
Analyzing the Value
At $1,225, this retreat offers comprehensive value—covering accommodations, all yoga classes, workshops, excursions, and meals. The inclusion of a post-retreat resort stay adds extra relaxation. Compared to similar retreats, especially those in popular destinations, the price seems reasonable given the personalized attention, natural setting, and culture.
However, since instruction is primarily in Spanish, travelers who are not bilingual might want to consider language readiness or bring a translation app. The small group size and the focus on authentic practices make it especially appealing for serious spiritual seekers or those curious about Kundalini Tantra, rather than casual yoga travelers.
Who Should Consider This Retreat?
This experience is ideal if you’re looking for more than just physical yoga—you want to explore spiritual energies, learn about chakras, and engage in deep meditation. It’s well-suited for those who appreciate authentic cultural elements, such as the Mayan sunset tour, and prefer intimate group sizes. Beginners with an open mind can find value here, especially if they’re interested in Tantra and Kundalini but should be comfortable with some Spanish instruction.
