Tulum Yoga Retreat 2020

with iris cohen and osi mizrahi

unnamed-2.jpg

Ever since I stepped onto the pristine Tulum beach 5 years ago, I’ve returned for an annual re-charge and 2020 will be no different. Join me as I return to guide you on another women’s retreat at Casa Violeta, a boho-chic lodging flanked by hammocks and steps away from our rooms and outdoor yoga space. Enjoy locally sourced Mediterranean-meets-Mexico meals, twice daily yoga, healing therapies and spectacular sunrise and sunsets.

What’s more, this year, I’ll be co-teaching with one of my favorite yogis, Osi Mizrahi, who taught at Be True and is now a senior teacher at New York City’s Equinox Fitness Centers. With the intention of expanding your experience, Osi will be sharing her knowledge of Ayurveda and breathing practices along with her extensive asana teaching expertise. Osi and I have studied with many of the same master teachers and align and compliment each other to share our combined 40 years of experience and practice.

We round out the retreat with an optional sweat lodge or sound bath. Live music will accompany some classes. When we’re not practicing, you can read and relax on our private beach, take in some shopping at the local boutiques, swim in the cenotes or schedule a massage right in your room with the waves as your soundtrack. We visit in spring this year to give you more access to all that Tulum has to offer without the increased traffic this bit of paradise has seen of late in the winter months. We are stoked to share our love of yoga and Tulum with you.

Five Day Yoga Retreat Includes:

  • Ocean and Garden Accommodations

  • Twice Daily Classes: morning intensive and restorative early evening sessions (some with live music)

  • Light breakfast

  • Daily buffet brunch

  • Two locally-sourced dinners at Casa Violeta

  • Private beach access with chairs, lounges and hammocks

  • Optional: massages and healing therapies, sound bath, sweat lodge, cacao ceremony

$500 deposit due now to book your room. We advise you place a deposit before year-end to guarantee your spot. 50% due by Feb. 3th 2020. Non-refundable balance due March 9th, 2020. Travel insurance recommended.
