swim in the sea, drink the wild air.”–EmersonRestore yourself: Deepen your yoga practice, savor clean healthy food, the fresh sea-salt air, and explore an island originally dedicated to the Mayan Goddess of the Moon.
Join Bay Area California instructors Katerina Polychroniou, creator of XPLOREFIT, and Suzanna Spring, owner of Dragonfly Yoga + Wellness for a 6-day (5 nights) yoga retreat on Isla Mujeres, a beautiful small island off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in the Mexican Caribbean. Known for beautiful white sand beaches, warm and calm crystal-clear turquoise Caribbean waters, and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef (the second-longest coral reef system in the world), the island offers world-class snorkeling and some of the loveliest beaches in the world. We'll practice yoga at the outdoor covered yoga pavilion overlooking the ocean, enjoy outdoor adventures, infinite stars, and spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Savor delicious locally-sourced gourmet meals, mostly vegetarian (vegan options available), and twice daily yoga, meditation and pranayama classes: morning Vinyasa and Meditation, evening Yin and Restorative Yoga. There are also kayaks and paddle boards to enjoy at your leisure for exercise or island exploration, as well as direct boat access from the lagoon side for water transport and excursions, private beach and infinity pool.

Isla Mujeres and the region are also rich in nature and culture with countless options for adventure and visiting some of the worlds finest beaches, with the famous ¨North Beach¨ rated top 10 beaches in the world by TripAdvisor. Set off on a journey for scuba diving, snorkeling, whale shark tour, bird & monkey sanctuaries, cultural sites, or visiting cenotes or Mayan Ruins, all within reach from island or short day trips.
