Pam Johnson invites you to join them in paradise for the second annual Heights School of Yoga’s retreat in the Mayan Rivera. 

Maya Tulum Wellness Retreat and Spa is an elegant but earthy retreat facility built exclusively for the practice of yoga. The food is amazing, the setting just short of or maybe paradise, the yoga challenging and restorative. All followed by explorative days reading a book on the beach, floating down a fresh water river, having a mystic massage, or exploring the magical ruins. Pam will teach morning vinyasa classes and evening restorative classes.  Yoga classes, food and lodging are all included. See attached map for cabana location.

Maya Tulum is bathed in the warm sun and waters of the Caribbean Sea, in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.  The resort is located at the entrance of the Sian Ka’an national park, an intact biosphere reserve of lagoons, mangroves, tropical rain forests and awesome beaches, all just an hour and a half drive from Cancun’s International Airport.

CABANAS
Surrounded by tropical gardens each cabana is unique, all offer beautiful views of the sea. Your quiet refuge away from home.

SCHEDULE
Each day begins with a challenging 2 hour yoga practice followed by free days to recoup with a Mayan massage, shop, read a book on the beach, explore the archaeological ruins of Tulum, the jungle pyramids of Coba or float down a fresh water canal. Then return to the studio for alternating evening restorative yoga and centering Qigong class. End the day with a quiet dinner, a glass of wine and restful sleep lulled by the sound of the near by ocean. 

MEALS
All meals are served in the open air palapa overlooking the ocean. The vegetarian restaurant provides three terrific meals a day.  Breakfast includes fresh tropical fruits, eggs, pancakes, French toast and juices.
