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 by the warm
waters of the
Caribbean Sea in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico,
land of the ancient Maya. The resort
is located at the entrance of the
Sian Ia’an national park, an intact
biosphere reserve of lagoons,
mangroves, tropical rain-forest and
awesome beaches., An hour and a half
drive after your arrival at the
Cancun international Airport.
The crystal clear turquoise colored
waters of the ocean and the
unspoiled white sanded beaches
extend for miles. The archeological
ruins of Tulum and jungle pyramids
of Coba are close by.

us by our teacher with mindful

Smell of the salt water
