Welcome to the sacred calm of Maya Tulum, the perfect place to practice the ancient art of YOGA

The Women’s Quest Mexico Yoga retreat is an opportunity to relax, renew, and revitalize on all levels: body, mind, and spirit. Connect to your true nature and awaken your senses with the crystal clear ocean, fresh healthy food, spa treatments and healthy movement practices.

Our gifted yoga teacher, Gretchen Spiro, is known for her ability to motivate with her boundless energy, genuine compassion, and depth of calm. Gain a foundation in the fundamental principles of yoga—from alignment to living your yoga. Designed for all levels of experience, our two daily classes will challenge and nurture the body to release tension and gain flexibility. Discover a potent practice style that is lighthearted, strengthening, and creative--enabling you to deepen into stillness.

In addition to a daily practice of yoga, meditation and breathing techniques, the Women’s Quest staff offers a program designed to support women in discovering a joyful and authentic connection to inner strength and personal vision. We’ll help you overcome obstacles and unleash the courage to live your dreams. Drawing wisdom from ancient myths and yoga philosophy, the experience of personal transformation at Maya Tulum will stick with you for a lifetime.

Chef Julia Child says, "It's a shame to be caught up in something that does not absolutely make you tremble with joy." This retreat will nurture that joy in the body--from the sand on your toes to the length you will discover in your hamstrings! You will return home with body, mind and spirit feeling nurtured, rejuvenated and inspired.

The complete Women’s Quest program at Maya Tulum is crafted to engage a sense of joy and clarity in both our outer lives and our internal world. We will journey to the jungle, experience the bliss of floating down a fresh water canal, steam out impurities in an ancient Mayan ritual, and learn a chi gong practice designed for women. Our evenings will be dedicated to dancing and solidifying sweet new friendships. There will be plenty of time for relaxing, splashing in the ocean, reading a book in the shade, and journaling about dreams and revelations. The spa at Maya Tulum has an extensive assortment of luxurious treatments, including ancient Mayan techniques, for health and relaxation.

Come connect to yourself. Nurture your wellspring of health and inner clarity. When you are full and restored, you return home to bring more beauty into your relationships, into your work, and into the world.
