Program
Join Copal Retreat for a week of embodiment and tuning into the rhythm of your soul's flow! Explore a cenote and enjoy an afternoon and evening at the Maya civilization archaeological site Xcaret, all while deepening your yoga practice and absorbing the gentle ocean breeze. During your week, you will strike a balance between solo, reflective time, and social time.
Enjoy self-care practices to rhythmic sequenced warming flows and walks on the beach, powerful daily intentions, and soul activating inner work through your practice.
There will be daily rooftop sunrise meditation and sunset yoga practices with panoramic views of the Mayan Riviera. The classes will focus on classic sequences and modifications meant to get you out of your head and connected with your bodily wisdom, channeling and liberating emotions for awareness within the physical and subtle body.
The itinerary will be curated by your local Mexican hosts. At Copal, they are passionate about sharing the vibrancy of Mexico’s energy, culture, and landscape with the rest of the world. There'll be a perfect balance between relaxation and play set up for the entire retreat.
With the right amount of tours, activities, and free time, you will be in control of what your schedule will look like. If you want to do more, take on some of the extra activities or have them arrange a tour for you during your free time. Or perhaps, you'd want to do less, kick back on a hammock with the ocean breeze, or go on a solo bike trip through the jungle to the beach?

- Shamanic cuenco sound bowl healing
- Garden of Eden cenote excursion (half day)

Show
Raised in Northern Mexico, a small city called Tampico, where the love of being close to the sea found a way into his heart. He developed his passion for bodily movement and the interaction between body and mind through Martial Arts, loving both the traditional aspect and the competition. Ricardo began yoga to improve his alignment in Calisthenics as well as proper breathing in Martial Arts and immediately fell in love with its focus on balancing body and mind. He is new to teaching yoga, but an old soul with years in martial arts and mind body connection.
Location
Copal Retreat is located on an oceanfront villa in the Mexican Riviera Maya. The rooftop studio space offers panoramic views of the beautiful Caribbean ocean - perfect for a sunrise or sunset practice.
The villa is located near Tulum, an hour away from the Cancun International Airport. All of their private suites are steps away from the pool - a relaxing space with an ocean breeze and view that cohabitates beautifully with the Caribbean tropics.
There is an abundance of coconut palm trees, tropical flowers, seashells, weathered limestone, hermit crabs, iguanas, and pelicans, plus a galaxy's worth of stars at night to gaze up at.
Five minutes south of La Villa, on a rugged bike path through the jungle, lies a turtle sanctuary. This ungroomed and isolated beach is the perfect spot to soak up some sun in peace. To the north of Copal - about a two-minute walk away, lies another beautiful beach with white powdered sand and fabulous margaritas.
