Amansala Resort
On the Caribbean Coast in Tulum, Mexico

January 31 – February 6, 2010

The turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea on the Yucatán peninsula, the “Mayan Riviera,” are your backdrop for a week of yoga, play, and relaxation. Jessica Bellofatto and Lois Nesbitt, two of New York’s most loved and respected teachers, guide you into a magical, healing, and life-changing retreat. You will emerge refreshed, rejuvenated, and primed for the New Year! Enjoy two yoga sessions daily, long walks on the beach, Mayan mud baths, and an optional temezcal (sweat lodge). Savor delicious (and healthy!) cuisine as you share laughter and life stories with your fellow yogis, even as you drop more easily into your true self. We welcome yogis from everywhere and all levels to join us as we return to this extraordinary paradise, just as winter closes in on the Northeast.
