Yoga
Classes are held daily in a spacious screened yoga room surrounded by palm trees and flowers. Classes are alignment-based. Morning classes are more active and challenging; afternoon classes include forward bends, twists, and restoratives. The vacation is geared to students with at least six months of yoga experience. Props are provided.
Activities
There is plenty of time between yoga classes to rest and relax by the pool, in the hammock palapa, or on the white sand beach. The reef at Puerto Morelos is spectacular and easily accessible — snorkeling is fabulous, either from shore or by boat. One day mid-week, only one early morning class is held to allow for longer excursions. Past guests have enjoyed touring Mayan ruins and visiting local cenotes.
Accommodations
Guests stay in the beautiful and serene Villas Shanti and in additional nearby properties in the fishing village of Puerto Morelos, 22 miles south of Cancun. Each double room at Villas Shanti overlooks the pool plaza and has its own kitchen and bathroom. Bottled water and daily maid service are included.
Transportation
Make your own travel arrangements to fly into Cancun. Shuttle service by van is approximately $60. Make your departure plans for any time on your final Saturday.
