From Solo Healing in the Mayan Riviera to Hosting My Dream Pilates Retreat
In March 2021, I took a solo trip to the Mayan Riviera — splitting time between the quiet sands of Isla Holbox and the jungle-meets-ocean magic of Tulum. It turned out to be one of the most grounding, healing, and expansive experiences of my life.
I woke each morning to a symphony of birds and jungle sounds filtering through the trees. I sipped cappuccinos at charming local cafes and wrote pages upon pages in my journal. Lazy afternoons were spent reading in a swaying hammock, walking along stretches of coastline with that impossibly turquoise water, and biking through lush jungle paths. I cannonballed into a refreshing cenote, befriended a sweet ginger kitten outside my hotel, savored delicious local meals, and chatted with warm, friendly locals. And yes — I unrolled my mat for some soul-nourishing Pilates sessions amid it all.
I returned home a renewed version of myself: lighter, clearer, and deeply connected to what truly matters. Ever since that trip, I’ve dreamed of going back… but this time, not alone.
That dream is now a reality.
I’m thrilled to invite you to my very first Pilates retreat in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable: a private beach villa just an hour outside Tulum on the Mayan Riviera beach resort area (conveniently accessible from Cancun, Mexico).
Join me for a transformative all-inclusive Tulum retreat from October 20–26, 2026. This intimate wellness retreats Tulum experience is designed for women ready to move, rest, reconnect, and return home feeling like the best version of themselves.
What Your Days Will Look Like
Mornings: Awaken to the gentle sound of the ocean lapping the beach right outside the villa. We’ll be welcomed sound bath ceremony, followed the next morning by coffee and a nourishing breakfast prepared by our in-house chefs. Then we’ll flow through an hour of morning mat Pilates overlooking the sparkling turquoise waters of the Mayan Riviera — the perfect Tulum Pilates setting with sea breeze and endless horizon views.
Days filled with joy and presence: Read by the pool, take peaceful walks on the soft sand, bike through the jungle, or try paddle boarding in the ocean. We’ll enjoy a private catamaran boat tour for snorkeling and swimming in crystal-clear waters. Another highlight? A visit to a jungle cenote (cannonballs are optional — and highly encouraged if you’re feeling playful!).
Afternoons & Evenings: Unwind with soothing massages, another gentle afternoon Pilates session, and plenty of free time to rest and connect. We’ll cap off one evening with a fun night out in vibrant Playa del Carmen.
Throughout the week, we’ll laugh, play, share stories, and truly rest — all while being fully supported in this stunning Mayan Riviera resort setting.
This is more than just a vacation. It’s an all-inclusive Tulum retreat where movement, nature, community, and self-care come together in perfect harmony. Whether you’re deepening your Tulum Pilates practice or simply craving a reset in paradise, this week is crafted for renewal.
You’ll return home — just like I did from my solo trip — as a brighter, more grounded version of yourself.
