Yoga Garden Retreats invites you to...

A week of Yoga at Posada Dos Ceibas 
on the Yucatan Coast
in Tulum, Mexico
with Gay White

February 20 to 27, 2010 (7 nights)

Paradise is Tulum

Join Gay White, founder and Artistic Director of the Yoga Garden Dancers for a week long retreat on the exquisite Mexican Caribbean at Posada Dos Ceibas and Tierras Del Sol near Tulum, Mexico. Don't miss out on this popular week long retreat with Gay in Tulum. Sign up now!

Classes will be held at Posada Dos Ceibas which offers a combination of nature, serenity and yoga. Or stay just a few steps up the beach at Tierras Del Sol. The setting--a few miles from the biosphere reserve of Sian Ka'an, on a beachfront of white sand beaches and the crystal-clear, turquoise waters of the Caribbean--is the perfect place for going deeper into the practice. 

There will be one long asana class in the morning with special work in the afternoon. Classes are held in the meditation hall, a beautiful, quiet practice space fanned by sea breezes and--for a post-savasana swim--the ocean is but steps away. During your free time you can take part in all the area has to offer. Have a soothing massage or energy work; visit the nearby ruins of Tulum, Coba, and Xel-ha; explore the Sian Ka'an biosphere; swim or scuba in one of the many sacred fresh water cenotes, go snorkeling or scuba diving and, of course, enjoy the magical Caribbean sunsets.
