Take a break from winter & rejuvenate after the holidays!
Miles of sandy beach, sunshine, yoga, and fun are yours as you join Jen and
Harriet at Casa Om, our charming boutique yoga retreat center in Puerto
Morelos. Fly easily into Cancun and travel just 30 minutes to our sunny home for
a week.
Enjoy an energizing morning yoga practice to start your day plus a quieter
afternoon practice and evening meditation. Harriet and Jen create a supportive
environment for all levels of students with classes that focus on breath, alignment,
self-discovery and fun! There is plenty of time for hanging out at the beach,
traveling to nearby Mayan ruins or exploring the local village.
January is a great time to rejuvenate after the busy holidays and take time for you.
So come and bliss out with Back to Bliss Yoga!
Puerto Morelos
Puerto Morelos, a peaceful village on the Mayan Riviera, is a place to experience
the genuine Yucatan. In Puerto Morelos, tranquility reigns with open skies, long
stretches of beach and a small town atmosphere. This is the place to come and
relax, watch the sunrise on the beach, meet the locals, explore the natural
wonders such as the coral reef 500 meters from shore, work on your tan or simply
soak up the serenity. Wedged between the bustling cities of Cancun and Playa del
Carmen, it has maintained its peaceful atmosphere of a charming Mexican fishing
village living up to its nickname “La Joya del Caribe” (Jewel of the Caribbean).
What is included? 6 nights lodging at Casa Om Casa Om is just steps from the white sandy beach and also within walking distance to the center of town for ease of transportation. We will be practicing yoga in the gorgeous studio, fully equipped with props. Make sure you bring very light yoga wear.
What are the rooms like? We have a great dorm room for 6 female travellers...this is a bargain! You can gather your friends together or if you are a solo traveler; no worries. We will match you with your new friends! There is a bathroom en suite and a second bathroom by the yoga room. We have 1 room with a king bed and 1 room with a queen bed...so you couples...jump on this immediately! The remaining rooms have 2 twin beds. Bathrooms are en suite except 2 rooms have a shared bathroom that will give you a bit of a break on the registration fee.
What kind of food will we have? Ten meals including 6 breakfasts and 4 dinners served at Casa Om are included in this trip. Casa Om runs a full gourmet vegetarian kitchen offering extensive Mexican, Thai, New American and Lebanese food options. Some dinners may include seafood. All dishes are prepared with a healthy yogic lifestyle in mind. Gluten free and vegan options are available as well. Casa Om is strictly meat, alcohol, and smoking free. We have deliberately planned this trip with lunches and one dinner on your own. This will give you the freedom to sample the variety of fantastic restaurants in this village and perhaps sip on a margarita. Not only do restaurants offer Mexican and Maya cuisine but travelers who have settled here have brought their native food as well. Keep in mind that you are staying in a traditional fishing village so when the menu states, “Catch of the Day” they really do mean it. There is no need to dress up---it’s strictly casual here---bare feet and bathing suits will not be turned away. Our final night celebration dinner in the center of Puerto Morelos is included in your fee.
Yoga with Jen and Harriet of course! Jen and Harriet formed Back to Bliss Yoga in 2004 with the intention of teaching classes that integrate all eight limbs of yoga in an experiential manner and for all levels of students. We will celebrate each sunrise in Mexico with silence and meditation. Jen and Harriet will expertly guide you each morning in an energetic practice including asana (postures), pranayama (breath work), and relaxation. Our afternoon and evening sessions will include a quieter practice with pranayama, restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and insight into yoga philosophy. The yoga shala is well equipped with props for your comfort. Do you want to bring a friend or partner who does not do yoga? No problem…we welcome them to this Back to Bliss Adventure! Harriet Jen
What else can I do? Water Activities of course! Hang out on the beach! Go Snorkeling! Add an excursion to Tulum; attend a day of cooking school, or visiting the botanical gardens. Bodywork is available on site and on the beach. How do I get there? Getting to Casa Om is easy! Plan to fly into Cancun International Airport (CUN). You can take a taxi for about $50 or arrange a less expensive shuttle pick up over the Internet. It is a 30-minute drive from the airport to Casa Om. Don’t worry about arranging your transport until 30 days prior to travel. We will facilitate transport sharing to save some money. Arrival at Casa Om is 3:00 PM on Sunday, January 21. Check out from Casa Om is at 11:00 AM on Saturday, January 27. What is the weather like and what should I pack? Packing light is always advisable. The weather at this time of year is warm and sunny with tropical trade winds and average temperature in January ranging from 68-87 degrees F. Don’t forget your swimsuit. All dress is casual!
Better yet…
Should I extend my trip? Absolutely!
We recommend coming a day early for this trip in order to arrive at Casa Om by
3:00 on January 21. Coming a day or two early is a great way to unwind and plan
ahead for a more restful vacation. Any unforeseen delays in arrival flights could
disrupt your trip if you fly the same day. There are many hotels in Puerto Morelos
or Cancun. We can give you some recommendations on where to stay on that
night(s).
You can easily book your flight and extended hotel stay on line or if you need
some help in planning, we recommend Kim Lewis of Travel Café.
