TULUM WELLNESS ACADEMY

Our Vision

A healing yoga journey to the Mayan Riviera and the magical charm of Tulum where the sacred lands meet the turquoise blue Caribbean Sea.

Witness magnificent pyramids, barrier reefs, cenotes, ancient Mayan ruins and more. Our retreat location is about 2 hour South of the Cancun airport.

This retreat will focus on reconnecting ourselves with the sacred Mayan land (the womb of mother earth) through the channel of Vinyasa yoga, Mayan Culture and the Spanish Language. We will tune into access points that will invite in deep healing energy to nurture our being.

Each day will include a morning sunrise yoga focused on your interconnection between sacred mother earth (Jai Ma) with father Sun (Surya).

La Casita Spanish school is delighted to partner with our Yoga Academy, to offer you a unique Spanish and Yoga immersion at our beautiful boutique style retreat.

la Casita is a well established language school specialising in providing students with intensive Spanish courses for all levels in a family-like atmosphere since 2004. For those who want to enjoy a Yoga holiday while learning Spanish in Mexico, we have teamed up with them to offer a one-week course in Tulum, Mexico.

The course does not enter deeply into grammar, but you will learn the necessary tools to be able to communicate in Spanish through role-playing and communicative games, which are a lot of fun! Students are organised in small groups of 3 to 8 persons according to their language level, and the contents can be adapted to the needs of the group.

RETREAT TERMS & CONDITIONS/CANCELLATION:

REFUND POLICY

Deposit is non-refundable.

Deposit is transferable to another attendee. Full balance is due 60 days before start date of retreat. If cancellation takes place more than 60 days prior to the retreat start date, any payments made will be refunded, minus your deposit. If cancellation takes place between 30-60 days prior to the retreat start date, 50% of the trip price will be forfeited. If cancellation takes place less than 30 days prior to the retreat start date, 100% of the trip price will be forfeited. Exceptions cannot be made for any reason, including weather, injury/illness, or personal emergencies. There are no refunds or credits for failure to attend or failure to complete the retreat, or for arriving late or leaving early. We reserve the right to cancel retreats with inadequate participant interest, in which case all money paid to Tulum Wellness Academy will be refunded. Under such circumstances, notification of cancellation will occur at least 1 month prior to retreat start date. Tulum Wellness Academy cannot be held responsible for any personal expenses, such as airline tickets due to changes in itineraries or retreat cancellations.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Since unexpected events do occur, we HIGHLY recommend you purchase travel insurance. Most companies will cover retreat payments, flights and other expenses, should you have to cancel at the last minute. Trip insurance should also be purchased to cover medical expenses while abroad. One company we recommend and trust is World Nomads. You can purchase travel insurance with them up until the retreat start date

CBX BORDER CROSSSING TO TIJUANA:

Cost is approximately $20 each way. One of the main conveniences of flying out of Tijuana Airport (TIJ) is that flights tend to be less expensive, particularly for families traveling to destinations throughout Mexico and Central or South America. Mexican carriers Aeroméxico, Interjet and Volaris, as well as several smaller airlines, all have flights from TIJ. Both the CBX and the newly remodeled Tijuana International Airport are clean and modern, with all the necessary comforts and amenities. I recommend Aeromexico or Interjet for flights to Cancun.

TRAVEL:

Please note that if you are heading to Mexico from California, you will need to depart prior to February 19th to arrive in time for the start of the retreat. You are responsible for your own roundtrip airfare to and from Cancun airport.

Depending on your arrival you may be able to share a ride which is included in the retreat cost. If your time does not match with the group ride then you will be credited $25 for each direction for a maximum credit of $25. It is best to coordinate with the timing of other guest as it will save you additional transportation cost.

A taxi transfer from the airport or between other hotels can be arranged at a nominal additional fee. You may even want to extend your Mexican Riviera stay before or after the retreat. We can discuss these options and best ways of transport once you sign up. The best and most economical option to get the Mexican Riviera is to travel from Tihuana via Mexico City.

There are many flights to Mexico City daily along with many flight options to Cancun airport. The price to fly out of Tijuana is about half the cost of flying out of San Diego.

Try to give yourself an extra day to fly in and be with the group ride on the 19th of October. Estimated time of pick up will be between ten and 2 pm. There may be more than one option depending on everyones arrivals. It is recommended that you purchase your own travel insurance.

You will need a passport for entry to and from Mexico or at least a valid ID. Review your options for entry and re-entry from the U.S. Be sure your passport is up-to-date, does not expire within six months of your departure date from Mexico. There are no travel vaccinations required to travel to Mexico. Check with your doctor to inquiry for any special needs or requirements for you to travel to Mexico.
