THE BEGIN WITH YOGA RETREAT — Tulum, Mexico is a six-day immersive Ashtanga Yoga experience designed for beginner to intermediate practitioners who feel called to dive deeper into their practice and explore the roots of the traditional Ashtanga method.
Set in the heart of the Mayan jungle, this accessible retreat welcomes students who are curious, committed, and open to learning — not just the postures, but the breath, rhythm, and inner discipline that shape a sustainable practice. This experience is for those ready to reconnect with themselves, deepen their understanding, and experience yoga as a lived practice — far beyond the mat.
Held at the stunning Amaite Retreat Centre in Tulum, this Soul Destinations retreat invites you to step away from daily life and into a space of simplicity, nature, and intentional living. Surrounded by lush jungle, cenotes, and ancient wisdom, you’ll be supported through daily Ashtanga Yoga guided and Mysore practices, pranayama, workshops, and cultural experiences — all carefully curated to nourish both body and spirit.
This retreat is rooted in the Ashtanga tradition as taught at Energie EnCorps: accessible, respectful, and community-driven. Whether you are newer to the practice or already established in your practice, you’ll be guided in a way that honors where you are — with space to grow, explore, and build confidence in a supportive, non-competitive environment.
Come alone or with a friend. Practice deeply. Rest fully. Reconnect — with yourself and with a like-minded community from around the world. This is more than a retreat. It’s an invitation to begin again. From the inside out.
Why come on a retreat with us?
Nature, Nourishment, and Presence
Practicing in lush jungle surroundings, enjoying wholesome meals, and stepping away from screens allows the body to soften, the mind to quiet, and presence to naturally return.
Shared practice creates genuine connection. You’re held in a supportive, human community — returning home steadied, inspired, and deeply rooted in your practice.
