My Top Rated Mexico Yoga Retreat
VINYASA YOGA & SOUND HEALING RETREAT
Price from: $1695
Number of nights: 6
Yoga Style: Vinyasa
Location: San Pancho
This yoga and sound healing retreat in San Pancho Mexico gets my number one spot for 2023. It’s taking place from the 18th of March in one of my favorite little villages in Mexico, San Pancho (San Francisco). When most people search to do a yoga retreat in Mexico they instantly look to the Riviera Maya and places like Tulum. But in my personal experience there is nothing that beats the energy of the Pacific coast of Mexico for those seeking a healing and spiritual path.
On this retreat, you will be surrounded by jungle and have a much more ‘off the grid’ kind of experience than you can expect to get at a yoga retreat Tulum. The retreat is suitable for complete beginners through to more advanced yogis. If you are looking to do some real healing work in 2023 then this is the retreat for you. It’s got ceremonies, sound healing, yoga, vocal work, and so much more.
DAILY SAMPLE SCHEDULE
- 7.30 Light breakfast
- 9.30 – Vinyasa Yoga
- 11.00 – Reflection/ Relaxation time
- 12.00 – Lunch
- 16.00 – Meet your voice – Vocal Workshop
- 19.00 – Dinner

Yoga Retreat That Includes Plant Medicine One Breath Of Yoga
My number two spot goes to One Breath of Yoga in Puerto Morelos. If you don’t know where that is, it sits just between Cancun and Playa del Carmen and it’s a smaller more peaceful version of Playa. The ashram is located outside of the town in the jungle, and it’s stunning. I’ve not stayed there personally, but I have visited to do Plant Medicine and I know the yoga teachers who lead the retreats (they are wonderful).
In the Ashram, they practice Ashtanga and Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. You will eat a vegan and raw food diet (all included), have access to weekly temazcals (Mayan sweat lodge), and as well as your daily yoga practice you can also choose to do a variety of Plant Medicines with a local shaman (who I also know personally and highly recommend). This is of course optional.
You can learn more about their 7 day yoga retreats Mexico here, or if you were thinking of doing your yoga teacher training in Mexico they also offer a YTT 200 in Ashtanga Vinyasa click to learn more here.
Private Yoga Retreat In Mexico
My dear friend Maria offers personalized and private retreats on the beautiful Island of Cozumel through her Mexico yoga retreat company Quiet Transformation. She also offers some small (COVID-friendly) group retreats throughout the year. What I love about the retreats that Maria offers is that they can be completely catered to you and your needs. Want to combine your yoga retreat with ScubaDiving one of the largest reefs in the world, you got it! Or maybe you want to really pamper yourself and have more of a spa retreat with massages and facials included, Maria can organize that for you.
Maria uses her deep knowledge in yoga, meditation, and radical self-care to help you to jumpstart your personal transformation and hold your hand along the way. It’s also worth mentioning that Maria is also a specialist in working with chronic pain (especially migraines, back pain, and more), and many of her retreats actually focus on helping people to relieve these problems.
For more information about joining one of Maria’s upcoming retreats, or organizing a personal yoga retreat, complete the form below and Maria will be in touch with you very soon.
Tulum Yoga Retreats
There is no shortage of Tulum Mexico yoga retreats, seriously! Just take a wander around the beach road and you will see an advert for yoga classes and retreats every few meters! Tulum and yoga go hand in hand. But be warned, because Tulum is such a well-known name as a beach yoga retreat venue you have to be careful to not overpay. Accommodation here can vary greatly from a tent on the beach to luxury 5* resorts, so be sure to look carefully before booking anything.
Each of the Tulum yoga retreats I’ve picked has great reviews and are good value for money as most of them as flexible retreats, so you can arrive any day of the week and in between yoga Tulum classes you are free to explore the local area. You can read all my Tulum posts here for extra inspiration.

Beach Yoga Vacations Mexico
Do you want to spend your practicing yoga on the beach in Mexico? Then one of these beach yoga retreats Mexico is for you.

Mexico Entry Requirements
It is important to note there will be some sort of paperwork that will need to be filled out to enter Mexico. Most travelers will only need the FMM tourist card to enter Mexico, but some will have to get a visa. This depends on your nationality. Natvisa.com provides an easy online application for the FMM tourist card and has good info on entry restrictions due to the pandemic. If you plan to stay longer than 6 months in Mexico then you will need to apply for Mexican residency
Yoga Travel Guide Planning
🧘♀️ Where can I look for the best Yoga Retreats?
I always use BookYogaRetreats when planning my Yoga Retreats Journey. You can select by region and there are many options whether you want to do it online or not.
🧳 Any recommendations on what I should pack in my Yoga Retreats?
Yes! I have created an idea list of what you should pack when leaving for your Yoga Retreats. You can check the full list here
📚 What books would you recommend to someone who wants to learn more about Yoga?
There are so many books I can recommend for you who’s just starting out or an advanced Yogi. I have the full list for you here.
🚗 Where can I book bus or private transportation while I’m traveling?
I strongly recommend using Bookaway. You can book almost all transport in the major tourist destinations through them online. They don’t just cover buses they also cover shuttles, ferries, and private drivers.
👩⚕️ What is the best insurance to have while traveling?
I recommend using Heymondo for a great value policy. The app also offers you 24/7 Dr Chat. For Digital Nomads check out SafetyWing digital nomad insurance.
I have also written a blog post covering all my recommended travel insurance here
✈️ Any flight recommendations?
WayAWay offers you cheap flights with cashback. You can use this code CLAIRE22 to get 10% off. Otherwise Skyscanner or Expedia are my go-to flight searching platforms.
📱What do you use for internet connection while traveling?
I’m a big fan of personal WiFi devices and they have saved my ass so many times when traveling. I wrote a full review of the top travel WiFi devices you can read here. I personally use GlocalMe as I can either pop in a physical sim card or use their local carrier.
With regards to my phone connection, I use e-sims while traveling, so rather than having to swap out my regular sim card I can download the app and buy a virtual sim card. I recommend using eitherAirhub or Alosim. Both have great coverage of multiple countries and are very easy to use.
🛏️ What is the best platform to use for booking accommodation?
The 3 best platforms that I normally use are Booking.com, Hotels.com, and Expedia They offer great deals and multiple options. I always check all three to be sure of the best deals.
🛅 Do you have any luggage recommendations for traveling?
I do have a complete list of the best packing and luggage products that I recommend, you can check the list here. I’m currently traveling with this suitcase and this backpack.
