Copal Retreat Imagine waking up to the sound of waves crashing outside your window. You stretch and stroll out onto the sunny patio, where your yoga buddy greets you for your morning workout. This is retreat life at Copal Retreat Center. Nestled in luxurious beachfront villas in the Mexican Riviera Maya town of Pamul, this is truly a getaway that allows you to reconnect with nature and yourself.
What to do: Copal Retreat hosts many different themed group retreats throughout the year, each with a different guest yoga teacher. While each resort is unique, guests can look forward to staying in a luxurious beachfront villa that offers kayaks and paddle boards for recreational use. Food is prepared by an in-house chef who uses local, sustainable ingredients to create healthy meals while maintaining traditional Mexican cooking. At least two yoga classes are taught daily, and excursions include trips to ancient Mayan ruins and cenotes deep in the jungle.
What we like: Unrivaled beach access. Not only does Copal Retreat have a private white sand beach just 3 minutes’ walk from the public beach, but at the right time of year you can also spot turtles and iguanas.

Hridaya Yoga, located in the beach town of Mazut, Oaxaca, is a true example of a sangha, or yoga community. More than just a retreat, it’s a place where yogis from all over the world live, teach and serve others. Although Hridaya Yoga offers yoga classes, they are known for their silent meditation retreats. Each retreat retreat introduces guests to the goal of Hridaya Yoga: to live with a truly open heart.
Program: Meditation retreats at Hridaya Yoga come in different lengths. Guests can sign up for a monthly three-day retreat, ten-day retreat, seventeen-day retreat, or a 49-day retreat for advanced yogis dedicated to meditation. Each day’s itinerary includes a two-hour morning retreat, breakfast, morning yoga philosophy lecture, afternoon meditation, dinner, and evening meditation. Teaches various meditation methods, including Sufi and Tibetan Buddhism.
What we like: With its incredibly low prices, Hridaya Yoga adheres to the true yoga principles of aparigraha, or non-greediness. The retreat center also has its own
