Wonder How a Mexican Yoga Retreat Makes You Feel?
Last week, I lead an awesome CorePrana yoga & pilates retreat in Tulum with co-teacher Jordanna Dworkin. This week, I've landed at a little oasis called Genesis Retreat in Ek Balam, right outside of the Yucatan's oldest city, Valladolid. I'm in a room called the "birdhouse." It's a small second story cabana style room with a queen size 'floating' bed suspended from all four corners. Pretty cool.

Slaves to the Waves in Costa Rica with Kula

SOME freaks, however, will take you on a shamanic journey to the depths of your soul, and ALSO give you the surfing, yoga, organic food, and massages. Nevermind the howler monkeys, macaws, and mangoes, and the interesting cross-section of very limber New Yorkers....
