Facilities

Welcome to Live Breathe Yoga Ventures. They are so excited you are joining them in their aerial yoga teacher training. Please make sure you are building up your strength for your upcoming classes. Remember to bend more, breathe less!

Live Breathe yoga team has put together an enchanting program for you that includes daily yoga in the rooftop palapa overlooking the Caribbean Sea, meditation, and healing massages. You will take part in an unforgettable sunrise meditation on the oceanfront cliffs at Punta Sur, home of the Mayan Goddess Ixchel. You will have the opportunity to swim, snorkel, paddleboard, and kayak among a multitude of brightly colored tropical fish, and thoroughly enjoy all that the crystal blue island waters offer.

This retreat has been designed with all of the vital elements to help you decompress and realign with your North Star. Therefore, Live Breathe Yoga built in plenty of time for R and R. So if you're feeling ambitious you'll be able to spend your free time wandering the famous Hidalgo Street, exploring the island via golf cart, and visiting some of the most beautiful white sandy beaches in the world. Or if you're in need of more quiet time and introspection, you can take advantage of the pool, king garden, private beach, rooftop palapa, or retreat to your room to unwind, relax, catch up on sleep, read, journal, etc.

These 6 days are dedicated to your well-being, so Live Breathe Yoga has taken everything into consideration. You deserve a break from having to plan, so they've created a truly all-inclusive experience, from luxury accommodations and gourmet meals to airport transportation and all gratuities, and everything in between.

Live Breathe Yoga hope that you'll seize this opportunity to unplug from the craziness that is life, recharge your battery, and reconnect with what's most important. And unlike most vacations, you'll return home revitalized, with a renewed sense of energy, passion, and higher purpose.

About Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres is a small island located only 8 miles off the eastern shore of Cancun. This picturesque Caribbean island moves at an idyllic pace compared with Cancun, which you will feel crossing the bay. This makes the location ideal for inexpensive flights into Cancún International Airport and a short 20-minute ferry ride from Puerto Juarez.

With the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other, it's no wonder that Isla Mujeres is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You'll think you've found paradise as you enjoy the balmy temperatures and relax on completely on the island's silky white sand next to the deep turquoise and blue waters.

At just over 4 miles long and only around 1/2 a mile wide, it’s a tiny Mexican outpost with a Caribbean flavor and a special place in Mayan history. The name of the island is Spanish for "Island of the Women". Isla Mujeres was so named because of the presence of female stone idols found in temples on the island when Conqueror Francisco Hernández de Cordoba arrived in 1517.

All the healthy, local, gourmet cuisines are prepared by the fabulous and famous Coco B culinary team and their creative chef. Think fresh squeezed local juices/smoothies, local organic produce, regional specialties, and seasonal island offerings, all prepared with special attention to nutrition.
