Rejoice in paradise with yoga retreats in Mexico
Why Choose a Yoga Retreat in Mexico?
Few other destinations are as colorful, complex, and vibrant as this lovely country. Featuring mountain regions, plenty of beaches, and seaside resorts (especially on its Caribbean coast); delicious food and drinks, charming music and festivals, ancient ruins, and cultural heritage sites, Mexico seems to have it all.
And if all this wasn’t enough to make it a perfect place for yogis, you should know that scholars who explored the ancient heritage of the Mayan civilization found some resemblance between its principles and those of yoga. The principle of the 5 elements is practically the same as the one in yoga philosophy.
And even though this isn’t enough to claim the ancient Mayans had developed a form of yoga of their own, the similarity could explain in part why yoga has caught on so fast in modern-day Mexico. They’re the pillars that explain why Mexico has become one of the top destinations for yoga holidays.
Most retreats are held in paradisiacal places where you can participate in sacred ceremonies, savor the mouth-watering local cuisine, or just chill by its glorious beaches. Plus, it offers tons of different activities to inspire you to become a better yogi, relax and enjoy the moment.
