Day of the Dead
Absorb the aromas, colors, and traditions of the Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) celebrations, to remember the loved ones we have lost, and celebrate their life and the legacy that they have left behind. It is a celebration declared as a Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
Day of the Dead is a two-day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create offerings to honor their departed family members who have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored.
If obliged, bring in a picture of lost loved ones and an object that represents them to include them in a unique Ofrenda in the retreat center to celebrate them throughout the week.

Show
Raised in Northern Mexico, a small city called Tampico, where the love of being close to the sea found a way into his heart. He developed his passion for bodily movement and the interaction between body and mind through Martial Arts, loving both the traditional aspect and the competition. Ricardo began yoga to improve his alignment in Calisthenics as well as proper breathing in Martial Arts and immediately fell in love with its focus on balancing body and mind. He is new to teaching yoga, but an old soul with years in martial arts and mind body connection.
Retreat location
Copal Retreat is located on an ocean-front Villa in the Mexican Riviera Maya. The rooftop studio space offers panoramic views of the beautiful Caribbean ocean - perfect for a sunrise or sunset practice.
The Villa is located near Tulum, a small beach town an hour away from the Cancun International Airport. All of the private suites are steps away from the pool, a relaxing space with an ocean breeze and view that cohabitates beautifully with the Caribbean tropics. There is an abundance of coconut palm trees, tropical flowers, sea shells, weathered limestone, hermit crabs, iguanas, and pelicans, plus a galaxy's worth of stars at night to gaze up at.
Five minutes south of La Villa - on a rugged bike path through the jungle, lies a turtle sanctuary. This ungroomed and seaweedy isolated beach is the perfect spot to soak up some sun in peace To the north of Copal - about a two-minute walk away, lies another beautiful beach with white powdered sand and fabulous margaritas.
