Things to do (optional)
Mayan egg massage and spiritual reading
The incredible island offers tradition that is nothing short of incredible. Marta, the local shaman, will provide a massage using an egg (and of course her hands) and then open the egg to read the findings. It is a truly incredible experience, only found on Isla Mujeres. The cost is 80 USD.
Snorkeling
Students often take advantage of getting out on the water on their free day! Kootenay Yoga School will arrange a private boat to pick you up and take you to the beautiful underwater museum, to the reef, to the lighthouse, and to Playa Norte. The trip is wonderful. It is great to be together as a group in another way! The cost is 60 USD.
Playa Norte
Students can taxi to Playa Norte, one of the world's most beautiful beaches, for less than 15 USD (both ways). The taxi ride is less than 15 minutes each way - making it a lovely option for over a lunch break!
Note
Kootenay Yoga School’s onsite team will be available at all times to help you arrange any activities you might like - these are just the tip of the list, the sky is the limit! Isla Mujeres has something for everyone!
