Mi Vida Yoga Retreats

Renee and Dani are exceptional hosts. They have set a high bar for the future retreats that I attend. The food was amazing, I never went hungry. The property, Cachito de Cielo, is beautiful and tucked into the jungle, a cool refuge from the intense sun - but beware that the last road to this property is bumpy. The acro yoga was so much fun, a great way to start a yoga retreat and connect with the other participants. The breathwork was a weird but awesome experience. Overall a 10 out of 10. Beware that you might cry but you will definitely be laughing!

I’m not quite sure how to fully capture how special this retreat was. Renée and Dani are incredibly kind, authentic people, and the success of the retreat is a testament to their hard work, talent, and compassion.

The whole experience was thoughtfully organised from start to finish. The yoga sessions were fantastic and held in beautiful settings. Renée is a wonderful teacher who offered options for different levels (and the head massages during savasana were amazing!). Dani’s breathwork sessions were equally special—especially the holotropic session, which was a moving experience. I also loved trying acro yoga and found the personal development sessions really valuable.

Onto the food... where to begin?! Our chef Sol created the most incredible, delicious meals. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so well in my life!

I don’t often use the phrase “life-changing,” but this retreat genuinely was. I left feeling more positive, motivated, and grateful for the meaningful friendships formed along the way. The jungle setting, wildlife, and outings to the beach, cenote, and lagoon made the week even more magical (including meeting a crocodile named Panchito!).

This experience far exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Renée and Dani, for creating such an open, welcoming space. Joining this retreat was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I honestly can’t fault anything. I had such an amazing time I wish there was an option to stay longer!

This was such a special, transformational experience for me. Renee and Dani are incredible hosts and created such a safe, holding space for all of us to grow in the ways we each needed to. The morning and evening yoga classes outside were divine and the personal development was a great element to integrate both what I came to accomplish and what I discovered throughout the retreat. The general flow of the retreat was perfect - a great balance of yoga/activities and free time.

The sound healing/breathwork is not to be missed - WOW. And the acro yoga was soo fun and such a great way to become closer as a group. The cacao ceremony was deeply special (and loved that it got moved to the end instead of the beginning to really honor our journeys and step forward powerfully back into the world.)

I really loved that Renee and Dani hired locals for all of the activities (acro yoga, sound healing, cacao ceremony) whom really integrated and celebrated Mexican and Mayan culture, making it a much more respectful, authentic, meaningful experience.

The retreat is thoughtful, intentional, fun, authentic, and overall an awesome choice.

Highly highly highly recommend!!

This retreat was everything I had hoped for and more! The accommodations were comfortable and spacious. A blend of yoga, cultural experiences, local exploration, nature, personal development and social time made the experience beyond wonderful. I could not have asked for a better group of women and the organizers were so kind and hospitable. I felt cared for, safe and truly connected. I felt relaxed and my heart was so full of love and joy when I left!

The hosts are simply amazing, kind, encouraging people. The other women on the retreat were so friendly and welcoming. Lovely house, more than enough space for everyone. The retreat was packed full of activities. The personal development aspect was huge! I feel I grew so much as a person at this retreat in such a short time. My heart was bursting with joy by the end :)

I'm not typically vegetarian, but I quite enjoyed the food! Servings were plentiful. Just an overall lovely experience.

Myself and several others in our group are already talking about returning next year.

Renee and Dani are wonderful human beings! I am so glad to have had the opportunity to make these memories with them :)

It was a beautiful experience, the lodging, the schedule of events, the excursions, the people, the food...it was all well organized and a good balance of downtown time and activities. It was very restful yet full of new experiences!

Everything was so great! Thanks to Renée and Dani for their kindness and generosity. The yoga classes were really nice (sunset, beach, lagoon...), meditation were well guided and so useful. Thanks to Sofia for the delicious and the variety of food. I've disconnected and reconnected with myself, such an amazing trip!

- Die Gruppengrösse war super und ich hatte sehr viel Glück mit den tollen Gruppenmitgliedern, welche ich kennenlernen durfte.

- Das Essen war immer sehr gut. Sie nehmen Rücksicht auf sämtliche Allergien / Ernährungsformen.

- Das Programm war abwechslungsreich und man konnte einiges von Tulum gesehen.

- Das Haus ist in einem sehr sicheren Viertel, man braucht keine Angst zu haben.

Renee and Danny were excellent! Loved the Acro Yoga, Sound Bath and live music! Also loved yoga at the lake, snorkeling in the senote, and art walk! Also loved the healthy, fresh, vegan meals, early morning yoga and evening sunset yoga every day and meditation! By week's end, felt de-stressed and relaxed.

This retreat was everything my wife and I needed it to be! We came home feeling lighter and refreshed. The food was great, the people were amazing and the yoga was perfect. There was plenty of downtime everyday for us to explore but the adventures that were planned were top notch!

Everything about this retreat exceeded expectations and Renée did a wonderful job of hosting. There was a wide variety of yoga, meditation, and self development/personal growth exercises. There was a great balance of structure and free time - lots of yoga-related experiences and opportunity to visit local attractions - and the pace never felt rushed. The group was small and diverse; I enjoyed getting to know everyone. The food, location, and accommodation was excellent. Would certainly recommend for anyone travelling to Mexico and looking for a unique experience - even if you’re new to yoga or travelling solo.

The yoga classes were tailored to our collective energy level, Renee is an expert host, teacher and zen maker, loved the diversity of activities outside of the villa like the cenote and lake excursions, singing bowls and live music talent was phenomenal and overall pace of each day was perfect. Plenty of bottled water always available and meals were unique and delicious.

Renee de Roo made our retreat very special by exposing us to different kinds of experiences. Two evenings she surprised us with yogis who provided sound bath while doing yoga. We were exposed to acro yoga & doing yoga on the Pier at Laguna Lake.

We shopped in Tulum, & Renee was very patient with us who were born to shop.

Renee is a person who reflects what you can be if you study yoga over time.

A great deal of thanks to her, Dennie, & Sofia. All of them worked very hard to please our great group of guests.

Collegiality and location

This retreat was just what I needed. Renee was an amazing instructor and kept good energy throughout the retreat. There was a nice balance of yoga, meditation, personal growth and play. The activities she planned away from the property allowed us to experience Tulum but still keep our zen. The trip to the lagoon was breathtaking, definitely a unique experience that you can't do anywhere. I was lucky to join a group of strangers that were all incredibly welcoming and genuinely supported each other's growth... making the trip extra special. Creating memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

As a foodie, I was a bit concerned about having one chef for the week as I figured the food would be healthy and boring. I was wrong, Sofia exceeded my expectations! She created dishes from scratch and continued to surprise us with unique pairings ... like shredded zucchini mole and fresh celery soup!

I look forward to experiencing another retreat with Renee soon. I even built it in as a reward in my goal setting to help keep me motivated. Thank you Renee and Sofia for sharing your energy with us, it was truly amazing.

The retreat was amazing! Renée is a lovely and smiling person. She showed us the beautiful surroundings. The daily journaling helped me to realize a lot of things. The food was delicious !!! It was a beautiful experience meeting wonderful people. Thank you.

Fantastic retreat. Very detailed in experiences between yoga, meditation, food, workshops and local trips 👌

This retreat came at the perfect time. Renee is a gem. Sophia cooked amazing vegetarian meals. The excursions were beautiful and healing.

Renèe is such a wonderful women. She knows exactly what she is doing and always got a plan. She is very patience and always friendly. She makes sure everyone feels welcome and gives the group room to grow. At anytime she made sure everyone is involved by the activities or ceremonies.

I went back to back weeks at this retreat and was so happy I did!

Renee has a great personality and a light friendly energy about her, makes you feel at ease right away.

The food is amazing and plentiful. I'm not vegetarian, but that week, I didn't care that I ate no meat.

The yoga helped heal my injured shoulder. Renee was able to give me modifications to use.

My personal favourite was spending quality time with like minded yoga travelers from around the world. It brought me new friendships that maintained even after the yoga retreat!

I got to see what life would be like living in tuluum as a yoga traveler. We got to go into town many times and go into the yoga studios in tuluum.

Now that I'm back home I feel rejuvenated and recharged!

I had the most amazing time! Renee is the best host and is interested in providing participants with a great experience in Tulum as well as helping with their personal growth.

The food was truly the best vegetarian food I have tasted so far and prepared with so much love! Thank you Renee and Sofia for the most wonderful time!

I enjoyed my stay sooo much and can only recommend everyone to book this retreat. You will return home full of love and happiness.

Thank you for everything!!! :)

De locaties van de yogalessen

This retreat was more than just a yoga getaway. Renee put together a very transformative experience from two daily yoga sessions, to entertainment the first night we arrived, to sound healing sessions, various types of yoga (yin, vinyasa, acro) not to mention beautiful vegetarian meals that were so very delicious. What makes this retreat different from others is it also has a personal growth and coaching aspect. Anyone can get away for a few days, but to bring the transformative experience home with you and integrate it into your life at home is the goal. The friends and connections I made were very special. I can’t wait to go back!
