New Year’s Yoga Vacation in Mexico
with Tara Sherman, Coleen Elwood & Mary Bue
December 28, 2025 - January 4, 2026 | Puerto Morelos, Mexico
Sun. Warmth. Yoga. Ring in the New Year like never before with a yoga vacation that welcomes you and your loved ones to the sleepy fishing village of Puerto Morelos in sunny Mexico!
Enjoy gentle and soulful yoga practices, a private concert, shamanic journeying, and a New Year's day ritual to set your intentions in motion. Leisurely walks on the beach, dips in the private pool, and delicious cuisine catered by Dora, owner of John Gray’s Kitchen. You may also enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving in the world's 2nd longest reef just 200 yards offshore which has recently been made into a national park reserve, adding on an adventure to a cenote, or luxuriating in bodywork to ring in 2025 refreshed.
Puerto Morelos is located just 20 minutes south (and a world away) from Cancun as it has avoided most of the expansion that's happened in the area in the last 20 years. Our vacation location Villas Shanti has long been home to yoga retreats and is located just 1 block from the beach.
Your guides Tara Cindy Sherman, Coleen Elwood, and Mary Bue are seasoned retreat hosts and spiritual aspirants, and bring peace, love, and a little rock and roll. Expect deep conversations and a lot of laughter.
Yoga, Ceremony & Rejuvenation
Enjoy an opening and closing ceremony, 2 yoga practices daily except Wednesday when you have a free day for sacred rest or exploration. There are many options to choose from, a few of which are the Ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum and Coba that are within a one to one and half hour drive, the amazing ruins of Chichen Itza which are 3 hours away, or great shopping in Playa del Carmen just 30 minutes away.
