Align & Thrive: 6-Day Wellness Retreat in Tulum with Kayla

Your TourHero

Hero Kayla Freudenberg

After living nomadically for several years, I found my forever home in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (very near to our retreat location!). I am thrilled to share this majestic part of the world with others through the medium of Yoga and Meditation.

I have taught yoga, meditation, and holistic wellness at yoga studios and retreat centers both domestically (in the US) and internationally-- these experiences have ushered in gifts that continue to bloom as the years roll on. Now, I want to pass along the tools I’ve gathered to my community; my goal is to never place limitations on what that will look like or the forms my community will take.

My styles of teaching in regard to Asana include Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, & Restorative. In regard to Meditation, I guide my students primarily based on the principles of Instinctive Meditation, as learned by my mentors Dr. Lorin Roche & Camille Maurine of The Radiance Sutras School of Meditation, but I also teach from the Metta, or loving-kindness perspective as well. Additionally, I enjoy weaving in workshops on ayurveda, asana alignment, health-supportive cooking, creative writing, & women’s circles.

I hold 700 hours of certifications in yoga (via YogaWorks), and meditation (via The Radiance Sutras School of Meditation). Additionally, I am a graduate of The Natural Epicurean’s Professional Chef program and a certified Barre instructor. I am blessed to be on this ever-evolving journey of sharing and growing with all those I have come across on this path. Together, may we access our path of highest good, abundance, and connection to our own divine nature.

I believe wholeheartedly in the wonderful forces that bring us all together. Now, let’s create some magic and elevate each other!

With Love,
Kayla
