Connect With Your Inner Essence & Thrive: Yoga, Meditation, and Ceremonies in Mexico 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

Details

Day 1

Begin your wellness journey in beautiful Chemuyil, Mexico

Feel the shining sun on your skin as soon as you step off the plane in Mexico! Your wellness journey begins today, and you have 6 days of yoga, meditation, workshops, and intensive healing ahead of you. Let's get to it! After you check into your eco resort in Chemuyil, you'll have a bit of time to relax and adjust to the vibrations of this amazing location before heading to dinner. We'll close out the day with an opening circle where we can discuss our feelings and set intentions for the progress we'd like to see while we're here.

Day 2

Engage your soul with yoga, meditation, and more

Good morning! It's an absolutely perfect day here in Chemuyil, and Mother Nature seems to be inviting you into her arms to work towards a thriving, empowered future. We'll begin the day with a session of yoga and meditation where you can release your inhibitions and feel the sacred connection between your body and mind. Another workshop after breakfast will allow you to dive deeper into introspection, remembering your place in the universe and feeling the flow of nature. Before dinner, we'll meet once again for a restorative yoga session with guided meditation to stretch, release, and calm.

Day 3

Participate in an authentic cacao ceremony

Rise to another day full of opportunities for rest and growth. We'll once again begin the day with yoga, meditation, and a workshop before some free time in the afternoon. During this time, you are welcome to do whatever your soul is calling for. Remember, rest is a sacred form of self-compassion; don't be afraid to give your spirit what it wants. Before the day ends, we'll have a cacao ceremony, an ancient practice that holds a wealth of cultural importance in this area of the world. Known for curative powers, cacao ceremonies tend to be transformative. Enter it with an open heart and see where it takes you!

Day 4

Surround yourself with powerful vibrations in a sound healing session

After a night of restful, deep sleep, you'll awaken to a feeling of serenity and peace. During your session of morning yoga, focus on releasing whatever tension and stress you might be carrying with you – on this retreat, you have nothing to worry about. Then, in the evening, we'll have a sound healing session. Based around the inherent power of vibration, this session will produce a remarkable level of mental focus and clarity that will help you locate your inner guidance system. Finally, a delicious and hearty dinner will finish up our day.

Day 5

Spend your last full day in Mexico with a sacred temazcal sweat lodge session

Today brings something entirely different. We'll have our regular morning routine of yoga, meditation, and a workshop, but the second half of the day will be dedicated to a temazcal ceremony at a Mayan sanctuary. Temazcal is an ancient sweat lodge practice that helps you remove negativity from within you, leaving you free to move forward confidently and unencumbered. Doing temazcal in a Mayan sanctuary makes the experience much more spiritually powerful, and you'll feel the impact of this ancestral healing session long after you return home.

Day 6

Check out of your eco resort and return home feeling fully rejuvenated

Our time in Mexico has finally come to an end. We’ll meet as a group one last time to reflect on our experiences in the form of a closing circle. From here, we’ll prepare for our journey home with breakfast and say our goodbyes. Thank you so much for joining us, and we hope you're feeling completely rejuvenated!
