One Breath of Yoga Ashram
Practice, nourish, and unwind in the jungle
Morning practice sets the pace at this intimate ashram, where Ashtanga yoga unfolds amid the greenery of the Mayan jungle outside Puerto Morelos. The program also includes medicinal ceremonies and purification rituals, with the center aiming to give practitioners a secure setting for study and self-realization. Its owner-managed scale makes the experience feel personal rather than resort-like. After yoga, guests receive a superfood smoothie; the main meal is served in the evening and follows a raw vegan approach. A shared kitchen lets visitors keep snacks or prepare additional food, and vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free dietary options are noted. When practice gives way to exploration, Puerto Morelos beach is close enough to reach on foot, by bicycle, or by scooter. The grounds include a pool, yoga studio, and free Wi-Fi. Cancún International Airport is roughly 21 km away. Check the website for retreat dates and current prices.
