Tulum, Mexico Retreat
March 15-20, 2024
Uplift & Expand in Tulum 2024
Join us for the Spring Equinox this coming March for a profound journey to Tulum, Mexico, where you will uplift and expand into your higher potentials of self and Life. Last year’s retreat to Tulum surpassed our wildest expectations - from an epic thunderstorm temezcal to amazing healthful food every meal, great conversations and company to ancient cenotes and mayan ruins - so… we are going back for more!
Create lifetime highlight memories with us… waking up to early morning beach walks, perfectly fresh fruit (who knew papaya could be SO amazing!) with a Breath+Oneness crew favorite Chia Seed & Coconut Pudding, gentle breath and movement practice, and then spend your days in periods of activity and rest, inquiry and reflection, together time and alone time, go on afternoon adventures or stay on property for chill time so that you can fully land within yourself… all held deeply within the raw beauty of the jungle…
For any questions about the retreat please email Carrie at: carrie@breathandoneness.com
“The retreat was exceptional in every way. The yoga, the events, Tulum, the delicious food and Amansala and their amazing staff. We arrived as strangers and left as sisters with a special bond… Carrie and Leslie did an exceptional job coordinating so many details with professionalism and care for every detail. Bay-O!”
— Laura L.
“I loved the retreat and destination and there is nothing I would change. My favorite aspects were the food, the beach and definitely the people. The staff was so friendly and they really took care of me… I really would love to go back again. It was so healing and I loved how close everything was to our room. I also really enjoyed your yoga classes… the energy of our group during our yoga sessions was fire. I really felt that extra push in me and it was from the collective energy. Overall it was a really great experience and I felt at home while on vacation. I love Mexico!”

The Perfect Place to Return to the Sacred
AMANSALA is one of the leading retreats centers in the world, located just 2 hours south of Cancun, famous for it's Mayan Ruins, beautiful beaches, hidden cenotes, and lush jungle. It has been described as ROBINSON CRUSE MEETS ECO CHIC and is more like staying at a friend's beach house than a hotel. Amansala is located on the Riviera Maya... between the pristine blue ocean and the emerald green tropical forests and jungles, it is nature in all of its splendor. Think of paradise in these terms: laying in a hammock under the shade of a palm tree, gazing upon beautiful white beaches, sipping a cool drink, and enjoying the warm but refreshing breeze caressing your skin.
Come Home to Yourself & Your Practice
Yoga every morning and evening, from gentle wake-up flows to more invigorating and strength-building practices, we will also be meditating, journaling, breathing, and sounding/toning throughout our time together. Come home to your most authentic and radiant self.
Supporting Your Uplift
Our journey together will include a sound healing with local musicians and healers, bike tour to local Mayan ruins, a ceremonial Temazcal (steam bath) for detoxification and purification and daily practices in yoga, breath, and toning with Carrie Arlah.

Deepen into relationship with like-mind people and form lasting bonds that support you on the path to uplift!
“I adored the resort, Amansala, and their organization with excursions and activities, their knowledge of the spiritual environment, and their sacred practices. Tulum has a magic about her that is without words, cannot be told, yet must be experienced. The resort was accommodating, healthy food, and a wonderful environment to just be.”

“Going on this retreat was life changing for me. It gave me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and experience the nurturing land that is Tulum. Carrie was a wonderful retreat guide. I am new to yoga and she made me feel very comfortable during our sessions. Our group really bonded with her direction and encouragement. I look forward to next year's retreat!”
— Beverly R.
“With an open heart and quieted mind, I would love to highly recommend going on the Tulum retreat with Carrie. There is so much to say about the experience itself but I want to just highlight the warmth and wonderfulness of Carrie’s yoga and gift of holding a sacred spiritual practice was life altering. She is a true gift and to spend time within that space together, is a rare treat.
Tulum is a fast changing, spiritual Mecca as well. Lots of amazing natural and ancient wonders to explore and experience. It is the perfect spot to get released, cracked open and push through some old boundaries.”
— Rebecca H.
