Yoga Retreat Center in the Mayan Jungle of Mexico

I usually don’t write reviews, but couldn’t skip this one. I initially found this place on a search for Ashtanga yoga lessons during my upcoming Mexico trip. I am a dedicated Ashtanga practitioner and was looking forward to learn from such an experienced teacher as Coco is. I checked all the pictures and information and reviews and was quite sure that I am going to have great time there. Little did I know how special this place and people I met there will become to me and how transformative the week spent in this beautiful jungle-based ashram will be. I don’t have enough words to describe the peace and love and happiness and joy that surround you when you are in this place. If you found it and feel the call to go, don’t hesitate, but please please do it with trust and open heart as this place is truly special. Be it Ashtanga lessons or just accommodation in the jungle or food or wellness activities or ceremonies if it’s what you’re looking for - all of it is done with great professionalism and care and love by very kind and talented in their areas people with big hearts. I came for Ashtanga but ended up receiving a lot more, some of which I couldn’t call anything else but sacred gifts and the meaning of which in my life I am yet to discover. All people who come to this place call it home and become a family and it’s truly amazing and is like home for your spirit. I have never met so many beautiful souls in one place as here - our retreat group, other friends visiting, musicians, light workers. I would like to personally name and thank each of the team - Foko for delicious food, Alex for all her admin support, and beautiful music and songs, Millie, Nora and Max for being there for us and taking such a good care of us, Ale for her incredible massages and energy and beautiful cacao ceremony, Maci for being such a kind and supportive person and gifted healer, Pamela, for her wisdom and joy and sense of humor and music and everything that she gives to participants and of course our dear dear Coco thank you so much from all my heart for everything that you generously gave during this retreat, its preparation and after care, you are incredibly special person and amazing Ashtanga teacher and what you created here is unique and something that this world desperately requires in my opinion, wish you a lot of health and love and success. Hope to be back for teacher training! Needless to say that I recommended this place 100%.

There are not words to describe the feeling at One Breath. It’s a feeling of support, community, acceptance that I haven’t felt before. Coco, Pamela, and the entire family are amazing people. I want to thank them from every inch of my being. This world needs a space like this with the family that they have built. Thank you One Breath!!

With the One Breath of Yoga Ashram, Coco and her team have created a sanctuary woven from love and inspiration. After my first stay in February 2025, I felt called back again in July — not merely as a returning guest, but as someone coming home: not only to the warmth of a community that has become like family, but in a deeper, almost mystical sense, a homecoming of the soul. Ashtanga and ceremonies, meditation, and the special alchemy of the Ashram’s vegan cuisine create a space where the mind can rest and the spirit is invited to move. Through meeting Coco and all the luminous hearts that gather there, a space opened — in the most unexpected and tender way — where I could meet myself anew. The energy of this place is not only healing — it truly reshapes you from within. Its light will stay with me, as something that has quietly, but radically changed my life.

I have attended multiple retreats at One Breath of Yoga and they have all been absolutely amazing in every way. The yoga, food, and ceremonies are filled with so much intention and love. It’s a hidden gem in the Mayan jungle that emanates unconditional love, acceptance, and family. This is the perfect place for anyone who is looking to make profound changes in their life and to grow into the next version of themselves.

Everything I needed and more! The yoga, the food, the ceremonies, the music, the place, and most importantly, the community, all met me where I am at to support me through the detoxification and growth that I went for. One Breath Of Yoga is truly a powerful gift for those who seek a place to go deep in their path of healing and growth. I have come away from the experience with the clarity and vitality that I intended to access using the potent medicine of Ashtanga, temazcal and plant medicines, and the power of compassionate, inclusive leadership. I am so inspired by everyone I met during my retreat and will be (as many do) returning! Ever-grateful for One Breath Of Yoga, the jungle, Coco, Pamela, Alex, Foco, the local team, all the incredible volunteers, everyone who was there on retreat/part of the community, and of course the doggos!

El mejor espacio para encontrarte y conectar de nuevo con tu cuerpo y corazón! La mejor comida, los mejores maestros y un equipo de facilitadores muy hermoso!

We literally were in the jungle WOW & it was an amazing experience we will never ever forget 🪷❣️🫶🌴🐾🍄🍁 Thank You for having us 💞💕💓

One Breath of Yoga is a truly mystical and transformative place, deeply nourished by love and dedication. The family (staff) offers a supportive and sacred space where you're encouraged to grow into who you truly are, guided by the wisdom and passion of yoga. I first attended a one-week retreat in 2023, and the experience was so profound that I returned in 2025 to complete my 300-hour YTT. I will definitely come back because this Ashram is also a home.

Coco is a wonderful teacher with deep wisdom and a kind presence. The mix of yoga practice with holistic tools makes the experience truly transformative. The staff is always supportive and caring, which makes you feel at home. The space has a very welcoming community, and it’s a beautiful shala to connect, learn, and grow.

One Breath of Yoga has become so much more than a retreat for me—it truly feels like home. From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced by the jungle, by Coco, and by the energy that flows through this place. It’s not just a retreat you attend, it’s an experience that changes you from the inside out. The days here weave together so beautifully—yoga, plant medicine, food, music, community. Practicing Ashtanga in the shala, surrounded by the sounds and life of the jungle, felt like breathing as one collective body. The ceremonies gave me space to go deep into myself, and I felt completely safe and supported by the most amazing facilitators. Pamela carries such a deep wisdom and presence that makes everyone feel held, while Foko creates absolute magic in the kitchen—his food isn’t just nourishing, it’s alive with love. And then there’s the music… it shook my soul open in ways I didn’t even know I needed. What makes this place so special is the people—the warmth, the wisdom, the care. I came here expecting a retreat, but what I found is a family, a sanctuary, and a home that has touched my heart in ways I never expected. This place has opened me, softened me, and reminded me of who I really am.
