Suspension Yoga™ Holiday

Suspension Yoga™ Holiday

We invite you to join us for a once-in-a-lifetime retreat in Mérida, the stunning, historical capital city of Yucatan and the heartland of the ancient Mayan culture.

Here’s a little glimpse of what’s in store during your week with us…

Upon arrival to The Flying Yogi Eco-Villa, you will be greeted with a sumptuous Yucatecan Buffet prepared by one of Mérida’s finest chefs along with a glass (or two) of the best Sangria you have ever tasted.

Mornings will usually begin with smoothies, coffee (or tea), a special theme based meditation practice and we will go through a progressive series of Suspension Yoga™ classes (mat yoga is also available if that is what is preferred). Classes are followed by a healthy, delicious breakfast.

Afternoons are reserved for fun and adventures such as exploring Mayan archeological sites, swimming in clear freshwater underground caves known as “cenotes”, marveling at pink flamingos in flight or bicycling around the city, shopping at local markets, strolling through museums, and much more.

Mérida is renowned for its fabulous food and our evenings will be spent exploring some of the exquisite cuisines available in Mérida’s finest landmark restaurants.

During your stay, time will also be set aside for a deeply relaxing ayurvedic massage with Johannan, our resident massage therapist.

From Merida’ well-deserved reputation as one of the safest cities globally to its delightful weather, culinary marvels, accessibility, and rich cultural and natural attractions,  The Flying Yogi promises you a remarkable retreat experience filled with wonder, education, and memories to treasure.

How to find us?

  • There are 2 airport options when flying to Merida.

    1. Cancun International Airport: The benefits of flying into Cancun is that it is usually a direct flight and more flights go there. It’s also a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than flying into Merida airport.  From the airport, you will need to catch a bus into Merida.  You can either purchase your bus tickets in advance online at busbud.com or at the ADO bus kiosk inside the Cancun airport.  Please note that no refunds are given for missed buses due to flight delays. The buses leave almost hourly so it’s quite easy to catch one and it takes approx. 5 hours to get to the Merida Bus Terminal (be sure not to take the bus to Merida – Altabrisa which is a bit further from our location).  The vehicle themselves are comfortable with roomy seats, AC, and a toilette on board.  From the Merida Bus Terminal, it is only about 15 minutes by Car to The Flying Yogi retreat center.

    2. Merida International Airport: The benefit of flying into Merida International is that it is only 15 minutes from The Flying Yogi retreat center by Car.  Because it is a small airport it is more low-key with less lengthy customs lines etc.  You will however have a short layover in either Miami or Mexico City, which are both very busy airports that involve a lot of walking, crowds, and long security lines.  It also costs more to fly into Merida although it does feel more direct.

What others say about our retreats…

No pressure, No Stress. No hard and fast schedules. Roll with it and enjoy the retreat. It was like spending a week with close friends whose company you really enjoy.

Trixie and John went above and beyond to make sure our visit to The Flying Yogi Merida retreat centre was a happy one.

The meals were well thought out and healthy, and the yoga was top notch. Every excursion was interesting and informed us about the history and sights of the area.

The Flying Yogi or the Azores?

We’ll probably visit the Azores some day but this time around we certainly made the right decision choosing to spend a week at the Flying Yogi. I highly recommend it!

This was definitely one of the best vacations in my entire life.

A variety of yoga, not only suspension yoga.  Best teacher ever.  Healthy and delicious breakfasts and lunches.  Accommodation spotless and comfortable. Amazing outings.  Whole thing did me the world of good.

Trixie and John rose above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of.

Everything, was truly amazing. Truly speechless.

For a retreat that just currently open, it was amazing. Wow !

Beautiful memories made from this retreat.

The retreat setting and accommodation was very unique.  Loved the tranquillity there.  I really enjoyed the Suspension Yoga sessions and it was great having ‘local’ tour guides to take us to off-the-beaten-paths to enjoy the authenticity of this beautiful part of Mexico.

The atmosphere that Trixie and John created was very welcoming, warm and relaxed.
