– The Art Of Slowing Down –
5-9 March, 2026
Journey Through The Maya Mysticism & Moving Slow
Private Villa in Cancun, Mexico
La Vida Lenta: Slow Down, Remember, Return
This restorative Yoga & Mayan wisdom retreat on the Mexican Caribbean Coast inspires and invites you to intentionally slow down.
La Vida Lenta is a sacred pause; a few days to soften, reset, and reconnect with the rhythm of your own breath, the wisdom of ancient traditions, and the healing pulse of nature.
Through a holistic approach to Yin, Yoga and ancient maya spiritual practices, you will embody the connection between Yin spirit and indigenous land, to awaken the gentle, intuitive wisdom within, giving you permission to remember the authentic you.
Surrounded by palm trees, turquoise waters and the echoes of slower, sacred time, you will experience the power rituals of Mayan mysticism which take you beyond the physical dimension, all guided by intention and presence.
Recharge yourself, enjoy white sandy beaches, clear Caribbean waters and let the weight of the world melt away so that you can find your centre.
1. Escaping:
Imagine waking up to the birds, beginning the day with gentle meditation and movement. Then brunch by the pool, followed by a refreshing dip in the water, surrounded by tropical palms. The sun draining away the stress and replacing happiness, laughter and relaxation.
By taking some time for yourself you’ll give yourself some well deserve rest and respite from every day life.
2. Community:
Surrounding yourself with like-minded and heart felt Yoga practitioners, just like you, you will feel reconnected in an ever growing isolated world.
Sharing stories, pulling cards, and sipping tea among the beach vibes and energy will revitalise your spirit and fill up your cup for your every day life.
3. Yin, Yoga & Mayan Mysticism:
By endowing yourself with the practices of yin, Yoga & ancient ritual you will ground your nervous system, while allowing the true you to emerge.
Tapping into the indigenous mystic, you’ll be able to connect with universal source while releasing and relinquishing all that doesn’t serve you.
Our Teachers & Intention For You
Shanti Atma Yoga
The core belief of Shanti Atma Yoga is that self love, self care, a positive environment, and taking a moment for yourself is the greatest healing one can have. Becoming in alignment and truth with your raw, true and real self towards abundance is where the beauty begins. We invite you on this journey of exploration with us.
Intention
Shanti Atma Yoga has a driving passion in sharing the way that Yin yoga can be the basis of slowing down and finding Dao in life. This has always been a driving force for extended research, special workshops & healing retreats. The 5 Dimensions to Yin give Becky and her team a lifetime supply of inspirational ways to create classes, workshops and retreats to make Yin accessible to all walks of life.
Teacher: Becky Khalil
Becky has been training Yoga teachers since all over the world since 2016, first at a Yoga teacher training school in India, and secondly through an array of trainings in Shanti Atma Yoga.
Becky approaches Yin through a holistic lens of the 5 dimensions (physical, energetic, mental, emotional & spiritual) and trains her students and teachers to widen their lens too.
Originally coming to Yoga for lower back pain, and a crazy mind, Becky found the benefits of Yoga to change her life bit by bit. Having a deep interest in meditation and mindfulness, and having sat 4 vipassana courses, her teaching comes from a place of meditative self-inquiry from the inside out, in a safe way, where all bodies can access the practice.
