Join us for a deeply nourishing 7 Day Pilates, Yoga & Scuba Diving retreat in Paamul, a tranquil bay just south of Playa del Carmen. This immersive retreat blends daily sunrise Pilates, sunset yoga & meditation, scuba diving on Paamul’s self-contained reef system, and thoughtful details that allow you to fully relax, with seamless logistics, delicious meals, massage, sound bowl ceremony, and plenty of time to rest, explore, and connect, all you need to do is arrive and exhale.
Whether you’re already a certified diver or dreaming of earning your SSI Open Water certification, this retreat is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Program
Each day combines movement, ocean exploration, nourishing meals, and ample time to rest. There is no rushing and no over-scheduling — every element of the day is intentionally designed to support recovery, presence, and deep enjoyment of both land and sea.
Mornings begin with sunrise Pilates, focused on building core stability to support buoyancy in the water, improving postural alignment, and strengthening the shoulders and hips. Breath-led movement and diaphragmatic breathing are woven throughout the practice, helping you move more efficiently, feel more grounded, and carry ease into your dives and daily activities.
After breakfast, you will enjoy guided scuba activities or free time. Depending on your track, you may head out for open-water dives, participate in certification theory or confined water training, or simply enjoy the rhythm of the bay. Between activities, there is time to relax on the beach, swim in the calm waters, read by the pool, or enjoy your included massage.
As the sun begins to set, evenings are dedicated to yoga and meditation. These sessions emphasize nervous system regulation, gentle mobility, and deep recovery after time spent diving. Through conscious breath awareness and mindful movement, you’ll create space to unwind, integrate the day’s experiences, and reconnect inward — leaving you calm, centered, and restored.
