4 Day Revitalizing Personal Yoga Retreat in Mexico

Joanne is the founder and owner of Tribal Tulum and has been sharing her humor, sense of vitality and her yoga practice with people in Tulum since 2004.

Her classes are tailored to the needs of her students and based on her life philosophy of cherishing each moment and ourselves.

Each of her practices reminds us that each breath and each moment is a gift. She combines her yoga with a lifetime of body-knowledge developed as a competitive athlete and life philosophy developed in over 20 years of practice and study with nearly 15 years of teaching experience.

Joanne is accredited to teach yoga by the AAAI/ISMA, (American Aerobic Association International/International Sports Medicine Association) and the YUMJI Yin Yoga School.

She is an engineer, writer and artist as well as an entrepreneur and yogi. She is a B School Graduate as well. She writes and blogs online.

Daria found yoga more than 12 years ago and it has helped to heal her body, mind, and heart along the way of past injury.

She has studied with Shiva Rea, Mathew Cohen and Jorgen Christiansson in California and received her 300-hour Yoga Alliance certification from Daniel Aaron of radiantly Alive Yoga in Ubud, Bali. She teaches Restorative, Yin and Children's yoga at Tribal.

Eugenia received her certification in Hatha yoga in 2006 and since 2009, her study and teaching are dedicated to the Iyengar method.

She came to Tulum in 2014. In early 2015, she completed her grade II certification in the Iyengar tradition of yoga.

She constantly updates her knowledge and teaching skills about the Iyengar method through workshops and seminars.

She teaches Iyengar yoga 5 times a week at Tribal, and one Saturday a month, she teaches a restorative Iyengar class.

Tribal Yoga has wall fitted ropes that are used in Eugenia’s classes to perfect the alignment in the asanas.

Mariana came to Tulum just 3 years ago from Guadalajara, Mexico. She studied yoga in Playa del Carmen and received her certification in Vinyasa Flow from Alan Montaño.

Developing a dedicated and constant practice showed her the internal and external changes yoga brought about in herself.

Subsequently, she decided to share the yoga practice as a teacher. “Yoga changed my life and helped me cure physical and emotional problems. It was also crucial in allowing me to respect and accept myself”.

Mariana shows her students how yoga can help us live less accelerated lives and be in the moment, thus healing physical and emotional wounds.

Balancing postures are her favorites both in her personal practice and in her teaching because “you can see yourself and your students improve day to day and that helps build confidence, something that can improve each and every person’s life.“

Mariana teaches Vinyasa Flow at Tribal.

Ricardo is from Northern Mexico, a small town called Tampico.

He developed his love for bodily movement and the interaction between body and mind through Martial Arts, loving both the traditional aspect and the competition.

He began yoga to improve his alignment in competitions and immediately fell in love with its focus on balancing body and mind.

He is new to teaching yoga, but an old soul with years in martial arts and mind-body connection. He received his training in 2015 in Vinyasa Flow at Yoga Dicha in Tulum, where he now lives.

Ricardo has been teaching at Tribal since shortly after we opened. His Sunday Funday practice is often the highlight of our yoga week as we play into our poses and Ricardo shares effective ways to increase balance, flexibility, strength often as they relate to inversions.
