Getting Here

Location icon Kootenay Yoga School, Villas Punta Sur, Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Directions

-Arrival by airplane-
Please book your flight to arrive at Cancún International Airport (CUN). Students can travel independently to Kootenay Yoga School on Isla Mujeres, or for a return trip fee of 150 USD, the team will coordinate transportation directly from the airport to the door. Once students are registered, they will receive all of the information about arrival in a detailed orientation email - and will have the opportunity to express any dietary restrictions and questions about getting to the island!

Accommodation

The Jungle Accommodations are simple, comfortable, and surrounded by nature. The property is lush with greenery, regional flowers, and swaying palms. From your outdoor yoga shala, you will see over 100 species of plans, numerous breeds of regional birds, and bushes filled with bright red hibiscus flowers. Students will stay in apartments that are designed for either shared group or single occupancy preferences. All students will have their own beds in a shared or private room. Each apartment has a washroom - there is also a washroom at the Shala and a shower near the pool. Rooms are cooled with Caribbean breeze and fans. We aim to keep our eco-footprint small. This is supported by not using AC. We ask that students are gentle on the resources, the island is limited in supply.

The school is located just off the Caribbean shoreline. Students get to enjoy being less than a three minutes walk away from the secluded beaches of the Caribbean in both directions. Easily enjoyed are the calm swimming waters of the west, or the breezy cliff edges on the east.

Students can walk the relaxed streets in either direction to find swimming and shopping areas, live music, and even cultural centers. Less than 500 meters south of the school is the sacred traditional land of Punta Sur.
