Views from our Yoga Palapa
XPLOREFIT is thrilled to return to Isla Mujeres, a serene island just off the coast of Cancun. This tranquil paradise, where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Caribbean Sea, offers crystal-clear waters, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty—an ideal setting for our yoga and meditation retreat.
Our DEEP DIVE Yoga and Meditation Retreat retreat features daily morning 90 minute energizing Vinyasa classes, which include Pranayama (breath work) and Meditation, and dreamy evening Yin yoga with guided meditation sessions, led by our lovely lead teacher Caramia Tambornino, on our beautiful rooftop palapa.
Overlooking the Caribbean, this serene space provides breathtaking sunset views, making it the perfect place to center yourself, rejuvenate and restore your inner balance.
A special highlight of the retreat is a sunrise meditation at Punta Sur, the easternmost point of Mexico. Here, you'll greet the day with the first rays of sunlight at the sacred temple of Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of the moon and fertility, adding a profound spiritual dimension to your experience. Join us in this peaceful haven, where the island's natural beauty and the powerful energy of Ixchel will guide your practice.
CARAMIA TAMBORNINO
YOGI AND SPIRITUAL LEADER
Caramia began practicing yoga in 1978 in Minnesota, at Shanti House, a home for homeless and recovering teens. This physically and mentally challenging experience saved her life, and lit the yoga path to living a life filled with stability and acceptance.
Throughout her adult life, she felt compelled to establish real connections and give back. First, serving as a VP of sales training in cosmetics which later led to becoming a Wellness Advocate and Director of Marketing in San Francisco for Brown and Toland, a prestigious Bay Area Medical Services organization.
Due to a demanding career life, along with parenting two children (and a failing marriage), her yoga practice slipped to the side and she hit the hard wall of burnout and emotional fatigue. In 2008, with an urgent need to heal and transform, coupled with a burning desire to leave the “health care” industry and help those in need of REAL health care, she made a courageous decision to return home.....to her mat and enrolled in a yoga teaching training program.With an emphasis on each person's intimate journey, Caramia currently leads Yoga Teacher Trainings, yoga retreats, workshops and private clients. Her upbeat classes are vinyasa based, meditative, breath centric, and include anatomical alignment, and injury management prevention.
