Activities

Yoga

When you control your body’s balance, you can attain control of what you say, think, and feel. This is the magical aspect of yoga, when you feel the progress of your practice reflected on the perception of your daily life. Yoga cultivates endurance and physical control, and conditions your spine, therefore preventing injuries. Also by stretching your muscles you create space for toxins to leave your body easily. Yoga must be experienced in your own personal way, but nothing better than practicing next to the amazing Caribbean Sea.

Nutrition Workshops

Our nutritional medicine workshops are about combining meals with nutrients that target a certain condition and prevent its progression. It is an easy approach for the right foods to improve your life drastically. Learn to make everything natural and healthy, even your already favorites! Chocolate bars, nut cheeses, cashew cheesecake, arugula pesto, kombucha fermented a 2nd round with fruits, detox infusions and elixirs, omega-3 dressings, vegan ice cream, and some delicious probiotic sauces and dips! Our international dishes are prepared with appropriate smoke point oils and cooking methods aimed to minimize AGE (advanced glycation), but seasoned to perfection for your taste buds.

Farm to Table tour

What you eat has an undeniable connection to your health as an individual as well as the health of the environment. As a consumer, where you spend your dollar is where you place your support. With our food industry slowly becoming dominated by unsustainable practices, pesticides and GMO’s it is critical to be a mindful consumer. With this farm to table experience you will learn the importance of sustainable agriculture and a behind the scenes look at the daily operations of one of Playa Del Carmen’s local organic farm and restaurants.

Gourmet Cooking Classes

As a future Nutritionist, it is important to have confidence in the kitchen. With the proper food prep knowledge, you will be able to create healthy alternatives to any classic dish which will allow you to better serve your clients. Healthy food doesn’t have to be boring. At CoCo’s Culinary school, Chef Coty, owner of Coco’s, will take you step by step through her mouth watering signature dishes. You will learn gourmet cooking techniques, professional plating and experience the delicious cuisine that Mexico offers.

Locations & Accomodations

Playa del Carmen

This city is a balance between the busy Cancun and the relaxed Tulum, as well located in about the middle of them. Playa keeps all the buildings not higher than three stories, and as well protects the nature and some elder trees in particular. The famous Quinta Avenida (fifth avenue) is full of shops, restaurants, mexican curiosities, coffee shops, bars. It is a street protected for pedestrians, where it is not even allowed to drive bicycles, hence it is very peaceful to take a walk around. Playa as well has some streets adapted for bicycles, so that you can manage to use a bicycle as your transportation. Our Playa del Carmen wellness retreat is great for exploring a small town, which still keeps some important traditions such as the protection of mangrove trees, and certain arquitectural limits that forbid the making of tall buildings, hence the town has a certain european feeling, within of course the refreshing breeze of the Caribbean Sea. The 5th avenue is parallel to the beach, so in almost every horizontal-crossing street you get a glimpse of the incredible turquoise blue from the sea
