A few years ago, I decided to make meditation a part of my daily life, whether it be for 5 minutes or 5 hours. The results have been amazing so, I’ve decided to try my hand at yoga. Why? To improve my posture, strength and flexibility and most important, to keep my mental space clear. Follow along as I begin my journey with tips from sites and yogis I hope to meet and learn from.

Cozumel

Viva Mexico! I took my mom on a weekend trip to Cozumel and it was wonderful!

Although a popular tourist destination, most people visit this part of Mexico by cruise ship so depending where you are on the island, there may be more port than beach.

We took a tour of a resort for a free bottle of Kahlua (they caught us leaving the airport), but ended up just getting passes at Mr. Sanchos Beach Club. For about $50, we had unlimited, delicious, food and drinks. The staff was great, it was extremely well worth the money.

I would come back but it would most likely be on a cruise like the majority of visitors.

Til Next Trip.
