Celebrate the Mayan Winter Solstice on Tulum Beach

The Mayan Civilization at one time ruled immense regions of Mexico and Central America, and the ancient peoples honored the winter solstice in December with several rituals. The Maya considered the winter solstice (which is the shortest day of the year and falls on December 21st annually) to be a symbol of renewal. They were comforted in knowing that spring was not far off and every day in the upcoming season would be longer than the last. Mayan priests even today pray and light incense to recognize the day of the year when the sun is situated farthest from the Earth in the Northern Hemisphere.

The ancient Maya were quite innovative, with everything from an advanced outlook on life to a complex astronomical system, so it isn’t surprising that several of their treasured traditions have carried over into Mexico’s modern culture, too.

Enjoy an evening of RENEWAL with a variety of wellness rituals which includes a kundalini meditation, breathwork experience, cacao ceremony, live music and dancing followed by sound healing. Some of the best teachers and facitators from all of the world are coming together to create an unforgettable experience for you to enjoy. 

Located at the newly renovated Maya Tulum Hotel on the beach, this entire evening will take place in a beautiful yoga shala with props provided and everything you will need to relax, reset and renew yourself!

He has a unique ability to combine two different fields and harness the benefits of both. He is an Engineering graduate and a conscious entrepreneur. Growing up in India with a traditional family, he was exposed to Mantras, Chants, Yoga at a very early age. As the approach of adolescence the keen curious mind leaned more towards only the tangible scientific belief and it was not until several years later, the same curiosity led him to Quantum Mechanics which inadvertently led him to Meditation, Chanting and ultimately back to Kundalini Yoga. He is very passionate and wanted to become a teacher to quelch his own personal desire to immerse himself in the depths of this Raja Yoga.
