Tulum always has so much to offer its visitors. Whether you’re into wellness, clubs, history, geology, or food, you can find it in Tulum. Not one to laze around the beach all day or party in the hippest clubs all night? Then you might consider joining a yoga class or taking part in a yoga retreat.

They all seem to offer a space to flow and connect with your mind, body, and soul. But to calm you down even before you schedule your yoga class, we’ve come up with a list of the best yoga studios and retreats in Tulum!
