After a beautiful decade of being known as the Yoga Forest, we have shifted ownership and are expanding our focus to emphasize the celebration and well-being of the land, the people and the cultures immediately around us. In light of this change, we are proud to share that the Yoga Forest will now be known as ‘Kawoq’ Forest, a Mayan word representing community healing and expanded consciousness. 

With this new name, we intend to hold the space as a living, breathing entity as it constantly grows and evolves. Yoga has been a lovely but limited lens for an ever-changing transformative space, thus, Kawoq Forest is an organic, expansive process and teaches us the joys of change, nature and authenticity.

Kawoq Forest is committed to the holistic well-being of every guest – including their emotional, spiritual, mental and physical health. Kawoq symbolizes fertility, community and the elements of lightning and fire, thus, we hope to ignite creativity and spark the birth of new ideas and ways of being in this space that are inspired from the inner fire of wisdom and awareness. 

Although we will continue to offer daily yoga classes, we are no longer limited to being defined as a yoga retreat center – rather we are thrilled to be expanding our definitions of wellness, offering a myriad of transformative wellness experiences in an eco-luxury sanctuary that includes diverse forms of holistic healing modalities including indigenous ceremony and ritual to connect to self, the culture and the land.

We are here to center and honor the fecundity of the forest and welcome every guest into a warm embrace that nurtures their growth, renewal and inner harmony.
