CONNECTED
A Girls' Fitness & Adventure Retreat

Workouts, cenotes, and biking to Mayan ruins with Layne Bruner in Mexico

May 18-22, 2017

Connected, a Girls' Fitness & Adventure Trip to Mexico

I'm Layne, and I am so excited to host my 2nd active vacation focused on mind, body, and soul! We will enjoy daily fitness classes, local food and drink, and have time to explore Mexico with new, like-minded friends. 

Join Layne in beautiful Tulum, Mexico where you can find peace and relaxation alongside an active fitness retreat. You will experience the local flavor and culture with a snorkeling excursion in a picturesque cenote, biking to explore Mayan ruins, and relaxing on the beach with a fresh juice or cocktail!

The fitness:
Two daily fitness classes will pull from a variety of disciplines including high intensity fitness like HIIT, tabata, and dance fitness in the mornings and then more restorative workouts like yoga and barre-influenced fitness in the evenings. All movements have modifications for all fitness levels.

The retreat:
Relaxation is a number one priority, followed up by fitness. If you want to skip a daily excursion and enjoy a spa treatment or tanning by the beach, go for it! This is your vacation and you make the decisions on your itinerary that suits your heart and soul. Together we will reconnect to what's important and come back to reality as better, more centered versions of ourselves.
