About the Signature Retreat
In this competitive world, we wear our “busyness” as a badge of honor. Productivity often trumps our own physical, mental and spiritual health. Yet, there is something within each of us that craves a balance, a lifestyle that is genuine and serves us as well as those around us. We commit to implement healthful habits into our lives. Nevertheless, weeks and years race by. We allow work, social obligations, the needs of others and household duties tend to overtake the top spots on our priority lists. Instead of waking up refreshed and eager, our neglected bodies, minds and spirits are left to run on empty.
At Jungle Keva Tulum, you will learn to slow your pace to allow yourself to tap into the center of your being, from which joy and vitality flow. Five blissful nights will be spent with Kendall, the mastermind behind this exclusive jungle sanctuary. Coupled with her passion for helping people live full, vibrant lives, and her endearing love and insider knowledge of the Riviera Maya, she will undoubtedly lead you to connect with people, nature and enriching food on a deeper level than you have ever experienced before.
From your initial meeting, Kendall’s infectious ‘joie de vivre’ will inspire you. Her expertise in Ayurveda and Yoga will provide you with all the information and motivation needed to embrace each step of your own wellness journey. Your perspective on the core aspects of mindful living will begin to shift from being a chore, to being a cherished gift.
Every single design element, activity and meal has been thoughtfully curated to not only enhance your stay, but to renew your spirit. Your exquisite lodge has been equipped with ceiling fans, air-conditioners, quality bamboo sheets and premium organic toiletries. Ample windows expose the verdant exterior landscape and promote a continuous and vital connection to nature. Towering palms and blooming jungle foliage engulf the pristine infinity pool. You will sleep soundly at Jungle Keva Tulum, a concept that rivals the most splendid of Balinese retreats.
Your Stay
Your stay includes five superb, delicious dinners and five fresh breakfasts made from locally sourced produce. Even the dairy and breads come from the nearby local community. In the afternoons, when the group is not out on a fascinating tour, Kendall offers her aromatic Chai tea and snacks to savor during your divine downtime. Four delicious lunches are incorporated into the schedule to be enjoyed either at Jungle Keva or on a daytrip to the boho-chic, beachside paradise of Tulum.
Excursions
Kendall will whisk you off on an unforgettable excursion that has been voted by past guests as a highlight of their magical encounter in Mexico. You will visit three breath-taking and very different cenotes, a cave, zip-line across a lagoon and immerse yourself in nature. This life changing experience will end with an afternoon lunch of fresh local ceviche on a pristine beach the mayan riviera is known for! Expert guides will ensure your experience is fun, safe and memorable.
Other activities will take place on the majestic grounds of your Jungle Keva sanctuary. You will be treated to live music on two evenings, even taking part in an engaging Mexican cooking class with a local celebrity chef. Also on the agenda, are daily revitalizing yoga classes overlooking a tropical garden setting, with a chance to witness the vivid sunrise burst through the jungle and if that is not amazing enough each guest will receive a 90 minute massage from a hand picked local therapist known for her healing treatments.
To describe the effect this profound retreat will have on you in words is like attempting to capture in a photograph the sheer beauty of the most awe-inspiring sight you have ever seen. It is beyond powerful. It far surpasses wonderful. To say that it is life changing is a good place to start.

I had the very good fortune to join a yoga retreat offered by yoga instructor and Ayurvedic Health Counselor Kendall Inman in Playa del Carmen earlier this year. I was a little hesitant to sign up at first: I would be traveling alone from California; I didn’t know anyone else who would be attending; I had never met Kendall, and I had very little yoga experience! But I took the advice of a friend who insisted with great confidence that I would love the experience, because of Kendall’s general awesomeness and because she always “over-delivers.” And …. my friend was so right. Kendall is a meticulous event planner – her retreat was so adventurous, fun, educational, and yes- as promised- transformative.
We enjoyed several yoga classes, riding bikes to the beach, Stand Up Paddling in an amazing lagoon, sampling street food and exotic fruit drinks, coffee and chocolate treats at a local café (just to name a few of our activities), as well as a focus on healthy eating … healthy body … and healthy mind. In such a beautiful setting as the Yucatan Peninsula – how can you not be transformed?
Kendall takes care of the most minute details of every retreat participant’s needs. It is remarkable how she is able to do that with such generosity and ease. I expect that at her new Jungle Keva Tulum, Kendall will be able to offer fully organized retreats (where every detail is attended to), as well as less structured offerings for those who want more personally planned time. Kendall has lived in the area for many years, and knows everyone, everywhere! So however you would like to visit the Tulum area, Kendall is a wonderful resource and guide.
Thank you so much Kendall, for sharing your zest for life and beauty. I hope to see you soon!
Going on a retreat with Kendall is truly a life changing experience. She is an exceptional retreat leader, thinking of every detail to maximize the both the learning and the fun. She makes sure the lodging, food and drink, excursions, yoga, shopping, massage and Ayurvedic wellness experiences exceed expectations. Because she really knows Mexico, she picks places to visit and people to meet that enhance the experience. Her own personality sets her retreats apart because she knows how to include and involve everyone no matter their interests, experience or fitness levels. Best of all, what I learn on her retreat, I take home with me to put into practice. Five stars!
A friend and I attended Kendall’s Playa retreat in December 2015. It was lovely from start to finish. When we arrived at the Cancun airport, our transportation was waiting to whisk us away for a few days of pampering. It was so wonderful to have everything arranged.
We arrived at our hotel to find delightful welcome gifts on our beds. Kendall thinks of the big things and the little things – it’s her thoughtful attention to detail that makes her retreats extra special. The entire retreat was designed to help us learn about, and support, our individual constitutions. Hot water with lemon and chai tea in the morning was followed by a delicious breakfast in the open air. Daily yoga sessions progressed, as we built up our constitutions, from gentle on the first day to invigorating on the last day, when we were ready.
One of our lunches was at a fabulous beach location. The weather was perfect and it was so relaxing to gaze at the ocean while enjoying our delicious food. Another lunch was a fun and information cooking demonstration with freshly prepared foods to support our constitutions.
Thoughtful details (chocolates on our pillows at night), wonderful food, the “lazy river ride” at the Sian Ka’an Biosphere, beautiful Tulum beach, salsa dance lessons, and enough free time for shopping, a massage, or a stroll on the beach. Our final night was a home cooked ayurvedic meal at Kendall’s lovely Playa apartment. Wow!
This was my second retreat with Kendall and it won’t be my last. I had to talk my friend into coming with me. At the end, she said it was her best vacation ever and she can’t wait for the next one!
I have attended this retreat in the past, and not only did I have a fantastic time but I learned so much. So many changes that I have incorporated into my daily life, I learned from Kendall. All of these changes have enriched my life and my practice. The group of people I met were amazing and that enhanced the experience. The excursion to the biosphere and Tulum was a great day, and the studio where we did our practice that day- well you will have to experience it for yourself-but truly transcendental.
Do yourself a favor and take this retreat, you will be very happy you did.
Last year this trip changed my life! My diet, my workouts, and my outlook shifted from the wonderful way Kendall presented Ayurveda, the restaurants she chose to expose us to (teaching us how to eat healthy while out), yoga classes in exquisites spots, and visits to Mexico’s treasures. I wish this year’s schedule would allow me to go again, but I asked for abundance in my new business and I will be on travel. If you are the fence about which yoga retreat to go to, then you MUST go to this one. Kendall’s retreats are the best and are life changing.
I attended this sweet retreat last year and loved it! It was just what I needed, a great “reset” for my spirit and my body! The yoga classes in different locations was fun, early morning meditation on the beach – awesome and the food delicious. Kendall Inman offered great cooking classes, she is so knowledgeable in the field of yoga and Ayurveda, very inspiring! I loved the balance of structure and free time, plenty of time experience a little bit everything and enjoy that area of Mexico! I came home feeling inspired and rejuvenated, schedule permitting I will go again! ❤️❤️❤️
