The ocean can provide emotional healing powers if you’re open to letting go of everything that holds you back in life. Physical movement is important to allow blood to flow throughout the body evenly. Movements such as dance and yoga push energy through your body with fluidity. If there is pent up negative energy or suppressed emotions, try Hatha or Vinyasa style yoga on the beach or near a body of water. Mentally unload your troubles into the water during the yoga session while holding an intention of what you need in order to replace those negative emotions. Namaste beach yogi!

A cenote is “a deep sinkhole in limestone with a pool at the bottom that is found especially in Yucatán.

A cenote is the result of collapsed limestone which exposes water beneath.

There are four classifications of cenotes; ancient, cavern, semi-open and open. The more open the cenote indicates how long ago it was formed.

Take caution when visiting a cenote as some are prone to caving into the water below and could possibly be fatal for explorers.

  • Side note: The ancient Maya used cenotes as a water source and sacrificial offerings.
