Kiersten Mooney of BVY was quoted in this month’s Shape Magazine article “Venture Out” about adventure fitness.
PUSH YOUR LIMITS AT… Personal Revolution Bootcamp, Tulum, Mexico.
Perfect your one-arm plank pose and learn advanced asanas in marathon yoga sessions with Baron Baptiste. Known for his encouraging, down-to-earth approach and athletic teaching style, Baptiste leads seven-day camps along the white sand beaches of the Yucatán Peninsula. Up to 100 people attend, so be prepared to share your space- and spend a lot of time with fellow guests (sessions can run up to four hours). Kiersten Mooney, 35, of Naples, Florida has enjoyed two Tulum camps and made lifelong friends. “Baron’s ability to encourage you to be completely present, breath by breath and asana by asana, is awe-inspiring,” she says. “Time flies and no one looks at the clock.”
To sustain your energy, a delicious buffet lunch follows the first morning practice. You then have two hours of leisure time followed by another yoga session- and meditation- at 5 p.m. Book it Personal Revolution Boot Camps are held every May and October (book early; they fill up fast). From $2,295, including lodging at the Maya Tulum Resort and three meals a day; baronbaptiste.com.
