RETREAT VIEQUES
Re-ignite your passion for life through adventure, relaxation, renewal and inspired purpose.
Picture yourself walking into your private eco-luxury accommodation, greeted by the soft touch of the ocean breeze and the faint sound of the waves crashing on the shore. As you turn the corner, a feeling of serenity washes over you as you gaze out over the 90 foot pool to the endless Caribbean Sea. A smile forms as the heaviness of the stress lifts. Your breath lightens as your worries start to slip away. Realizing, you have arrived. Your retreat starts now and the next five days are reserved just for you.
RELAXATION
With each moment, on island time, you notice the stress soften. The worries begin to fade. You smile contently as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation together. As the days pass, you begin to observe a gentle shift within yourself – each breath lighter, each moment more vibrant. A sense of well-being washes over you and you realize: this is not a dream, you’re truly feeling good.
RETREAT of a LIFETIME
STILLNESS
Our week long wellness and yoga retreat integrates relaxation, self-discovery and renewal. Dedicated stillness and breathing sessions at sunrise allow you to set your intention and begin the day with purpose. In the evening, another session to wind down the day.
MOVEMENT
While on RETREAT, enjoy two energizing movement sessions daily to include yoga, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking and paddle boarding. Each immersed in the breathtaking beauty of Vieques island.
RENEWAL
Spend the midday hours however it pleases you – reading a new book, journaling, taking a nap, indulging in a spa service or simply just be. The choice is yours.
What do we do on RETREAT?
1. movement
Twice daily movement sessions will allow us to connect with our physical body. From guided hikes to secret beaches, morning swims in the Caribbean Sea, a beach hopping excursion to snorkel the best spots with our local captain or kayaking the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world, we ensure you have the opportunity to move each day.
In addition, hatha yoga, vinyasa yoga, yin yoga, and yoga nidra will be available to you on retreat. The offerings vary daily based on our excursion schedule. Perhaps, you prefer to sleep in and start your day at breakfast. All movement sessions are included. Nothing is mandatory. Experience YOUR retreat however it feels best to you!
2. stillness
Dedicated and guided moments of stillness allow us to reconnect. To take time to check in with ourselves and see how we are doing. As the sun rises in the sky and again as the sun sets in the evening, we will take a moment to pause and to listen. Our yin yoga and yoga nidra sessions will be accompanied by sound bath.
3. breath
Each day at sunrise and sunset we will take time to connect with our breath through guided breathwork and stillness sessions. Grounding, energizing or winding down, we learn and experience ways connect with our all powerful life force, our breath.
4. nourishing eats
All meals are crafted with whole foods and local ingredients to bring our bodies and minds toward balance. With Caribbean flare and the intention to reduce inflammation, three meals per day and snacks are included for each student.
5. self-discovery
Daily workshops that align with our core values, yoga practice and promote a wellness lifestyle will be given each afternoon of the wellness and yoga retreat.
6. luxury accommodations
Our retreat accommodations are located on a private five acre estate bordering the Caribbean Sea. The home is an open-air luxury villa designed to maximize your time spent enjoying the natural beauty of Vieques. The home features stunning views of the Caribbean from every room, including five outdoor showers. Lounge in the 94 foot infinity pool or walk down to the beach for a swim.
