Are you ready to Bliss Out, Zen Out and Laugh Your Ass Off? Then join us for a Yoga and Wellness retreat in Belize, surrounded by the aquamarine waters of Placencia.

January 20th-27th, 2024 ~ SOLD OUT

Get out into nature, let the ocean soothe your soul and let us guide you towards finding and nourishing your Authentic Self. While participating in daily Yoga, Wellness, Mindfulness and Self-Care, you will revel in the camaraderie of a small group of like-minded woman, while relaxing at our private villa in one of the most beautiful ocean paradises in the world.

Because we’re in the business of making Self-Growth exciting, playful and easy, during our week together, we will work on creating our own personal road maps towards living our best lives (a cliche saying, but oh so true). We will discover what makes us happy and what is stressing us out and we will learn how to follow our maps even when life throws us challenges.
