Retreat to Dominica: Connect with more joy
April 2nd-7th 2022
Join us on a 6-day, 5-night experience of energizing and rejuvenating rituals. Together we’ll practice yoga, breathwork, journaling and meditation, paired with engaging outdoor activities and nourishing local cuisine. Whether you like relaxing spa treatments or prefer day long adventure hikes, this curated retreat will allow you to choose your own adventure while connecting with like-minded people.
Djenab and I are passionate about sharing the teachings that allow us to find balance amidst the stress of this life — we hope you’ll join us.
We’ll be hosted by Jungle Bay Resort & Spa, nestled in a lush, cliffside locale teeming with the sights and sounds of nature. Jungle Bay is an award-winning eco-luxe escape, attracting nature lovers, adventurous yogis, and passionate travelers alike.
Dominica is known as the “Nature Island of the Caribbean” with over 365 rivers, and is well suited for both exploration and relaxation. I first visited Dominica as a teenager, and it’s a place where the mind, body, and spirit can both unwind and expand.

What Else?
I’m hosting this retreat with my dear friend Djenab Conde. Djenab will lead one session of yin yoga every evening. Yin yoga is wonderful as a regular practice to help us reconnect with ourself. Unlike other styles of yoga, we hold fewer postures for longer periods of time to release tension and energy/emotional blockages.
Djenab is a corporate attorney, so she understand the teeter totter struggle to find balance. She wishes she had more time to do yin yoga, but every moment makes a big difference in your journey towards feeling better in your body.
We are honored that you’re here and hope you will join us on this retreat! If you have any questions, please send me a DM on Instagram.
