Perfectly timed, when you’re feeling like you’ve had enough of the cold and wet of winter and the busy-ness of the holidays.   When you’re REALLY ready for sunshine, warm tropical waters and the smell and feel of the delicious ocean breeze …

We have the perfect place, and we’re taking you there!  The small happy Dutch Caribbean Island of Aruba is one of perpetual perfect summer. Pristine white sands meet the most beautiful blue waters, along coastlines dotted with secluded coves and spectacular limestone cliffs. Aruba is true island paradise and the perfect backdrop for a spectacular yoga retreat vacation.

Jessica and Laura will be your guides for a glorious 7 days and 6 nights as we have an adventure, make friends, decompress, detox, do yoga, go deep and feel great. We’ll soak up the sunshine, swim, snorkel, and sail.  We’ll nourish our bodies in all ways and come home feeling refreshed!

We have just 12 rooms so please reserve early.
