DOMINICA
A YOGA RETREAT TO TROPICAL DOMINICA
*The Nature Island of the Caribbean*
DATES: February 22 - March 1, 2025 | TEACHERS: Checka Antifonario & Kacy Harnedy PRICE: $3200 - $5200
Wake up on a tropical, lush island in your gorgeous villa perched above the Caribbean Sea. Jungle Bay is located on the southwest coast of Dominica, only 20 minutes from the capital of Roseau, the charming fishing village of Soufriere and a
UNESCO marine reserve. Kacy & Checka chose this center because tranquility and peace exude from the space, and its purpose-driven, eco-friendly nature align beautifully with the principles of yoga.
If you are an experienced yoga practitioner or a new student looking to deepen your practice, this is for you. It is important to be dedicated. Classes with Kacy & Checka will include deep dives into breathwork, meditation techniques and asana for whole being wellness. There will be approximately 10-20 folks in our retreat group.
This is a full seven-night retreat, which provides time and space for deep and lasting transformation!
Jungle Bay was brought to life by Dominican entrepreneur and sustainable development expert Samuel “Sam” Raphael, who is driven by a lifelong philosophy of environmental conservation and community development. This 60-room award-winning luxury eco-resort is his vision manifested.
The island boasts a variety of natural attractions including 365 rivers and streams, hidden waterfalls, freshwater lakes, hot sulfur springs, a boiling lake (considered the world’s second largest), lush mountainous tropical forest, and epic diving and snorkeling spots. It is also the home of many rare plants, animals, and bird species.
Dominica differentiates itself in many ways from other Caribbean islands; instead of mass tourism, noisy bars and night clubs, visitors will find tranquility, bountiful nature and very friendly people. This is truly a dream destination for nature lovers, adventurer, hikers, divers, snorkelers and bird watchers. And a welcoming oasis for those who seek tranquility, relaxation, yoga and wellbeing.
Jungle Bay is a rare gem, and we are so excited to share it with you. They refer to their 19-acre property as an "edible resort", with 100 tropical fruits growing right outside your door! Speaking of delicious eats, Jungle Bay's gourmet culinary experience features all organic, fresh local ingredients with an emphasis on vegetarian dishes in addition to some locally sourced fish and meat options. The yoga shalas, one of which will be reserved for our group, are stunning and spacious. The bright and beautiful accommodations - each room with its own private bathroom and outdoor patio - will hold you in peace and natural luxury for your week on retreat. Did I mention your package includes three excursions and a 30-minute spa treatment as well?!
