This Virgin Islands sailing yoga retreat was pure perfection. Thais and Savannah were incredible hosts and crafted the perfect itinerary. You can tell how much love and care they put into every single detail of the trip. There was something for everyone, from beautiful nature hikes and snorkling/swimming to peaceful sailing and daily yoga/meditations. They even worked in special moments like a bonfire on the beach and group drinks at the local swim up bar for those who wanted to go. The food was absolutely incredible on board, Thais and Savannah truly do it all. Every meal was not only delicious and healthy but beautifully presented. The yoga classes were varied and for any level, from paddleboard yoga to restorative and I loved experiencing them all. There is truly nothing like yoga under the night stars, while on the water, among the beautiful, peaceful landscape. I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful this retreat was and how I came home feeling mind/body/soul nourished. I'm already looking forward to being on another one they organize in the future. If you're thinking of booking one of their retreats, don't think twice and take that time for yourself. You truly won't regret it. |
