We're heading to St Croix in 2026 for the health and wellness retreat of your dreams! This tiny Caribbean island destination offers everything we’ve been looking for: perfect turquoise waters, incredible natural surroundings, options for adventure and relaxation, low-key vibes, and a gorgeous yoga retreat center within walking distance of the beach.

Our newest retreat partner, Feather Leaf Inn, provides us with gorgeous ocean view rooms, delicious plant-based food, and indoor / outdoor practice space for yoga, meditation, and fitness. We’ll be snorkeling, hiking, dining, relaxing, and soaking up the sun. 

During this retreat, our daily classes will focus on focus on yoga, mediation, and wellness. Classes will include our 26 posture Original Hot Yoga sequence, Yin yoga, guided meditation, and traditional vinyasa yoga flow. We'll be practicing in a beautiful open air space.

Book your flights to STX and we'll do the rest! Our retreat staff will meet you at the airport and bring you directly to Feather Leaf Inn. Flights arrive throughout the afternoon and we'll have our Welcome Dinner at 6pm. (If you arrive a little later, don't worry, we'll save you a plate.)

Feather Leaf Inn offers beautiful ocean views and cozy accommodations, perfect for a relaxing escape. Its close proximity to local attractions makes it a delightful choice for exploring St. Croix.

Our first full day will start with an early morning yoga class, followed by a delicious plant-based breakfast. After we eat, the property owners will give us a tour of their location and help us get acquainted with St Croix. After lunch, we'll take a ride to the beautiful Sandy Point beach for swimming and relaxation! We'll return to Feather Leaf Inn for an afternoon hot yoga practice and dinner.

Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge offers stunning white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. This is the famous location where they shot the final scene of the Shawshank Redemption! Open only on weekends.

Guests that want to visit the Annaly Bay Tide Pool will start the day a little earlier with breakfast to-go and spend the morning exploring the island! Anyone that doesn't wish to hike can relax back at Feather Leaf with morning yoga and breakfast. There are some great beach spots that are walking distance from our accommodations. We'll meet back up for lunch at Feather Leaf, free time, afternoon hot yoga, and dinner.

Experience the dense jungle rainforest of St. Croix on this memorable guided hike! Our guide will point out various types of plant life, insects and creatures, and will provide information on the geology and rich history of the area. Upon reaching the beautiful Annaly Bay tide pools, you can take a relaxing dip in their calming waters (max depth: six feet) with the small fish and juvenile marine creatures that call the tide pools home.

This hike’s difficulty is calculated as “moderately strenuous” based on 350 feet of maximum elevation, a round trip distance of five miles and a trail that involves rock scrambling, water crossing, and other challenging terrains. On average, the hike to the pools takes about 45 minutes, but we can move faster or slower depending on the group.

Once again, we'll start our day with morning yoga and a delicious plant based breakfast. After breakfast, anybody that wants to participate in the half-day Buck Island Cruise will make their way to Christiansted. Anybody that wishes to relax at the Inn can book a massage instead! We'll all be back at Feather Leaf in time for dinner overlooking the ocean.

The half day tour departs from the Christiansted Boardwalk. To begin, you will spend time on Buck Island’s Turtle Beach, where you can learn to snorkel with a lesson provided by our crew or just relax and enjoy the beach. Then it’s off to our underwater trail where you will snorkel through the reef, home to hundreds of fish and coral species. We provide all the gear necessary and filtered drinking water throughout the day.

After a couple days of adventure, we'll take some extra time to relax! We'll stay "close to home" with shuttle drivers available all day to bring you to Fredriksted Peir (for the best snorkeling) or Rainbow Beach (for swimming and sunbathing.) Massage appointments will also be available on this day. (Advance booking is required.)

We'll offer yoga classes and regular meals throughout the day. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in a Cooking Class with our hosts at Feather Leaf Inn and learn how to prepare these delicious meals when you return back home. We hear that this is one of the most popular activities with their retreat guests!

We'll start our day on Wednesday with early morning yoga and breakfast, then head down to town to take a deeper dive into local history! Lace up your sneakers and learn more about the fascinating history of St Croix.

After our tour, we'll have plenty of time after lunch for resting, reading, massage, or beach time before our evening yoga class and dinner.

Of all three historic towns in the Virgin Islands, the history of Frederiksted is arguably the most remarkable, with everything from slave rebellion to tsunami to warrior queens to conflagration. CHANT offers a walking tour that shares the history of the town while showcasing the magnificent waterfront, historic Fort Frederik, Victorian townhouses and historic churches. Many buildings date back to the late 1700’s while others were rebuilt after the historic “Fireburn” of 1878.

For our last full day on retreat, we'll head over to the East End of the island where you can experience a different part of St Croix with an entirely different landscape! We'll check out Jack & Isaac Bay Preserve, which includes two secluded beaches that can only be reached by hiking. We'll bring lunch to-go and enjoy a picnic at the beach before heading back to Feather Leaf for our final evening yoga class & dinner!

All good things must come to an end! We'll finish our trip with a final meal and yoga class together. As most flights from the island depart later in the afternoon, there may be some final opportunities to shop for souvenirs or visit the beach once you've packed up all your bags. Safe travels!
