Join us in St Croix 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. These classes will be taught by Juliana Olmstead, Honore Ford, and Gretchen Hawkins. We will generally offer classes 2x per day, with adjustments made to accommodate any early morning group activities.
Rather than using artificial heat for our classes, we’ll be in an open air yoga space and utilizing the natural warmth of the Caribbean climate. You’ll feel recharged and rejuvenated in a whole new way as you breathe in the ocean air throughout the week!
Expect temperature highs in the 80s and lows in the 70s every single day, with sunny skies apart from the occasional cooling rain shower. February and March are peak months to visit St Croix! We’ll take you to some of our favorite spots such as Sandy Point Beach (aka the Shawshank Redemption Beach!!,) Point Udall (the eastern-most point in the United States,) St George Botanical Gardens (for ecology and local history,) and Fredriksted Pier (for snorkeling and snoozing on the beach.) You will be sandy and salty for the entire week, and you will never want to go back home!!
Our pricing for this trip is all-inclusive, meaning all excursions are included in the trip cost. Specifically this includes transportation cost, our private half-day charter boat to Buck Island, admission to the Botanical Gardens, and a plant-based cooking class at Feather Leaf. If you do not wish to go on the Buck Island trip, you may substitute one pre-paid massage session. You will have one free-day where you may book additional local activities at your own cost if you would like to check any more items off your bucket list!
We will be staying at Feather Leaf Inn, a historic estate located adjacent to secluded Butler Bay. This historic estate is part of a 260-year-old plantation built during Danish colonial rule. Owners Ryan and Corina have transformed the property into a seaside botanical food-forest and retreat center. It maintains a piece of history while providing modern conveniences. The rooms are 100% solar powered, and each room has a private entrance and private bathroom.
