HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE :)

Return to paradise with Megan Wade and Tara Darrall for another unforgettable Zen Belize Yoga Retreat. Nestled in the heart of bustling San Pedro, Belize, this week is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself...a gift that you deserve.

Tara, a devoted studio owner in San Pedro for the past 13 years, with 20 years of experience as a yoga teacher, guides each practice with warmth, intention, and care. Megan, a registered nurse and yoga teacher, brings a grounded understanding of the body and nervous system to each class by drawing on her background working in critical care for over a decade.

Together, they cultivate a supportive and uplifting space where you can feel safe to settle into the week knowing we've got you :)

The week will ebb and flow in a way of your choosing. We will always start the day with morning meditation on the most incredible dock with a gorgeous sunrise. We will then scoot over to the yoga studio and enjoy an incredible Vinyasa Yoga practice with Tara. There will always be an activity planned for the day but this is optional with an invitation to truly do what you feel like doing. After soaking up the sun, laughing with new friends and enjoying San Pedro the night will close off as a group enjoying a gentle, nourishing Yin Yoga practice with Megan. We hope to see you there :)

Come stay with us at Steve and Becky's, located at Ramon's Village Resort. There are two options: one is double occupancy, and one is single occupancy. If you are traveling solo and wish to share a double occupancy room, reach out to us. Prices are in USD. Each room has two queen beds. You have access to the entire resort. Five dinners (which include appetizer, main, and dessert), daily breakfasts, and gratuity (18%) are included in the cost. The total cost is dependent on double or single occupancy. Double occupancy is $1975 USD. Single occupancy is $2525 USD. A $400 USD non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot.

Any payments made beyond the $400 deposit are 50% refundable up to 91 days before the start date of the retreat.

The remaining balance (excluding the deposit) will be charged in two installments: one in August and one in November.

No refunds will be issued within 91 days of the retreat start date.

Where is the yoga studio?

The yoga studio is called Zen Belize and is a five minute walk from Ramon's. Located in downtown San Pedro, Belize, the studio places you right in the heart of the island’s charm. With that comes occasional town sounds; small planes, passing carts, and local life balanced by beautiful stretches of calm and quiet.

How do I get there?

First, you need to fly into Belize City (Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport- BZE) and from there you have two options. The first option is to take the ferry from Belize City to San Pedro. The ferry will take around an hour and a half and costs approximately 31 USD (one way). This option does require leaving the airport and going to the ferry terminal which adds a little bit of extra time. The second option is to take the jumper plane from Belize City. Tropic air and Maya air are the two companies who fly into San Pedro. The flight is around fifteen minutes and is around 100 USD (one way). Whichever option you choose, we will be there to pick you up. 

Do I need yoga experience?

Absolutely not. The word Yoga literally means “to yoke”.. to join..unite. We want to create a space of unity where people can learn about themselves and maybe meet some friends along the way. The physical practice is one part of yoga and is completely optional. Although two classes are offered per day, if you are craving more of a physical practice, there is an option for two extra classes per day (offered by tara at Zen Belize). 

Do I need travel insurance?

Unforeseen events can happen and it is definitely recommended to purchase your own travel insurance. 

Where will we have our meals?

Five dinners and daily breakfasts are included in your retreat experience. All meals will be served at Pineapples, the resort’s on-site restaurant, with a variety of options available, including vegan and gluten free selections.

Breakfast is served from 6:00–11:00 AM and dinner from 5:00–9:00 PM. Lunch is available at the resort, or you’re welcome to explore the many charming local spots in San Pedro. A curated list of our favorite recommendations will be shared closer to the retreat.

How many people will be on the retreat?

There are fourteen spots available for the retreat. Although we will have a ton of time to spend as a group, there is also a lot of alone time available including a few hours each day of free time to do what you want. 

Is the area safe?

San Pedro is very safe! Tara has lived on the island for about fifteen years. Megan has traveled there a few times and as a tourist has always felt extremely safe and also extremely welcomed by the locals. 

What currency is used in Belize?

The currency used in Belize is the Belizean dollar (BZD). They also accept American if you would prefer to pay with US cash. 

Do I need a visa?

Upon entry you will be given a thirty day visa. If you choose to stay longer than 30 days you will have to extend you visa which costs around 100 USD.
