In this natural haven for thriving sea life you will be surrounded by the laid-back nature of local nurse sharks, dancing coral beds, and an array of colorful fish.


Caye Caulker South Channel, Shark Ray Alley, and the Swash are popular local destinations for snorkeling. Our experienced guides will help you discover many different marine species such as parrotfish, lobsters, angelfish, tarpon, eagle rays, and many more. We’re here to answer questions, point out sea wildlife, and make sure you get the most out of your journey into the underwater world.

Another amazing retreat with yogabeyondthestudio. This is my fifth retreat, second one back to Italy. The accommodations and food were perfect, The yoga/Instructors guided me through at my own pace. It was great to be back with friends I’ve made on other retreats and to enjoy the excursions together. I look forward to Greece In May, and look forward to meeting so many of my retreat, friends there.

The BEST TRIP! The Villa was amazing, the food was amazing, the excursions are amazing! The staff at the Villa went above and beyond to make our trip absolutely perfect for all of us! Alex and Yasmine at the Villa made sure everyone had what they needed at any time! Also, I had one of the best massages I have ever had by Yasmine at the Villa. Shayna, Allie and Colleen led the retreat perfectly! Everything was communicated and coordinated so we didn't have to worry about a thing! Yoga Beyond the Studio knows how to make a girl feel pampered and taken care of. Perfect break from reality to refresh and re-energize!

A very memorable experience. Pilates, the Mayan ruins, cave tubing, zip lining, and Caye Caulker. The most unique experience and perfect retreat. I will continue to enjoy yoga beyond the studio retreats, they’re the best!

This was a fantastic trip! It was just the right amount of “participation” (no pressure), Nicole is the best, and I can’t imagine being with a greater group of fun and amazing ladies! Shayna thought of everything, the packing list was very helpful for someone packing last minute, and the gift bags were used by everyone. The jungle resort was great with good food and very friendly and accommodating people.

Shayna is an amazing yoga instructor. I'm a beginner to yoga and can say that Shayna teaches yoga in a way that is always approachable and fun. Her retreats are truly experiences of a lifetime, unique and memorable. Shayna's incredible attention to details means that the retreat is planned very well which is exactly what you need when you're trying to de-stress and relax on vacation. I highly recommend her Yoga retreats!
