About your trip

Discover the magic of Belize in a transformative Jungle to Sea Yoga & Meditation Retreat!

This unique seven-day journey takes you to two breathtaking locations, immersing you in the heart and spirit of Belizean culture, surrounded by the natural environment.

We’ll start our journey in the lush rainforest for 3 nights, where you’ll connect with the wisdom of the trees and the vibrant energy of the jungle. Nestled among the treetops in Belize’s Maya Mountains, this eco-lodge offers jungle casitas and tree houses with stunning views, where you’ll experience vibrant wildlife, kayak the river, and indulge in farm-to-table meals.

From there, we venture onto a pristine private island for 4 nights, just two miles from the Belize Barrier Reef, where you'll practice yoga in an overwater palapa, waking to the sounds of the Caribbean Sea, whose gentle rhythm sets the tone for relaxation and renewal.

This retreat is hosted at two exceptional centers, each deeply rooted in nature and Belizean beauty!

Enjoy seven incredible days of yoga, tropical sunshine, ocean breezes, local cuisine, coconuts, and deep rest at Thatch Caye Resort and Sweet Song eco- Lodge. Led by Vivica Schwartz( E-RYT 500, and 25 years of teaching experience), this retreat is a profound exploration into aligning with your innate wisdom and abiding in your inner sanctuary.

Each day will feature diverse yoga practices—including Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Yoga , Pranayama and Meditation. In the jungle, we will be exploring an ancient Mayan site, chocolate making, night hiking, and floating down the river in a canoe or tube. When we get to the private island, there will be plenty of time to chill and simply be, as well as a guided Barrier Reef snorkeling tour, paddle boarding, kayaking and bonfires.
