Jamaica Yoga Retreats

While I was working at YogaLife, I contacted Chandra about her yoga retreat in Jamaica so we could include it on the ‘Upcoming Retreats’ page. Chandra emailed me details about her June dates and I replied saying it was a shame there weren’t any retreats in July as I was planning to be in Kingston for a few weeks visiting my brother.

She called me five minutes later – she was planning two retreats in July. We arranged to meet for breakfast one morning and talk about it. Chandra’s enthusiasm and passion for what she was trying to create were infectious – and I decided I would attend her seven-day retreat in July.

In February 2014, I went on a yoga retreat with Yoga Bless in Jamaica. It was a great experience: friendly and simple, with time for relaxation by the pool, activities in the ocean, becoming healthier and meeting unusual people, with five countries represented when I was there.

Want to spice up your yoga practice but feel like you don’t have the time to attend a yoga retreat? Many people think you need a long time to do so. But the truth is, there’s no need to spend more than 3-4 days to get all its benefits. Even a night or two could be enough!

If there’s a good time to travel around the UK, it’s during summer! The weather is warm, the sun is shining, the school’s on vacation, people are in high spirits and there’s a myriad of ideas to have fun outside.
