THE JOY OF YOGA RETREAT in JAMAICA
with Joy Montes, Danielle Tridenti and Kim Winn
THE JOY OF YOGA in JAMAICA. Joy is our true nature. Yoga is our natural state. Come back home and rediscover yourself in the luscious Caribbean.
Join Joy Montes, Danielle Tridenti and Kim Winn in Negril, Jamaica for a lusciously amazing yoga retreat. Enjoy seven nights and six days of complete relaxation, meditation, yoga, connection, and adventure while delighting in succulant, sumptuous and healthy food, flavorful local entertainment and exquisite and comfortable accommodation. Give your self the gift of total rejuvenation for your mind, body and spirit.
In addition to practicing daily meditation and yoga in paradise, the stunning Samsara Resort is on the west end cliffs of Negril and famous for panoramic sea views, tranquility, and stunning beauty. Samsara is just a short 5 min drive down the cliffside to the longest and widest, most beautiful stretch of beach in all the Caribbean, a tranquil lagoon of seven miles on white sand, turquoise water and coral reefs set against a backdrop of sea grapes and coconut palms. While the cliffs are known for exciting snorkeling, swimming, and scuba in clear Caribbean coves, Negril beach is laid-back with a carefree ambience to help you relax and rejuvenate. When you tire of the beach, you can hide away within the cool breezes and lounges at the Samsara.
