Paradise in Panama Retreat

Join Julia Clarke on Panama’s stunning Isla Colon and experience the healing power of nature in a secluded jungle oasis perched over the Caribbean sea. Together we’ll dive into twice daily yoga and meditation practices in the fresh air of the yoga deck to enliven your body’s natural inclination to move freely, enjoy freshly cooked meals with ingredients sourced from the on-site tropical garden, and soak up the abundant natural splendor of this peaceful island. Spend the days exploring nearby beaches by boat, take a kayak out to the bird sanctuary, soak in the colors and aromas of Bocas Town, read by the pool, paddle board or snorkel from our private beach, or simply enjoy in the sounds of the sea and feel the warm breeze on your skin. This retreat is designed to be a truly rejuvenating as you nourish your body and mind, tap into nature, and embody the easy flow of island life.

GETTING THERE

Plan to arrive on Sunday, October 6 by 5pm to enjoy our first yoga practice and evening meal together. Check out of your room is at 11am on Friday, October 11 after morning yoga and breakfast, however you’re welcome to stay on site as your travel arrangements dictate.

The easiest route is to book your return flight to and from Panama City (spending a night or two in the city’s heritage Casco Viejo neighborhood, a UNESCO site, is highly recommended if you have time!). From there you can take the short flight from Albrook International airport in Panama City to Bocas Del Toro airport where we will pick you up and take you to the retreat center. There are typically three flights a day and these must be booked directly via Air Panama.

Be aware that there are two airports in Panama City: Tocumen International where you will most likely arrive from the US, and Albrook International from where you will fly to the island. If you’re making a connection without spending time in the city, be sure to leave yourself enough time to take an Uber across town.

If you’re planning a longer trip, you may prefer to look into train and bus travel from Panama City to Almirante, followed by a ferry to Bocas Del Toro.

Costa Rica and Colombia are also great options for an expanded trip!
