The New York Times named Dominica one of the 52 places to Visit in 2024!
Dominica is home to dozens of waterfalls, hot springs and lakes, unique reefs for snorkeling, dramatic walls for diving, 300 miles of hiking trails, and 170 different bird species. The nourishing volcanic soil and mineral-rich water sources provide a wide variety of tropical foods, fresh fish and farm-to-table delights.
Join Rosie for a week of good company, intelligent yoga practice, outdoor activities, and delicious local food at Jungle Bay on Dominica, the “Nature Island of the Caribbean”.
Each morning begins with an active yoga class followed by a delicious breakfast. There is the time each day for exploring the island on hikes, snorkeling in the warm waters of the marine reserves, bird watching, spa treatments or simply relaxing on site. In the mid afternoon, a longer practice could include an active or restorative practice and pranayama.

Testimonials
“Don’t miss out on a yoga retreat with Rosie Richardson! Rosie is a gifted teacher who can teach to all levels and challenge each participant in a supportive and caring way. My husband and I attended her retreats in Mexico, Guatemala, and Dominica. While I am a regular yoga practitioner, my husband is more casual, yet we both had enrichening yoga and recreational experiences at each retreat. Ever mindful of the stunning retreat locations, Rosie facilitates our opportunities - whether in groups or on our own - to hike, swim, snorkel, eat delicious local food, and enjoy the company of our fellow yogis. You will leave feeling relaxed and renewed. And like us you’ll want to come back.”
