While you do not need any yoga experience, it is best to have a basic level of fitness to be able to move comfortably through the classes, and through the retreat setting. A basic level of mobility and strength is best for this retreat as we will be moving, biking, walking, and swimming in the sea.

This retreat is designed for women who:

love the natural world or want to reconnect with it

crave a reset for their nervous system

live in cities or high-pressure environments

feel overstimulated or emotionally exhausted

are navigating a big decision or transition

desire a deeper relationship with their own feminine rhythms

value meaningful experiences that shift their perspective

are interested in yoga and embodiment practices

Don't worry- we get this question all of the time! We understand that although nature is incredible and transformative- there are parts that feel uncomfortable or scary. Bluff Beach Retreat center is an AMAZING mix of a place that is very natural and not overly manicured, but also very well maintained and clean. While there are animals and bugs around in nature- the staff does an amazing job of keeping them out of your room. There are mosquitos, just like in any tropical area- but because we are right in front of the ocean- the breeze does an amazing job at keeping them away. Please let us know if you have any specific questions about the level of nature you'll be in contact with.

You’re always invited, never required. Rest, solitude, and personal pacing are encouraged and honored throughout the retreat.

Once you register, you’ll receive a detailed packing list with guidance on clothing, footwear, and essentials for the tropical environment.

Yes. Many women come during periods of change. The retreat is designed to support clarity, grounding, and inner alignment. In our opinion, it is one of the best times to go to a retreat. You are welcome exactly as you are here.

Workshops and activities are experiential and nature-based, designed to support self-exploration through the lens of the natural world and our inner nature. Each experience invites you to connect with feminine qualities such as receiving, intuition, creativity, and cyclical rhythm.

Mindfulness, heartfulness, and playfulness are woven into everything we do. Through movement, meditation, guided inquiry, and creative expression, we explore how the elements of nature — earth, water, fire, and air — are reflected within us, not as concepts but as felt experiences.

These practices help release stored stress, deepen body awareness, and clarify how you naturally function best. Rather than focusing on fixing or self-improvement, the workshops emphasize embodiment, curiosity, and presence, allowing insights to arise organically while fostering connection, joy, and a sense of aliveness shared with others.
