Winter Escape

Panama Yoga Retreat

Isla Solarte, Bocas Del Toro

February 28 - March 6th, 2027

Escape the cruel NYC winter and land in this richly biodiverse archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. Join me for 6 nights / 7 days on Isla Solarte, known for its tranquil atmosphere, lush rainforests, incredible snorkeling, surfing, and diving.

Our home will be Roam Yoga & Wellness, a waterfront property situated on four lush, jungle-covered acres. There are sloths!! You can swim, snorkel, and paddleboard right from the property, and there's even a coral reef restoration project next door. The accommodations are chic, comfortable, and immersed in nature. I especially fell in love with the giant open-air yoga shala with ocean views and an Iyengar-style rope wall. We'll share three nourishing meals each day in the open-air dining room overlooking the sea. Stunning beaches, hiking trails, surf spots, and the lively, walkable town of Bocas are just minutes away by water taxi.

  • 6 nights accommodations at Roam Yoga and Wellness, a waterfront 4-acre sustainable yoga retreat center in Bocas del Toro, Panama

FAQ’S

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is for you if you love adventure, want to connect with nature, and are looking for an escape that feels very far from home (in the best way).

Where is the retreat held?

Our retreat will take place at Roam Yoga and Wellness, situated on Isla Solarte in Bocas del Toro, Panama

How do I get to the retreat center?

  • Fly into Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama City, Panama.

  • Transfer to Albrook International Airport (PAC) and fly with Air Panama (45 minute flight) to Bocas del Toro (BOC).

  • 3 hours in between your international and domestic flights is recommended. Often times, it’s best to spend one night in the city. I can recommend hotels for Panama City, and can help you coordinate with other retreat guests.

  • Tickets should be purchased directly from the Air Panama website.

  • Upon your arrival at Bocas del Toro Airport, you’ll be picked up and will board the water taxi (10 min) directly to the retreat.

What are the rooms like?
The property has several different casitas. All rooms have overhead fans, window screens, hot water, screened porches, memory foam bedding, kitchenettes or coffee nooks, wifi, and ensuite bathrooms (unless otherwise specified.) Choose between a shared triple, double, or private accommodation. Please note, this is an off-grid, solar-powered retreat center, and the rooms do not have AC. You’ll keep cool at night with the ocean breeze and overhead fans.

Can I come alone?
Absolutely! Many participants join solo. I’ll pair you with a roommate in a double, triple, or quad unless you’ve booked a private room.

Can I come with a friend, friends, or partner?
Yes to all! You’re more than welcome to come with others. If you’re coming with a friend or partner, let me know and I’ll make sure you’re roomed together.

What level of yoga experience is required?
All levels are welcome. If you have any questions or concerns, just let me know!

How many people will be on the retreat?

This is an intimate retreat of around 10-12 participants.

Do I need travel insurance?
Yes, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your trip. I can help you find the best option for you.

What’s the weather like?
Late February/Early March in Bocas is part of the dry season, however it’s still the rainforest so expect showers! Daytime temp is typically between 80-85 degrees, with cooler pleasant nights. Think warm and moist— the perfect remedy for a dry NYC winter. Expect bugs, frogs, toads, snakes, sloths, caimans— all the amazing wildlife with which we’ll share our company!

What is due at the time of booking?
A $750 deposit is required to secure your spot, as well as signing the Terms and Conditions. The second payment is due November 15th, and the remaining balance is due on January 15, 2027. You can also choose to pay in full at booking.

Are payment plans available?

Yes! The default pay schedule is three payments, but this can be adjusted based on your need. Just let me know!
