When we ask people why they choose Eden to retreat, the most common answer is to escape the winter and find relaxation. This answer perfectly explains why our yoga retreats in the tropics are so popular during the colder months. As winter approaches, it’s essential to embrace the Ayurvedic principles. They remind us to nourish and nurture our bodies. Winter is a time for grounding practices and hearty foods that counterbalance the cold. It’s a season for reflection, self-care, and emphasize routines that support balance and health. So, how can a retreat at Eden support you during this time of year?
How a Yoga Retreat at Eden Supports Winter’s Needs
Our yoga retreats are carefully designed to help you reflect, recharge, and truly connect with yourself. This is your opportunity to tune inward, nourish your body with healthy, wholesome food, and cultivate positive habits that align with winter’s natural rhytms. Imagine doing all of this in a vibrant tropical environment, where sunshine bathes you in warmth all year round.

Eden’s Mission While Being in the Tropics
In our busy lives, finding time to re-center can be tough, which can often lead to feelings of stagnation. However, immersing ourselves in a new environment can shift our perspectives and inspire growth in unexpected ways. Why not choose the tropics? Here, you can soak up vitamin D, recharge your energy, and embrace nature’s healing power. Eden’s mission is to inspire you to live consciously, connect, and keep growing into the person you aspire to be.
Let Nature Teach You to Live Consciously
During our retreats, we experience the gift of time and engage in meaningful practices. Through yoga classes, workshops, and ceremonies, we equip you with tools to shape the life you want. Together, we identify your core values—those guiding principles that can help you navigate everyday life. No matter the circumstances, living in alignment with your values will enable you to find success and fulfillment each day.
Living consciously stands as one of our core values, and we demonstrate this commitment throughout our retreats. First, we raise your awareness of unconscious thoughts and behaviors, empowering you to intentionally cultivate healthy habits. Furthermore, you will enjoy delicious meals made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, which help you fuel your body mindfully while staying away of processed foods. As a result, you’ll gain a sense of control and agency over your life, allowing you to shift from passively experiencing life to actively creating it.
Connect With Nature, Yourself and Like Minded People
A yoga retreat in the tropics also invites you to connect. To connect with nature, with others, and with your inner self. The healing influence of being immersed in natural beauty is a foundational aspect of our retreats. Nature always looks for balance and harmony and we encourage you to find that within yourself too.
Journaling and self-reflection are essential components of our program, allowing you to reflect and connect with yourself. Through breathwork classes and Temazcal ceremonies, you will peel back the layers of your existence to reconnect with your blissful state of being.
Our retreats often attract like-minded travelers, supporting a welcoming community where deep friendships are being made. Whether sharing communal meals, exploring the beach, or enjoying smoothies by the pool, you’ll find plentiful opportunities to connect with others who share your journey. Embracing these connections with nature, your true self, and your fellow retreat goers enriches your experience to a whole new level.
Embracing the Challenges From a Tropical Environment
In the tropics, you’ll be in warmth, sunshine, and breathtaking scenery—but you’ll also encounter challenges that encourage personal growth. The heat can be intense, the sounds of the jungle may feel foreign, and the local culture might be unfamiliar. During your stay we invite you to embrace the unfamiliar and try new things. We encourage you to try an ice bath, to share in a cacao ceremony, to find deep relaxation during sound healing. Allow yourself to put away to-do lists and embrace the art of doing nothing. Finding comfort in discomfort not only clears the path for renewal; it opens doors to personal transformation.
Personal Transformation
This transformation is what Remy and I experienced when we gave up our lives in Amsterdam and stepped into the unknown to travel the world. The moment we embraced not knowing what would be our next step, we were able to fully enjoy the present and a new dream developed. A dream where all of our values would come together. A place where people live consciously, are able to connect and where they can keep growing into their best self. All in a tropical environment close to nature and where healthy living is the standard. It is a place called Eden on the Chocolata.
