This eco-lodge is a Caribbean gem on the Island of Dominica and offers a dynamic collection of retreat, adventure, spa treatments, wellness, yoga, gourmet cuisine, local culture, and history.

It’s the perfect spot to unplug from everything as you reconnect to yourself and the Nature Island of the Caribbean. The rooms are on a hill, separated by nature.

Alissa & Jenn are Senior Teachers at Yoga Home, an award-winning studio in suburban Philadelphia.  Their blended expertise in sequencing, physiology and philosophy with a joyful approach ensures practices that will inspire, empower and transform.

Alissa

Alissa first discovered yoga in 2010 while pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles; However, it soon became clear that acting was not her true life passion.  She completed her training in 2012 and started teaching right away. She prioritizes continuing education through home practice, self-study, and training with senior teachers whenever possible. As a teacher, she challenges her students by encouraging discipline as well as patience with themselves. Her greatest hope is that they learn something every time they walk into her class. 

She is noted for her precise verbal cueing, thoughtful sequencing, and joyful presence in the classroom. She is a skilled facilitator and excited to be leading another destination retreat. Last year’s participants praised Alissa for helping them grow so much in their practice in such a short time.

Jenn

Jenn’s yoga journey began in 2007, as a way to complement her running, but her love and depth of the practice has grown dramatically.  An E-RTY 500, with multiple certifications, she’s trained extensively in various modalities of yoga, mindfulness, body mechanics and energy healing, all of which she weaves seamlessly into her teaching.  A skilled and gifted teacher and born nurturer with over 15 years’ experience, she embodies positive energy and empowers students to tap into their best selves.   

As a marathoner and triathlete, Jenn understands the physical, mental, and emotional demands of the body.  She brings an abundance of grace and compassion to every student, whether they’re brand-new beginners or seasoned yogis.  Her hands-on adjustments are divine; her facilitation skills allow retreat participants to drop in deeply into their experience.  Past retreat participants praise Jenn’s teaching for supporting them in having a meaningful “reset”, perhaps the biggest gift a teacher can give.

Testimonials

“Was beyond my expectations in all ways. Significantly strengthened and deepened my asana practice in all aspects. I’ve been doing yoga for 10+ years and have never felt stronger on my mat.” – 2026 Panama Retreat participant 

“I came to Jenn’s class at Yoga Home after feeling like the soul of yoga was missing from other studios I went to. Not the case here!  She does an excellent job fostering a sense of community where you feel more at ease getting to know other students.  I leave feeling physically, mentally and spiritually refreshed!”  – Yoga Home student 

“Alissa’s classes are always wonderful. She is an expert at body dynamics and sequencing. I always feel better aligned and stronger after her classes. She also brings a font of wisdom about yoga philosophy and how to bring yoga off of your mat into the world. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to practice with her.” – Yoga Home student

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance.

Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

We have partnered with Trawick International (available for U.S. Residents only). Read more about their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
