You are invited to TAKE TIME FOR YOU in this immersive yoga, meditation, and nature experience! Join Lorraine Aguilar and retreat for 7-nights in the beautiful Bocas del Toro, Panama.
This retreat allows you to experience the benefits of a daily yoga practice. We will have all the elements available to rest, rejuvenate, and experience living yoga from the inside out.

During this retreat, you’ll have the option to deepen your practice with a daily sitting or beachside meditation and breath-work session. As well as two, daily yoga classes (an all-level, gentler practice as well as a more active intermediate practice). All levels of experience are welcome!
All classes have an inspirational, therapeutic theme, designed to open the heart. Lorraine uses poses and sequences to emphasize the freedom and expansion of the breath’s energy. While we practice in this beautiful environment, we will relax, heal, revitalize, and restore our connection to ourselves and our lives.
Your days can consist of resting, reading, walks along the beach, bike riding, kayaking, paddle boarding, connecting with each other, as well as taking advantage of the many different island excursions. The excursions include; boat adventures to explore different island beaches and rainforests. Snorkeling and Diving to uncover some of the most beautiful marine life and coral reefs in Central America. Natural habitats and wildlife tours to view dolphins, monkeys, mangroves, sloths, sea turtles, and birds. We also have the opportunity to participate in a service project with the local community. Finally, in the evenings we’ll explore ancient and modern philosophies as a soulful inquiry for journaling and sharing circles.. maybe even a dance party!
You’ll return home from this special immersion with tools and practices to help you connect to the present moment and live your yoga from the inside out!

Testmonials
“Lorraine Aguilar is a holistic healer wrapped into yoga and physical therapy. I was supposed to have back surgery twelve years ago and had set the date. I was attending group yoga via Lorraine’s classes. I showed her my radiograph just by chance. She said trust me you just need physical therapy. I canceled my surgery and do yoga with her every week. My body feels strong, no back pain. I am liberated and grateful for her spirit, love and teachings.” -Linda M.
“I have studied yoga and meditation with Lorraine Aguilar for more than 20 years. The benefits of yoga classes, meditation circle and various workshops have been immeasurable for me. Her skill in teaching Alignment is superior. Through breath work, asanas & meditation, I have learned Awareness – being in the present moment. Going Inward, practicing gratitude, these lessons have brought a sense of peace to me. My eyes are more open, my heart is lighter, my journey – brighter. I am truly grateful for Lorraine’s teachings.
I am enamored by her many gifts – her wisdom, her skills in physical therapy, yoga therapy, all forms of yoga, Native American studies…. Her insightful lessons of the universe. Studying with many great teachers, Lorraine has become one herself. Many people in our community are enamored with Lorraine. She is a Light – A great leader.” –Carolyn H.
“Lorraine is my miracle worker. After back surgery I had continued pain refractory to physical therapy, requiring multiple epidural injections. Working with Lorraine I am now 100% pain-free and most importantly my quality of life is significantly improved. She has also given me life coaching and is a healer of mind and body! I can’t wait to participate in her next retreat!” -Conellia H.

Travel Insurance
We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. 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 two insurance companies: Trawick International and CSA Travel Insurance (available for U.S. Residents only).
