    The Jamaican Retreat
    Join Jamie and Terri for 7-14 days of yoga, beach, sun and relaxation.

    The Negril Yoga Center is located on the 7 mile Negril beach, on the west coast of Jamaica. Beloved by the hippies of the 1960s, Seven Mile Beach is still as beautiful as ever, Opening onto a tranquil lagoon protected by a coral reef, the beach here is set against a backdrop of sea grapes and coconut palms.
    This Negril beach promotes a laid-back lifestyle and carefree ambience more than any other in Jamaica or, perhaps, in the Caribbean. Clean aquamarine waters, coral reefs, and a backdrop of palm trees add to the appeal. When you tire of the beach, you can hide away within the cool breezes and hammocks of the yoga center just off the beach.

  • Yoga Program:
    The am morning practice will consist of 'mysore' style practice covering the primary sequence (Yoga Chikitsa). If Ashtanga is new to you, you'll be guided through as normal.

    The PM afternoon class will continue the practice of Ashtanga yoga by exploring the concepts and theories of Yama (ethical disciplines), Niyama (self observation), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense withdrawl), Dharana (one pointed concentration), Dhiyana (meditation) and Samadhi (enlightenment). Breath, drishti, bandha and vinyasa will be discussed in detail to describe the grace and beauty of the ashtanga practice. Additional topics will include yoga nidra, nutrition of a yogic diet, history and philsophy.

    Relax:
    Rejuvenate your spirits under the clear blue skies, waving palms and tropical sun. The Yoga Center is a seaside hideaway on the west tip of Jamaica in Negril, where you can put a little distance between yourself and the rest of the world. Our lifestyle is purely Jamaican in rhythm and tempo. We offer you a window to the local culture. Jamaica is an energetic island retreat with an easy going soulful flavor.

    Jump into the sea and discover the amazing plentitude of underwater life the Caribbean has to offer. See brain coral, pillar coral, sea fans, sponges, tropical fish of all shapes and colours and experience the graceful movement of a stingray gliding elegantly across your path. Snorkeling gear easily available for rent, with Scuba diving facilities located nearby. In addition, there is an assortment of water sports available.

    Meals:
    For breakfast and lunch we offer plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to cleanse your body and compliment your yoga practice (of course vegetarian meals are available). For dinners (which are on your own), you can eat at the yoga center restaurant or dozens of other restaurants are all within walking distance of the Yoga Center, plus the yoga center has a small communal kitchen, if your looking to keep your costs at a minimum.
