Details

Root to Rise: A Yoga & Soul Retreat in Dominica You’ve poured into everyone else. Now it’s time to return to you. You’ve built a meaningful life — showing up for your work, your passions, and the people you love. But beneath the full calendar and the constant giving, there’s a quiet voice whispering: I’m tired. I miss myself. I want to feel alive again. This retreat is your moment to listen. To pause. To breathe. To come home to the woman you were before the world got loud. Imagine waking to the songs of the jungle, golden light streaming through the canopy. You move and breathe with the rhythm of nature — unhurried, grounded, fully present. Each day unfolds gently: morning yoga, nourishing meals, deep conversations, shared laughter, time for reflection, and stillness surrounded by women who see and understand you. Root to Rise is more than a retreat — it’s a remembrance. A return to your body’s wisdom, your heart’s truth, and the strength that comes from stillness. Because when you root deeply into yourself, you rise naturally — radiant, replenished, and ready to meet life again.

Testimonials

I attended Petra’s yoga retreat in Dominica, and it was the best time of my life. I was reborn, rejuvenated, and the happiest I’ve ever been. In fact I’m joining her upcoming retreat in March! Petra is a wonderful soul and human being. She is such a free spirit and managed to bring out the happy child in me. I found myself giggling freely the entire time. She listened to all her participants' needs from the bottom of her heart. Her yoga sessions were amazing, and by the end of the retreat, I was completely rejuvenated and ready to take on the world, mind, body, and soul. Thank you so much Petra.

I totally love Petra’s yoga classes, the hatha style as well as the yin yoga. Her knowledge is profound and through her energy healing the classes are just so relaxing but strengthening at the same time. A retreat with her is always transforming and inspiring.

Kathy, Paris

Petra is an amazing healer! Her insight into the human spirit and body is incredible! Her knowledge is deep and wide, and she’ll always find the perfect way to guide you into what you really need. Not only does she give the best yoga classes in Guadeloupe, but she also offers amazing yoga retreats in the most beautiful places! I had the chance to experience the one in Dominica and it was one of the best weeks of my life!

Emilie, Guadeloupe

Petra’s yoga retreat: bliss! I enjoyed my stay at Jungle Bay: caring staff, comfortable facilities, delicious food .. and excellent yoga classes with Petra. It was my third stay… out of many more. À self treat and a must-do!

Patricia, Guadeloupe

I gifted myself a two-week vacation and joined my friend for Petra’s yoga retreat at Jungle Bay for Christmas. The year prior, I joined my friend for one week and knew I had to return. Seeing the beautiful moringa tree and the scent of ylang ylang in the air instantly relaxed me. Petra and every single person at Jungle Bay make you feel cared for. The twice-a-day yoga classes relaxed and challenged me. Stretching my body and mind in the beautiful studios with postcard views and melodic sounds renewed me and helped me to rebalance. Petra’s yoga retreat at Jungle Bay is a must-do. There is so much beauty to experience on the island, and Petra will help you find it within yourself. It was a wonderful gift.
