What Is Octoba Yoga?

Yoga enthusiasts and wellness seekers will enjoy a multitude of yoga styles, themed classes, meditation experiences, and informative workshops throughout October, all facilitated by world-class professionals.

Scheduled yearly, Octoba Yoga complements the comprehensive wellness offerings of BodyHoliday.

It is yoga for all levels and offers ample space to try out different classes which make it festive for movement, mindfulness and stillness.

Merging Wellness with Yoga

Wellness practices comprise an entire lifestyle in the view of BodyHoliday, rather than something to be compartmentalized in a regimen. While undergoing yoga, one is able to take spa treatments, enjoy the nutritious food, engage in exercises and mindfulness sessions, and enjoy other wellness practices offered throughout the resort. Like most clients, BodyHoliday guests often utilize the Ayurvedic center, the skin clinic, and many of the fitness programs to create a wholesome experience.

For individuals interested in reconnecting with nature and learning about living a plant-based life, BodyHoliday offers I-tal organic garden. Guided walks and workshops often delve into Ayurvedic herbs, home-grown produce, and other elements of natural living.

A Month of Self-Reflection, Strength, and Stillness

BodyHoliday Yoga is more than just a collection of yoga sessions, instead it is a chance to breathe, reflect, live with intention, and embrace the slow-paced life that many often miss. It is an inward journey and is made simple about passionate presenters, a world class resort, and the breathtaking nature of St. Lucia.

BodyHoliday Yoga is designed to allow guests to embrace transformation and reconnect with the self, hence it is perfect for people seeking relaxation. It is inclusive–offering a wholesome mix between mindfulness practices and movement.

Namaste.
