ladyvana x PANAMA 2023 retreat
NOV 5th- 11th 2023
A yoga retreat for the modern woman. Combining nature, yoga, meditation, journaling and exceptional food, all set to a perfectly curated playlist. Time to pause, reflect and remember who you are.
First we talk. We don't chat. We talk about real shit. You might cry but don't worry, most people do. We will tell you not to apologize for your tears. You need this release, so go. You are a part of this sisterhood now and we got you. Together we can cry, laugh, listen, hold, learn and create. Eventually we will move our bodies in a kind way and speak to ourselves in a gentle and compassionate voice. We will tell ourselves 'I forgive you'. 'I'm learning to love you.' 'I am listening now.'
We will sweat and push because sometimes we need that kind of heat to purify our occasionally toxic minds and bodies. After this we will be still. You will maybe hear birds, or waves, or monkeys or the sound of someone else’s breath. But most of all you will hear yourself.
You'll let the sunshine warm your bones as you settle in little deeper. We will hear each other and we will heal each other. We are here to be seen. We are in this together.

THE INTENTION
The intention of this week is to nourish on all levels. We see yoga, nature, laughter, connections (and sometimes margaritas) as powerful medicine for the weary soul.
This is a space to get real about your life, clear the blocks, open your heart and tell your story. We deeply understand the need to bring women together to feel safe, seen and supported.
wHO IS THIS FOR
Well you. And other like minded, genuine, curious, creative souls who want to stretch, wander the jungle, get away, be good to themselves. The retreat content is geared toward women of all ages looking to recalibrate, reflect and adventure . Some women bring their sisters, coworkers, bffs and moms and many others enjoy coming solo. It’s your choice and if you’ve found us, chances are, this is the week for you.
THE LOCATION
The peaceful Panamanian village of Cambutal is located in the province of Los Santos in the Azuero Peninsula. It is about a five-hour drive away from the capital Panama City, and is situated in the southernmost point of Panama.
Cambutal’s beautiful beaches and mountains provide the ideal setting for a relaxing vacation experience where you will find inspiration from everything that surrounds you.
Fill your days exploring miles of Pacific coastline, enjoying some of the best surfing in Panama, eating delicious meals prepared with fresh local produce, or practicing yoga with the sound of ocean waves guiding your breath.
Cambutal is a special place that will grab your soul and help you build deep connections as you rely on those around you to uphold, support and encourage you to push your limits and reach your potential.
THE YOGA
The yoga is an intermediate flow style. Expect creative flows with big heart and deep hip opening. Classes are themed with deep intention to open you on every level. We suggest having at least 15 yoga classes under your belt before you attend a retreat but there are plenty of ways to modify for more beginner or advanced practices. Please let us know about your injuries prior to the retreat. La Joya has a beautiful open-air space for our practices, facing the ocean.
The breathwork
The breathwork is a deeply transformational experience designed to awaken stagnant energy and release emotions. It works in beautiful balance with our movement and self development work.
