Ahhhh Belize….

Whether you’d like to laze in the beautiful scenery at the beach or poolside, or to seek thrills with the wind in your hair, Metta School of Yoga presents you with nothing short of the perfect retreat experience.

Come with us on a journey to beautiful Belize. The Belize Collections Resort in quaint Hopkins, Belize is a unique experience at one of the up-and-coming vacation destinations. Join us in nourishing your mind, body and spirit while exploring the hidden beauty of Belize.
Our mornings will begin with sunrise meditations for those that are early risers. Followed by a morning yoga session with a view of the amazing beach.
The morning practice will be followed by breakfast featuring outstanding local foods and recipes at the amazing resort restaurant. The days are yours to spend as you wish: at the pool and hot tub, lounging, using the spa services (they offer a full-service menu if you are interested), and a variety of ½ and full day amazing adventures Monday thru Friday, which can be booked once we arrive. These can include tours of Mayan ruins, snorkeling, barrier reef tours, cave tours, etc.
Our evenings will offer several types of optional classes throughout the week. We’ll close each day with dinner and sharing friendship on the beach. There are different meal packages that are offered. We would recommend mixing it up for lunch and dinner at some of the local establishments.

My many highlights on our retreat in Belize were first the yoga & meditation. The yoga practice was unmatched. It taught me something new every class and challenged me to a new level. The meditation allowed me peace & serenity, sealing my mind, body & spirit in complete gratitude and compassion. Sharing this space with new & old friends was an added plus.
I chose a beachfront room where I would wake up before sunrise and enjoy my coffee.
I did the ATM Mayan cave tour. It’s one not to miss. You are surrounded by spectacular sights throughout the cave. It’s really a travel back in time.
I also did the bio luminescence river tour. The river lite up with colors of blue and green as the water was moved. You could follow the fish as they darted around the boat. The night sky was bright with stars without the interference of city lights.
One of the chefs, Cleveland, treated us to to the most tasty jalapeño and peanut soup when he heard me ask if soup was on the lunch menu. I asked that he not prepare anything special but he insisted. It was the best food I had! – Joanne

Pura Vida was a delightful experience! The Vista room provided a breathtaking view of the central valley, both day and night. The food was fresh and flavorful, especially using the various homemade sauces provided. My daily turmeric tonic was delicious as well. The yoga was varied and enjoyable and I meditated daily for the first time! All of my spa treatments were unique, mindful and thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you!

This was such a wonderful leap of faith for me! I didn’t know the group very well but based on the joy I always felt after classes at Shanteel, I was drawn to do something unlike I’ve never done before. What a fun group of people; so much laughter, some personal insights and hopefully some growth. Great choices on excursions and spa treatments. I am so glad I came. Thank you!!

The resort was beautiful, it was well maintained and clean. The food was excellent, fresh and well prepared. The excursions were fun and the pool area was great for socializing. I stayed in a tentalow and enjoyed it very much and highly recommend.

The resort was surrounded by lush foliage and tropical flowers. I awoke each morning to the sound of birds singing, the smell of fresh coffee and guided meditation and yoga. The food was organic and the taste was exceptional. Although I did not know many people on the retreat, I felt welcome and included. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a unique experience.
