‘In St. Barth the ability to be out of doors is so liberating.’

Yoga practice is increasily popular on St. Barth. You’ll find teachers of Iyengar, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Hatha and Ashtanga yoga among others, and classes and personal lessons can take place in studios, on the beaches, or in the privacy of your villa.

Diana Bourel is a yoga instructor and transpersonal therapist who has lived on St. Barth since 1988. Every summer she runs a Yoga Challenge – a comprehensive five-week course of walks, hikes, meditation and yoga. Designed to help people reconnect with themselves physically and spiritually, it’s also a fantastic way to appreciate the natural beauty of the island.

If you wish to truly unwind and get in touch with the spiritual side of St. Barth, then we can also recommend the meditation group, which has met every Thursday for over a decade.
