Hiking Trails
Gallion Loop Trail
A moderate 2.5 hour hike via Soufriere then with steep switchbacks up into the hills and leads to the village of Gallion. This small mountain community is home to the talented stonemasons who helped to develop both Jungle Bay as well as the stone walls you will see along the roadsides. The trail loops back behind the mountains and returns. Along the way, learn about star fruit (carambola), cashews, mangos, cocoa, lemongrass or whatever other fruits are in season.
Boiling Lake

The Boiling Lake is the second largest of its kind in the world and was formed in an area known as the “Valley of Desolation”. Its located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

An easy to moderate hike to explore the misty mountain trail to Middleham Falls with a special treat down to the waterfall pool at the finish for an invigorating dip.
Traffalgar falls includes twin waterfalls, one flows with hot spring water and one is cold water.

A short walk within the “tail” of Dominica in the kind village of scoots head where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic oceans.

A 7 day yoga and wellness retreat on the island of Dominica, the Nature Island of the Caribbean, designed to help emerge into a new year revitalized, more balanced, fulfilled, and connected to your truth.
Wild Grace Wellness is about the calm in the un-calm, the ease in the effort, the truth in the unknown, the love in the doubt… the grace in the wild. Not one separate from the other, but the ability to access balance, the harmony of both and all. It’s about embracing all the parts of ourselves, accepting that things don’t have to be one way or make sense, and knowing that we can show up and start again daily. The wild, free, undefinable, and, the simple, easeful, grounded. So, let’s spend 7 days tapping into this balance, having the time of our lives, moving our bodies both in practice and in nature, experiencing deep rest, renewal, connection, aliveness and joy.
We’ll eat from the beautiful land and life of Dominica, discover the culture, immerse in nature, go on grand adventures, swim in the ocean, make new friends, meditate, and of course, practice a lot of yoga. The best handful of class experiences I’ve ever created. You’ll leave with simple and effective practices to enhance your mindset, strength, and energy, a deeper knowledge of yoga, and a totally fresh outlook on life as we welcome 2026.
Spots are limited, so dive in with me today.
