welcome to panama

Craving space to just be?

Can't hear yourself think lately?

Take a load off. Seriously.

A Soul-Nourishing Week for Those Ready to Feel Like Themselves Again

Oct 17–24, 2026 • Panama City + Bocas del Toro • Hosted with Travel Yogi


THE REST YOUR BODY HAS BEEN WHISPERING ABOUT

Life is nonstop, and you've been keeping things moving like a machine.

Soft days, unhurried meals, and ocean air help you actually feel the goodness you've been creating.

Your days are full of people asking questions, making decisions from morning till night, and you're always the steady one.

Quiet space lets you catch up with your heart without rushing.

This is where you get to hear what comes next.

You've been carrying a lot: work decisions, family logistics, and the quiet pressure of being the one who keeps everything running.

A week of warm air and slow mornings gives you room to feel like yourself again.

You’ve tried the quick resets. They help… until you’re back in the machine.

This is eight days of warm air, real rest, and nervous-system-TLC—split between Panama City + Bocas so you get both culture and true downshift.

Yoga practices offered morning + evening. Meals are paced to help you exhale: breakfast + dinners are included. Lunch is intentionally unstructured — explore, nap, snack, or join someone.

If your body’s been asking for space, this is your week.

this is for me

8 Days is Enough to Feel Like Yourself Again.

IN PANAMA

A quiet reunion with yourself... spacious afternoons, unhurried conversations, and the grounded pleasure of feeling at home in your own skin again.

RETURNING TO SELF

Movement that follows your breath instead of your to-do list. Space to feel your body unclench and remember its natural rhythm.

GENTLE MOVEMENT

The kind of morning where warmth finds you first. A soft start, ocean air, and the deep relief of not needing to be “on” for anyone.

SLOW MORNINGS

REST HONORS WHO YOU REALLY ARE

Warmth, water, and a pace that helps your body stop bracing

Why Panama

You get the texture of Casco Viejo—color, music, street life—then the full *ahhh* of Bocas: ocean air, barefoot mornings, and long stretches where nothing needs you.

October is the sweet spot: warm days, slower pace, and a clean break from grind-season energy back home.

because panama is a built-in nervous system reset.

It's more than a vacation.
It's a return.

save my spot

a day here feels like...

Space to recalibrate. Sun on your skin.

Mornings: warm movement + slow starts, no pressure to "make the most of it."
Midday: ocean, naps, wandering, nothing to manage.
Evenings: yoga practice, dinner, sleep that nourishes.

This week is designed to be spacious and held, so you remember what it feels like when life stops grabbing you by the collar—so your nervous system can stop bracing and start receiving.

Come for the ocean air and movement; leave with the kind of calm that actually follows you home.
