YOGA + BOARDGAME RETREAT WITH PATRICK
BASTIMENTOS ISLAND, PANAMA
SEPTEMBER 6–12, 2026
TESTIMONIALS
Wow. This was my first yoga retreat, and Patrick was an amazing leader. His teaching style is welcoming but challenging when you want it to be, and relaxing and calming for yin. The surroundings were peaceful and beautiful, the food was delicious and wholesome, and although I wasn’t expecting to make new friends, I did so despite myself.
The retreat happened during an unexpectedly difficult time in my life, and it was the perfect experience to disconnect from that and reconnect with myself.
I can’t wait to attend future retreats.

I had an incredible experience on my Yaya Yoga retreat in Panama! The instruction was outstanding. Each day built on the last, and by the end of the week I was amazed at the progress in my practice and the calm I felt from our daily sessions.
Our accommodations were stunning, with sweeping views of the jungle and ocean and frequent wildlife sightings, including sloths and monkeys!
Patrick was incredibly helpful, from coordinating travel details before the trip to leading us through the week. He made sure both our practice and our excursions were well taken care of. The group he brought together was wonderful, too.
I’ll definitely be going on another retreat with Patrick!
