About this Retreat
During a year-long world trip with her husband Remy, Kelly rediscovered yoga in a profound way. Leaving her career as a tax advisor in Amsterdam, her life opened up for many different paths to follow. She embraced yoga as an inner journey of self-exploration, trusting intuition, and embracing uncertainty. This journey fueled her passion for personal growth and healthy living and she feels so fortunate to share these passions with others at Eden on the Chocolata.
Remy, from The Netherlands, Breathwork Coach, Yoga Teacher, and owner of Eden, decided he wanted a change in his life and focused on sharing his passions with you, with love and dedication.
Their interest in becoming a better version of themselves and living a healthy lifestyle has always a big part of his life since his professional tennis career.
He traveled the world with Kelly for over a year and got inspired in many ways. He did his yoga teacher training and found his passion for surfing, cooking, yoga, breathwork, and hosting guests. He has experience in teaching yoga, breathwork, and surfing for many years and wants to inspire other humans to do this activities and follow their passions.

The yoga classes will be meditative and healing, but they will take it a step further by sharing the teachings of yoga which you can take OFF the mat, into your daily life. This retreat is a well-balanced program between exploring your surroundings and diving deep into your practices.

Imagine waking up to the sounds of the birds, the monkeys, and the trees.
You take a stroll through the garden of Eden where your fresh brewed coffee awaits. Your stroll will take you further up to the ocean-view yoga shala, where you wake up the body and quiet the mind through an energized morning flow. You feel the connection with nature as you are mesmerized by its beauty. Today your teacher is inviting you to connect with the element water, to be playful, and accepting, and to go with the flow. This is exactly what you do today. After a delicious multi-course breakfast, you step out of your comfort zone and join one surf class.
It is challenging but mostly fun. In the afternoon you decide to take it easy. The lodge invites you to relax at the pool or in the hammocks. The sunset evening yoga class slows you down. While the sky is turning pink, your teacher is taking you on an inner journey. After class, your three-course healthy and nourishing dinner awaits. You feel deeply connected and accepted by like-minded people at the lodge. Another stroll takes you down to your bungalow, the garden lights up with fairy lights. Whatever the circumstances are, right at this moment, life is good.

Accommodation
During this retreat, you will be staying in Eden on the Chocolata which is an eco-lodge in a beautiful garden on the road named La Chocolata. The luxury cabanas have been built to give you the experience of living among nature without compromising on your comfort. Eden on the Chocolata believes in an ethical approach to all aspects of business and treads lightly on the environment, therefore it runs on solar power, and the glass, papers, and plastics are recycled. Inspired by nature, Eden has six 40-meter square private wooden cabanas. Every bungalow has its own king-size bed (or you can separate the bed into 2 single beds), mosquito net, fan, private bathroom, and balcony with a Nica-style hammock. Eden will be your home away from home where you can get into the habit of doing yoga, being active, eating healthy, taking the time to wind down, relax, and making new friends over family-style dinners.
