Where will we practice yoga and how many people does the yoga deck accommodate?
The villa's poolside deck is covered with a canopy to shade the sun and protect from any rain showers. We have blocks, straps, blankets and mats at the villa. We also recommend taking the group for yoga on the beach. There are several secluded beaches that are perfect for yoga practice and meditation. Additionally there are many hiking trails on the island that are wonderful for walking meditation.
The yoga deck comfortably accommodates an instructor and up to 10 students.
How do the logistics work while on retreat?
The villa owners (Scott and Deborah) will be "on call" throughout your entire stay for driving the group around the island to beaches, leading hikes, snorkels, boat excursions. We can be as much or little involved as you'd like, but we find that it is very helpful to have someone else do the driving and hike/snorkel planning. Part of what makes St. John unique as a Caribbean island is that 2/3 of the island is preserved as US National Forest. The island is extremely hilly and they drive on the left hand side. Depending on the interests of your group, we can help you plan different types of activities. Our intent is to take logistical burdens out of your retreat so that you can focus on planning the yoga content and enjoying yourself as much as your students surely will.
How does pricing work?
Instructors are charged on a per student basis. There is NO CHARGE for instructors. The rate includes all meals, accommodations and on-island transportation. You may either charge your students at this amount or increase it, and you keep difference as your profit.
What is the minimum and maximum number of students for a retreat?
The minimum is 4 students, plus the instructor and the maximum is 7 students. Florian Villa sleeps 6-8, depending on sleeping arrangements. Florian Villa Yoga Retreats are perfect for small groups.
