5-Day Women's Beachfront Yoga and Meditation Retreat on Anna Maria Island, Florida

The week starts on Tuesday at 2:30 pm with a shuttle pickup from Tampa International Airport, then sangria and snacks by the pool at 4:00 pm, dinner and introductions at 6:00 pm, and sunset intentions on the beach at 8:00 pm. Wednesday opens with an 8-9 am breakfast buffet, heart opening yoga at 9:00 am and a workshop called The Art of Possibility at 10:00 am. From 11:00 am to 6:00 pm the day is free, then it is sunset happy hour and light bites at 6:00 pm, a mindful beach walk at 7:30 pm and sunset gratitude meditation at 8:00 pm.

Thursday is the earliest start: sunrise yoga at 6:45 am, guided meditation at 7:30 am, breakfast at 8:00 am and a workshop on affirmations and healing at 9:30 am. Free time runs 11:00 am to 6:00 pm, followed by happy hour, then Sunset Sundaes: Build Your Own at 7:30 pm. Friday has breakfast at 8:00 am, the Manifest Intention Community Beach Mandala at 9:00 am, free time from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, a gratitude dinner at 6:00 pm, the Burning Ceremony: Let that Shit Go! at 7:30 pm and sunset Yoga Nidra at 8:00 pm. Saturday is a 7:00 am grab-and-go breakfast and the shuttle pickup.

What separates this from a standard yoga week is the amount of unscheduled time. Most days have a seven-hour block in the middle with nothing programmed, so you can stay on the beach, walk into town or sleep. The house sits directly on the sand with shared beach chairs and shade provided, and the sunset sessions happen on the beach rather than in a studio.

The retreat is hosted by a partner of Retreat in the Pines. The page does not name the individual teacher leading the yoga and meditation sessions, so no instructor name or certification is given here.

Anna Maria Island is a barrier island on Florida's Gulf coast, reached by shuttle from Tampa International Airport. The beach house is beachfront, with a pool used for the Tuesday sangria and snacks. The page does not list the island's towns, restaurants or other local attractions.
