Elementos: Yoga, Breathwork and Island Wellness in Roatán, Honduras

The retreat runs for four days at Ibagari Boutique Hotel in Roatán, Honduras, from 16 to 20 September 2026. Core Lab Wellness instructor Isa Perkinson leads the programme. Isa was born in Venezuela, raised in Miami, and holds an RYT-200 certification in Power Vinyasa. She found yoga in college and now teaches with an emphasis on breath, presence and moving with awareness. Her classes are the backbone of the schedule, supported by guest practitioners from the region who lead the sensorial sessions.

A typical day starts at 7am with a juice, coffee and tea station. Sculpt class runs at 8am, breakfast at 9am, then a journaling session at 11am. Lunch is at 1.30pm, followed by pool time at 3pm. The evening shifts pace: candlelit yoga at 5pm, a cacao ceremony at 6.30pm, sound bath meditation at 7.30pm and dinner at 8.30pm. Across the four days you get six yoga or sculpt classes and six sensorial experiences — sound bath, cacao ceremony, ice bath, breathwork and art therapy among them.

What separates this from a standard yoga week is the mix of practices. It is not only asana: the ice bath, breathwork and sound sessions are led by wellness practitioners from the region, and the cacao ceremony and art therapy sit alongside the physical work. The schedule is full enough to feel like a proper programme but leaves the middle of the afternoon open for the pool or the sea.

Ibagari Boutique Hotel is an adults-only property on Roatán, chosen for its privacy and its position near the water. The island itself is ringed by coral reef — clear water, coral gardens and a lot of marine life — so snorkelling and diving are realistic options in the free hours. The hotel is described as secluded and quiet, surrounded by ocean and jungle.

Meals are included and cooked by chefs using seasonal, local ingredients. The pricing is per person and varies by room: single $4,300, double $3,050 and triple $2,700. Airfare, spa treatments such as massages and facials, and alcoholic drinks are not included. Airport transfers to and from the hotel are included, as is a welcome gift bag.
