Following the great success of our first fitness retreat to Puerto Rico this spring, we are returning this fall for more! This retreat combines the elements of land, sea and earth to provide our guests with an incredibly integrated trip that will get your body and brain in shape! Join Jessica Bellofatto and Gina Bradley of Paddle Diva and travel to Rincon - located in Puerto Rico’s rural Northwest corner. Only a three hour flight on Jet Blue from JFK, this location has the most beautiful stretches of beaches in all of Puerto Rico that offer calm waters, perfect for Stand-up Paddle Boarding, small surf breaks for beginners and larger waves and surf breaks for intermediate surfers. There are plenty of isolated beaches for private yoga sessions and relaxing!

For those who want to pamper themselves, we can arrange for affordable deep tissue massages, facials and Thai-massages right in your room or on the decks of our private house, Casa Azul. Gina Bradley is the owner of our Casa Azul accommodation and is an invaluable resource about Rincon and the environs. She will offer Stand-up paddling tours and lessons in addition to daily personal training sessions utilizing the surroundings to get in shape! Jessica Bellofatto will offer daily yoga classes and inspiration and encouragement throughout the trip.

This trip is all about you and what you want out of it, so you can do as much or as little as you desire. This is YOUR vacation!  You can enjoy an early morning run, or power walk, followed by a morning yoga session, surfing or stand-up paddling in the afternoons and a second yoga class in the early evening to further unwind from your day!
