Make New Connections

Connect with like-minded individuals and form lasting friendships in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Soul Strength has grown into a beautiful and inspiring community where everyone feels safe, comfortable and welcome to share their practice at their own level and pace.

ONE GOAL

Rejuvenate, Restore and Recharge

In a world where we often feel stressed, overwhelmed, and disconnected, I invite you to let go of life's distractions and connect more deeply with your yoga practice. 


It can be easy to lose touch with our inner calm and well-being. Constant stress, overwhelming responsibilities, and the pressure to stay connected can leave us feeling depleted and disconnected from ourselves. 


Give yourself the gift of slowing down by practicing yoga and taking care of yourself in one of the most beautiful places you can imagine! Surround yourself with nature and harness the one-of-a-kind energy that Xinalani has to offer.

FACILITATOR

Melany James

I love to teach and to share my love of yoga and meditation with my students.


The emphasis in my classes is on teaching students to be aware of their breath and its connection to their foundation, movement, and core. Making a connection between the mind, movement and breath will not only change your practice on the mat, but it can also change your life in so many positive ways!


In my classes, experienced practitioners will find a challenging and supportive environment, while newcomers will discover a space where modifications and alternatives are always offered.


I invite everyone to join me from “wherever they are” to experience the transformative power of yoga and meditation.

  • What happens if I need to cancel?

  • Should I get travel insurance?

    It is highly recommended that you get travel insurance in case you need to cancel your trip. We have no choice but to follow the retreat center's cancellation policy; therefore, it is best to have insurance in case you need to cancel. 

  • I would like shared accommodation, but I will be travelling alone. How does that work?

    I will do my best to match you with someone travelling alone who wishes to share accommodations. 


    However, if that is not possible, you may need to be in a single-occupancy room, which would change the rate of your accommodations. Please add a note in the comments section of the web form, and I'll do my best to match you with another attendee.  


  • Is the yoga retreat the right level for me?

    Contrary to popular belief, Ashtanga-inspired Flow Yoga is for all levels! Let me show you how, even if you have never practiced this style of yoga before - it will be an enriching experience for you, I have no doubt.
