With Dina Pappalardo
April 23-27th, 2025
Harbor Village, Bonaire
Kralendijk, Caribbean Netherlands
Get ready to harness the power of water to soothe your soul. You’ll wash away feelings of heaviness, and reconnect with your joy and light to enter the holiday season and new year relaxed, refreshed and alive.
The Beachfront Bliss Retreat is all about fun and reconnecting with yourself and nature. For four tranquil days, you’ll focus on yourself during powerful seaside yoga and meditation classes, snorkeling and diving excursions, and free time to walk on the beach, swim or simply lay out a towel and relax. The proximity to the water induces what scientists call the Blue Mind, a mildly meditative state characterized by calmness, peacefulness, unity, and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction with life. Within this soul-soothing environment, you’ll reconnect to the real you and be empowered and uplifted by fellow retreat-goers on a similar journey.
With 14 years of yoga teaching experience, Dina Pappalardo, brings a playfulness to the practice whether she’s teaching through her virtual studio or at retreats around the globe. As a beach lover, Dina believes the marriage of yoga with the soothing effects of the ocean helps her students relax, contemplate, and find a joyful transformation.
This retreat is for you if:
- You’re feeling tired, overworked and burned out
- You struggle with stress and anxiety
- You’re looking to start the year on a positive note with a new outlook for 2025
- You’re excited to meet new friends and enjoy the power of connection

DINA PAPPALARDO
Dina took a leap and became a full-time yoga teacher in 2010 after completely burning out in her career in fashion merchandising and public relations. She earned her certification in Vinyasa at Sonic Yoga in NYC and built a thriving business teaching at top studios and in corporate offices. Her passion for travel inspired Dina to curate and lead wellness retreats in exotic locales including Costa Rica, Tulum, Portugal and the Greek Islands.
Always a beach-lover at heart, Dina relocated to South Florida in 2020 and launched her Virtual Studio where she offers live-streaming and on-demand classes. Her mission is to make yoga playful and accessible to everyone. Her classes are fun, creatively-sequenced and alignment-focused.
