Ebb And Flow: A Private Island Retreat in Panama
March 21-27, 2026
Join Sheila Ewers with special guests Dennis and Kathy Lang in one of the most unspoiled natural environments in the world…
Ebb & Flow is an intimate yoga retreat set on a private island off the coast of Panama, where crystal-clear waters, lush tropical forests, and pristine beaches create the perfect backdrop for deep relaxation and self-discovery.
Over the course of this immersive retreat, you’ll move in harmony with the tides—embracing energizing sunrise yoga sessions, restorative evening practices, guided meditation, and mindful breathwork. Nourish your body with fresh, locally sourced cuisine, unwind in luxurious eco-friendly accommodations, and connect with like-minded souls in a setting designed for pure tranquility.
Whether you seek adventure through paddleboarding and jungle hikes or serenity in quiet moments by the sea, Ebb & Flow offers the space to realign, recharge, and return to yourself. Surrender to the rhythm of the island, and let the natural ebb and flow of life carry you toward balance and bliss.
Our Journey together begins in Panama City where we will explore Old Town, tour the famed Panama Canal, and prepare to unplug from the business of life. Everything is arranged for you! Just book your flight to Panama City, and we will take care of the rest!
