Reviews

Felicia is an incredible retreat host and yoga teacher. I met her in Malta and she organized a fantastic retreat. I stayed in a beautiful accommodation with incredible views of the harbour. Each day was carefully planned out yet very flexible based on how I was feeling.

I ate incredible food, saw all of the majestic sites that Malta has to offer, enjoyed stunning beaches, and learned an incredible new form of yoga!

Felicia pushed me to new heights, and encouraged me to deepen my practice, appreciate my body, and give me the courage to help her teach a class near the end of the retreat.

This was a very special connection that Felicia and I shared, and I'm forever grateful for all of the carefully curated experiences that she designed, along with a newfound love of Buddhi Yoga.

I have been to multiple yoga retreats and nothing came close to this experience. Join her on her retreat. Not only will you have the best retreat experience ever, but it will positively impact your life. Thank you so much Felicia!

    Felicia

    Core Subject: Yoga Instructor

    My name is Felicia and I am an American originally from New Jersey. I have extensive experience traveling and planning trips, as well as hosting / touring others in places that I know and love. * I have been practicing Buddhi Yoga since 2012, under the founder of the discipline, as well as her students. I have been certified since 2015, and since then have taught all over the world, including Hawaii and other parts of the USA, Singapore, China, Romania, Germany, Cyprus, and Malta.

Location

St. Paul's Bay is located in the northwest of Malta. It is close to many white sand beaches and close to tourist areas of Bugibba.

The Maltese archipelago consists of three islands: Malta, Comino, & Gozo. The islands have a fascinating history, with many different ruling powers conquering the island chain over the course of time.

The cities are still in the olden style, with cobblestone streets and winding alleys, and the beaches amaze with the natural beauty of the Mediterranean. 

Buddhi yoga is a high energy, invigorating yoga practice that blends vinyasa and kundalini yoga, cardio, powerful plyometrics, ab sequences, awesome music, tribal dance, and a whole lotta buddhi-shaking!

This practice will kick your ass-ana and push you to challenge what your body is capable of, but it will also make you laugh, love, and connect to your strength, sexuality, and sacral chakra.

This practice is meant to challenge and empower, to push through boundaries and reemerge more confident, vibrant, and aligned.

Finally, you will be exploring the island of Malta (Felicia's part-time home, so she is an expert) and learning about the history, culture, food, and people of the islands.

Active Vacations break the tired mold of “retreats.” While travelling to a destination and practicing at beautiful villas is noble, it is limiting in adventure. 

Active Vacations are an opportunity for adventurous travelers to explore a place fully while still achieving their fitness goals.

Our group jumpstarts the day with a Buddhi yoga session and spends the rest of the day exploring the destination in an active way. Whether it be hiking, swimming, or exploring the local sights, we’re sure to keep moving to the rhythm around us. 

Best of both worlds? Our Active Vacation allows for a vacation experience stimulating to the body and mind. Let’s increase our fitness, while mentally relaxing from the stresses of life.
