SolShine Mindful Yoga Yoga & Wellness practices on St John USVI John. Our classes have a strong focus on increasing core strength, and flexibility.

{Who are we & what are we best at}

SolShine Stand Up Paddle Yoga classes are traditional Yoga classes taught on the water on floating boards. Your mat is a stand up paddleboard; the ocean is your studio and all the elements have been invited – sun, wind, water. SolShine SUP yoga + fitness is the first venture to combine stand up paddle boarding and fitness on the beautiful island of St. We take the concept of stand-up paddling and incorporate a wide range of fitness, including all levels of yoga, low-impact core strengthening, intervals, and race techniques. Our students will enjoy learning while adapting to the motion of the board, the continuous challenge to balance, and the focus required to ground while afloat. Standing up on a paddleboard gives you a unique perspective of both the water and the horizon. We will focus on using the prana breath for taking in the beauty of St John's natural surroundings. Our classes cater to all levels, from those with no prior yoga or SUP experience to serious practitioners of both.

Did someone say ALASKA FIT CHECK?!

Dropping back onto the ’Gram with some tired eyes and a VERY full heart. 💛

I’ve been a little quiet in this space because I’ve been busy living out one of my life missions - helping provide the BEST wild Alaska salmon to my communities and the world. 🐟✨ One of the many jobs I cherish deeply.

And somewhere between fishing, long days on the water, and soaking up this wild Alaska life, I’ve also been working behind the scenes…

✨ Organizing our 2027 wellness + adventure retreats
✨ Getting excited about our 2027 St. John season + community yoga classes

✨ Reflecting on what an absolutely AMAZING year 2026 has been so far

So go ahead and give this little Alaska fit check some love so I can find my way back into your algorithm. 😂🙌🏽

Because I’M BACK! and the yoga ✨ wellness ✨ adventure posts are about to start dropping HOT.

Love y’all. 💛

Meditation. Yoga. Breakfast. Snorkel. Sail. Dinner. Repeat.

Day 3 was nothing short of magical. During our morning snorkel, we were lucky enough to spot four octopi! 🐙

What an incredible reminder of the beauty that reveals itself when we slow down, become present, and truly open our awareness to the world around us.

One of my favorite parts of every retreat is witnessing the connections that naturally unfold. Each group comes together so effortlessly, as if everyone was meant to find one another. I truly believe we’re all here for a reason.

Today we celebrated the connection we share with nature, with ourselves, and with one another. We spent the day doing all the things we love, alongside new friends who I know will remain in our hearts for years to come.

My heart is so full. 💙⛵️🌴

We are beyond excited to welcome our beautiful group of ladies aboard for our Awaken Your Senses at Sea Retreat in the breathtaking Grenadines!

The catamaran is ready, the islands are calling, and an unforgettable week of sailing, mindful movement, nourishing food, adventure, laughter, and deep connection is about to begin.

The forecast looks incredible! Beautiful sunshine, steady trade winds, and the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea ready to hold us.

The excitement we feel in this moment is beyond words. Our hearts are so full, and we can’t wait to raise the sails, embrace the rhythm of the ocean, and simply being present with one another.

This retreat is about so much more than sailing. It’s about slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, embracing nature, building meaningful friendships, and awakening your senses in one of the most magical places on Earth.

Let the adventure begin! 💙✨

Hello, my loves. 🤍
I wanted to hop on here and share a little update regarding the summer pop-up classes I had promised.
This photo was taken just two days ago at sunset. The sun is actually hiding behind an incredibly thick layer of Saharan dust.
At first glance, it looks like just another overcast evening, but the dust has been so dense that it’s creating a noticeable heaviness in the air. Many of us have been experiencing allergies, irritated eyes, difficulty breathing, headaches, and an overall feeling of fatigue.

For that reason, I’ve decided not to offer any outdoor yoga classes for the remainder of the summer.

Our beautiful studio is open-air, and so much of what we practice revolves around pranayama,our breath, as well as finding deep rest and restoration.

With the air quality being what it is, I don’t feel it’s in anyone’s best interest to gather outdoors and ask our bodies to breathe more deeply. Your health and well-being will always come first.

Of course, this could all change! If we get a good soaking rain and this dry spell finally breaks, you can absolutely expect a delicious restorative yoga pop-up to follow. ✨

Thank you all for an incredible season. My heart is so full of gratitude for each of you. I’ll be sharing another post soon reflecting on this past season and some exciting changes and adventures ahead.
Until then, take good care of yourselves, breathe gently, and I’ll see you on the mat again soon. 🤍

Our retreats are created with love, passion, and intention. Every experience is thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique gifts of each facilitator, creating a week that is both meaningful and unforgettable.

We carefully curate every retreat so that each offering feels authentic to the person sharing it. Whether it’s yoga, mindful movement, sailing, sound baths, meditation, watersports, or sharing the rich history, culture, and traditions of the places we are so fortunate to explore.

We believe the magic of our retreats comes from the people who lead them and the genuine passion they bring to every moment.

Today, we are absolutely delighted to introduce one of the incredible women helping guide and facilitate our Awaken Your Senses at Sea Retreat in The Grenadines.

Meet Cathy Taylor.
Cathy has been a Sports Therapist for over 30 years & a Yoga Teacher for 15 years. She is currently embarking on a 3yr sailing voyage from UK to Caribbean in her 35ft Camper Nicholson sailing boat with her partner.

She has worked in the UK & run retreats abroad for many years with the intention of helping folk release tension & find inner peace in our fast-paced world.

Cathy is passionate about water sports, particularly long-distance open water swimming & holds national titles in competition.

Her most important life role to date is as mum to her 2 boys (24 & 22yrs) who have thankfully inherited her love of the ocean!

Thalassotherapy… the best therapy of all!

We are over the moon to have Cathy joining us! 💖

So PUMPED to be heading back to the Grenadines for another unforgettable week of sailing, swimming, paddle boarding, practicing yoga, eating nourishing food, and soaking in the simple magic of life on the water with a group of people who love these things just as much as we do.

My heart is full. I feel incredibly grateful and honestly so proud that we get to create these meaningful wellness and adventure experiences for others. Watching people slow down, reconnect with themselves, embrace adventure, and build genuine friendships along the way is such a gift.

The countdown has officially begun. Awaken Your Senses at Sea in The Grenadines is less than a month away! Let’s go!!!

Our sailing retreat in the Grenadines is coming up next, and we couldn’t be more excited! We can’t wait to set sail, explore these beautiful islands, and share an unforgettable experience together.

21/06/2026

We are beyond excited to jump aboard our next Awaken Your Senses at Sea Sailing & Wellness Adventure Retreat in the beautiful Grenadines, setting sail on August 1st! We are absolutely over the moon to welcome this incredible group of adventurous souls on board.

This retreat feels especially meaningful because it brings us full circle. In 2019, we hosted our very first sailing retreat in the Grenadines, and now we have the privilege of returning to these magical islands once again.

Together we’ll watch the sun rise and set over the sea, snorkel vibrant reefs, paddle crystal-clear waters, practice yoga on deck, savor fresh local foods, and reconnect with the simple beauty of living in rhythm with the elements.

Salt air, sunshine, movement, adventure, connection, and a whole lot of magic await.

Grenadines, here we come. ⛵️✨🌊☀️
