I am beyond excited to return to Kenya and co-create with fabulous fellow yogini, Lucy Dillon from Sumara Travels to bring you an unforgettable week-long bucket-list adventure! Picture yourself in one of the most stunning, luxurious beach villas on the breath-taking coast of Watamu, surrounded by some of the world’s most pristine beaches.
But that’s not all; this incredible journey also includes an exhilarating safari in Kenya, renowned for being one of Africa's best destinations to witness the magnificent Big Five: the African buffalo, lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and even the graceful cheetah.
Your trip of a lifetime begins at the end of February when you touch down at Nairobi airport. From there, you’ll be whisked away to your luxurious beach villa, where spectacular sea views await. You’ll be enchanted by mesmerising sunsets and the gentle sounds of waves lapping against the shore, lulling you into a peaceful slumber.
Each room is beautifully designed—luxurious, light, and airy—ensuring a delightful stay. Picture yourself practising yoga on the shaded terrace overlooking the ocean, followed by a refreshing dip in the infinity pool. This enchanting villa will be our sanctuary for six days and six nights.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with refreshing beverages, allowing you the perfect opportunity to settle in and unwind. Your first evening will introduce you to a rejuvenating yoga class complemented by a tantalising, healthy, nourishing dinner that will delight your taste buds.
The itinerary includes two invigorating yoga sessions each morning and evening, leaving plenty of time to relax, explore, indulge in a soothing massage, and savour delectable culinary experiences. An exciting afternoon excursion will be added into the package one of the afternoons. Afternoon early evening Yoga sessions will sometimes include mini workshops and yoga philosophy to help embody and deepen your understanding of Yoga, and one of the evenings we will have a cacao ceremony.
The Destination
The Retreat will be taking place in one the most stunning properties on the East African coast, situated half-way between 2 beach towns, Malindi & Watamu. Malindi is, part bustling coastal centre, part historic Swahili settlement and part sleepy, laid-back beach resort. It sits approximately halfway down the Kenyan coast.
Another close-by town is Watamu, a small, picturesque town 15 minutes from the villa and home to the best beaches in Kenya. It is known for it's stunning white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life. Watamu offers chill-out beach vibes and a strong focus on wellness and a huge array of water sports and activities.
It has a distinct mix of Swahili, Italian, and English influences due to its popularity among European tourists and expatriates, meaning incredible food and architecture are to be had. There is so much to do in Watamu, whether it's paddle-boarding with dolphins, playing Padel tennis with friends, relaxing at the beach, enjoying a sundowner on a traditional dhow boat, this is a truly special place!

As a certified 200-hour yoga teacher and an experienced travel agent, I love blending mindful movement with cultural exploration, creating truly unique experiences that inspire connection and lasting memories.
Having lived abroad for many years, my passion for travel, adventure, and yoga has led me to Kenya— a country I deeply love for its breathtaking landscapes and rich natural beauty. This retreat, co-curated with Emily, is a reflection of that passion—a space to explore, flow, and connect in one of the most stunning places on earth.
It is my hope to share the magic of Kenya with you, while creating moments of joy, peace, and connection that will stay with you long after the retreat ends.

My name is Emily Gilchrist, and I am a mother, yoga teacher, energy healer, mindfulness coach, fun-loving, creative, and cheeky catalyst for transformation and positive change.
I am devoted to the path of creating sacred, safe, loving and nurturing spaces where people can come, unravel, and be free to show up without apology, exactly as they are. I believe in being authentic and sharing the imperfect, perfect truth of who I am and life, so we can learn to truly accept and embrace the whole of who we all are.
How it began
I became involved in the art of healing over 20 years ago after my own personal journey in Yoga had started. Yoga found me at a crucial turning point in my life back in 2001 while living in India. It was my own trauma and being left with little confidence in myself and who I was that got me on the mat! It didn’t take long before I noticed the profound benefits Yoga had started to have on my overall state of mind and well-being, I soon found myself on the way to the ashram in south India, embarking on my first TTC, where the course of my path would change forever! I left knowing it was my mission to share this medicine wherever my heart led me.

Our Safari Lodge for the day and night
We’ll check out of the Beach Palace and embark on a scenic drive to Hildana Lodge on our penultimate morning. This journey will be like a game drive in itself, in safari jeeps, passing through the stunning landscapes of Tsavo National Park. Prepare yourself for breath-taking wildlife sightings and expansive vistas—this awe-inspiring experience will be one you won't soon forget.
Once we arrive at the lodge, we will indulge in a sunset swim while being welcomed by elephants and exotic birds. If relaxation is on your agenda, a beautiful spa space awaits you to book a rejuvenating treatment.
Yoga will continue that evening and conclude with a final session the following morning—an incredible opportunity to practice amid the breathtaking backdrop of nature and wildlife.
On our final day Lucy and I have arranged transporation for you back from the Safari lodge to Nairobi. For those of you who wish to extend your stay at the lodge and make your way back you are very welcome and can do so by contacting Lucy or the lodge directly.
I’m also excited to share that a percentage of your trip cost will support the Africa Yoga Project, helping fund their remarkable initiatives by donating all our yoga equipment to assist trainees in launching their journeys of spreading the gift of yoga.

We had plenty of time to go and explore or just be on our own. There were guest appearances by other practitioners, too. While it was less than a week I felt a totally different person coming home. Thank you, Emily.”
