Amanda Parr — Teacher, Healing Arts Practitioner, Soulful Adventure Guide

As a local resident, I have a deep and personal connection to Nevis. Under my fun and reliable guidance you will experience the island through a colorful local lens — feeling more like a visiting friend rather than a tourist. Backed by a lifetime of adventurous travel and experience, I know what makes a place special. My intention is to facilitate a meaningful experience for you — one that goes beyond a mainstream vacation.

With more than 22 years as a teacher of Yoga and practitioner of the healing arts, I curate therapeutic retreats designed specifically around your needs. Our sessions will invite you to slow down and be more present — leaving you feeling refreshed, reconnected, and an enhanced version of who you were when you arrived.

"Amanda is the perfect combination of wise teacher and fun, easy-going friend. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone interested in an authentic dip into island life with a conscious, introspective vibe."

Therapeutic Practice

Step 2: Choose a Private Yoga Offering

All sessions are guided by Amanda — practice solo or share the experience with your retreat companions.

Arrival Relaxation Yoga

Traveling can be a harrowing experience, even when everything goes well. This easeful session encourages you to slow down, reset the nervous system, and fully arrive into vacation mode. A perfect beginning to your therapeutic adventure.

Therapeutic Yin Yoga

A unique approach combining the ancient wisdom of classical Yoga and Taoist philosophy with modern science. In this floor-based practice we sink into therapeutic postures for several minutes, accompanied by mindfulness and conscious breathwork to facilitate powerful restoration to deep tissues and energetic channels.

Soulful Hatha Flow

Guided by traditional Yoga philosophy, mindful movement, and conscious breathwork, this customized session is best suited for those with a moderate level of fitness who desire an active, invigorating practice leading to a balanced state of strength, stability, and meditative relaxation.

MyoYin Fascia Remodeling

A unique fusion of Yin Yoga and Myofascial Release. You will learn evidence-based techniques designed to loosen, hydrate, and remodel the fascia — a three-dimensional network of connective tissue that binds, supports, and permeates every cell of the body.

AcuYin — Acupressure Yoga

A therapeutic combination of Yin Yoga and self-massage focused on the acupressure meridian points of Traditional Chinese Medicine. By holding long, passive postures while applying intentional pressure to key energy points, this practice supports the clearing of stagnation, restores the flow of Qi, and invites deep healing from within.

Sunrise or Sunset Yoga at Lovers Beach

Experience Brahma Muhurta, the sacred stillness before dawn, and greet the sun with an empowering Yoga session at scenic and secluded Lovers Beach. This session combines wellness, meditation, and communion with nature. Not a morning person? Opt for a sunset session instead.

Customize Your Own Private Session

Customize your session based on your personalized goals and needs. Work with Amanda to design a practice that is uniquely yours — whether you are seeking deep restoration, energizing movement, breathwork, meditation, or a blend of all of the above.

Healing Arts

Step 3: Choose a Therapeutic Bodywork Session

Thai Yoga Massage

Traditionally practiced by Buddhist Monk healers, this unique bodywork modality combines ancient traditions derived from Yoga, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Your body will be skillfully moved, stretched, and massaged, dissolving muscular tension and clearing the energetic channels.

Ayurvedic Marma Therapy

Marma points are the vital energy junctions of the body recognized in Ayurvedic medicine. Gentle, intentional touch at these points stimulates the body's innate healing intelligence, supporting balance of the doshas, calming the nervous system, and promoting deep restoration.

Tok Sen

An ancient Northern Thai healing art using a hand-carved wooden mallet and wedge to send vibration deep into the body's tissues and energy channels. The rhythmic tapping releases chronic tension, breaks up energetic blockages, and creates a profound sense of stillness and ease.

Meridian Massage

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this treatment works along the body's energetic meridian pathways to clear stagnation and restore the free flow of Qi. Through targeted acupressure and intentional work along the meridian lines, this session supports the clearing and balancing of the body's energetic system — leaving you feeling lighter, more open, and deeply restored.

Yin Yoga Bodywork

Sink into therapeutic Yin-style postures accompanied by guided breathwork, Thai Massage, and Myofascial Release techniques. The low-load, long-held assisted stretches and therapeutic pressure deliberately facilitate release and rehydration of the fascial system.

Step 4: Choose a Conscious Adventure

Share these adventures with fellow conscious travelers or your own retreat companions, or enjoy a solo journey with your guide.

Mindfulness Rainforest Hike & Volcanic Hot Springs

Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh, this scenic hike invites you to use simple meditation techniques to become more deeply immersed in the present moment. After a moderate trek through the lush rainforest, the journey concludes with a therapeutic dip in the Charlestown Volcanic Hot Springs.

Soulful Island Road Trip

A road trip is not a tour, it is an ADVENTURE! Experience Nevis through a soulful, local lens, discovering the island beyond the usual tourist stops and connecting with its history, culture, and unique island character. We make an entire loop around the island, exploring central Charlestown, including Alexander Hamilton's birthplace, and visiting a historic sugar plantation. Along the way, there's room to explore at your own pace, discover places that pique your interest, and enjoy lunch (non-inclusive) at a local restaurant of your choice.

Paddleboard & Snorkeling Adventure

Embark on a scenic paddle along the Nevis coastline, where lush hills and sparkling waters set the stage for an active yet peaceful adventure. Along the way, pause to explore the magic of the underwater world. The journey concludes with an optional lunch at a charming beach bar.

Yoga-Scuba

A mindful introduction to the underwater world — an introductory shallow water dive lesson accompanied by Yoga, meditation, and breathwork instruction designed to encourage relaxation, mindfulness, and a sense of connection and ease in the water. Those who wish to go deeper may opt to upgrade and explore the vibrant offshore reef on a private dive charter.

Rastafarian Vitality Experience

Experience Rastafarian culture with a nourishing bowl of Ital stew — a traditional plant-based dish slow-cooked in a clay yabba and served in a natural calabash bowl. Paired with a tasting of fresh botanical island juices, this experience provides authentic flavor and a meaningful glimpse into Caribbean Roots culture.

The Destination

Nevis, West Indies

Nevis is the smaller, quieter sister island of St. Kitts — only 36 square miles with a population of 12,000 people. Unlike many popular tourist destinations, Nevis is not over-developed or commercialized. It is simple and rustic, yet still provides upscale amenities, making it a perfect choice for people who like a balance of comfort and down-to-earth vibes.

With no cruise ship port, high rises, traffic lights, or fast food chains, Nevis is the perfect little off-the-beaten-track place to dedicate time to mind-body wellness.

Getting to Nevis

Direct flights are available to St. Kitts International Airport (SKB) from London (11 hrs), Toronto (5 hrs), Atlanta (4 hrs), New York, Charlotte, and Miami (3 hrs). From St. Kitts airport it is a scenic 30-minute taxi ride followed by a refreshing 10-minute boat ride to your accommodation on Nevis. You can also fly directly to Nevis Airport (NEV) from several Caribbean islands.
