WELLNESS YOGA PROGRAM

A Wellness Yoga Retreat
in the Philippines

3 or 5 days. For beginners and experienced practitioners
"Yoga, at its heart, is not about the pose. It is about the returning, coming back to the breath, back to the body, back to a quieter version of yourself that the day's noise tends to drown out. Our Wellness Yoga Program gives you the time and space to make that returning a daily practice".
Set at Bahay Kalipay in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, this is a yoga retreat in the Philippines built for both beginners and those with experience on the mat. Offered in 3 or 5-day formats, each day opens with movement and breath, then unfolds gently around you: raw food, breathwork, meditation, a day in nature, and the unhurried rest that is almost impossible to find at home.
A RETREAT WITH ROOTS

Deep in Palawan, since 2007

Bahay Kalipay, the house of joy, opened in 2007, when raw food living was barely a conversation in the Philippines. We became the first raw food and yoga retreat in Asia at the time, founded when the idea was new to almost everyone. Nearly two decades later, thousands of guests from more than forty nationalities have passed through and shaped this place into what it is: a living community of healers, teachers, and seekers, set on an island repeatedly voted one of the best in the world.

That setting is not just a backdrop. Palawan, named among the world's best islands by Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler, gives your retreat its forest trails, clear rivers, and quiet beaches, and your stay puts them within reach.

Who this Yoga Retreat is for

This program meets you exactly where you are. It is a wonderful fit if you are:

  • New to yoga and looking for a gentle, unintimidating place to begin
  • Returning to a practice you have let slip and want to reestablish
  • Carrying stress or burnout and craving a genuine reset
  • Seeking consistency, flexibility, or a calmer relationship with daily life
  • A traveler wanting a wellness retreat in the Philippines that feels real rather than performed
You do not need to be flexible, fit, or experienced. If you can breath, you can begin.

What a day looks like

Each day opens with yoga, grounding and unhurried, never rushed. A daily practice in Palawan has a particular quality that sets the tone for everything that follows.

Mornings belong to yoga, while afternoons soften into breathwork and meditation. A raw food lifestyle and pranic breathing run through the day, and together they energize the body in a way that feels genuinely different from ordinary rest. Each day brings three fresh raw meals and two snacks, beginning with a morning detox drink to set your intention.

If the food itself interests you, you are warmly welcome to join the raw food preparation sessions and carry that skill home, a small part of the retreat that often outlasts the stay itself.

A day given entirely to nature

One day of your retreat belongs to the natural world. You journey to either Talaudyong Beach or Nagtabon Beach for a trek through lush forest, picking wild fruits and herbs along the trail before arriving at a cool, clear river. Lunch comes fresh from the organic farm, and if the waves are kind, you are welcome to try surfing before the day is through. This is the Palawan that draws travelers from around the world, met gently, on foot, rather than from a crowded boat.

Where you will stay

You share accommodation with guests of the same gender, which creates a quiet sense of community. If you arrive with a partner or simply prefer your own space, we are happy to arrange that too.

  • Three raw vegan meals daily
  • Daily Morning Detox drink
  • Green smoothie in the morning and raw food snack in the afternoon
  • Daily yoga classes
  • Breathwork and Meditation
  • Raw food preparation and demonstration

GREEN SEASON OFFER

Our quitest, most personal months

Many people picture Palawan only in the bright, busy summer months. But from June to
November, the island turns green and soft, the air cools, and the crowds thin. For a yoga retreat, this quieter season is a gift. With fewer guests, you receive more space, more personal attention, and a stillness that is harder to find when the island is full. Tropical rain here tends to come warm and brief, and the lush, rain-fresh landscape suits an inward, restful practice beautifully.

If your heart is set on daily island-hopping, the dry months may suit you better. But if you are coming to rest, breathe, and turn inward, the green season may be the most beautiful time of all to do it.
15 to 20% off for stays booked between June and November

Flexible lengths, and a reward for booking early

We offer the Wellness Yoga Program in 3 or 5-day formats, but these are starting points rather than fixed limits. If your schedule or your intentions call for a different length, whether a little shorter or considerably longer, we gladly tailor the number of days to you. Tell us what you are hoping for, and we will shape a stay that fits.
5% off instant or early bird bookings when you reserve directly
