Your Belizean Home: Balance Point Wellness is a unique and wondrous place. Located in the village of Bullet Tree Falls in Western Belize, BPW boasts a six hundred square foot open air yoga pavilion on a breezy hilltop, guest houses, dining, 14 acres of trails rife with medicinal plants and cool wildlife, and a jungle spa where you can indulge in wonderful, world class body work or authentic Mayan healing rituals, including Maya abdominal massage and spiritual bathing. Envisioned and built by owner Kate Devine, BPW is a labor of love and a place for you to rejuvenate your entire Self.

Your Retreat Leaders: Kate and I (Lauren) have been soul sisters for many years and have a magical history! Already friends through the yoga scene in Belize (I had been leading retreats there since 2006), we, unbeknownst to each other at the time, bought adjoining properties in Bullet Tree in 2008. Recognizing that this was much more than a coincidence, we have been building the dream of offering unique and powerful experiences for yogis and travelers alike. We are thrilled to welcome you into our dream come true!
