Lotus Roots Rest & Restore Center

4 months ago

The center holds a very special and serene atmosphere, clearly a reflection of its owner Kuawanna. As a fellow practitioner, I felt immediately welcomed into a space that supports presence, depth, and genuine care. The session room itself is calm, grounded, and beautifully held — allowing both client and practitioner to fully settle into the work. It is a place to come to relax, restore, rejuvenate, and heal in the heart of Curaçao. A deeply nourishing experience, and one I feel grateful to have been part of.

I recently visited town and had the pleasure of experiencing Kuawanna's restorative yoga class, and it was unlike any other yoga I’ve ever tried! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was absolutely perfect—candles lit, lights dimmed, and soothing incense filling the air. Kuawanna truly knows how to create an environment that allows you to let go and reset. What makes her class so unique is that she has trained multiple times in India 🇮🇳, bringing a more traditional approach to yoga that focuses on the mind, body, and soul. It’s not just about stretching—it’s a full reset that leaves you feeling balanced and renewed. We worked on breathwork and deep stretching, and she provides yoga mats and blankets for everyone, so you can just show up and relax. Her attentiveness is unmatched; if I struggled with a position, she immediately stepped in with adjustments, using blocks and gentle tweaks to make sure I was supported. As someone with ADHD, it’s usually hard for me to stay still, but Kuawanna knew exactly how to guide me into relaxation. My favorite part was when she used a weighted lavender eye cover during our final meditation. When I tell you I went into deep relaxation—I mean deep! I even started snoring, which was both funny and proof of how much I needed that moment of calm. After class, everyone was glowing from their deep meditative state. Kuawanna even offers tea and nuts afterward to help you ease back into reality before heading home, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for a yoga experience that goes beyond the physical and truly works on your mind, body, and soul, I can’t recommend Kuawanna’s class enough. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss!
