Paradise doesn’t have to be a passport away — in fact, it’s just a quick plane ride. If this wonky weather is making you want to trade your snow boots in for sandals and escape, you’re in luck. Yoga teacher Dina Ivas and Jersey City’s own Michelle Berckes of Busy Bee Organics are teaming up to host the ultimate yoga retreat in Puerto Rico. They’ll be hosting a week-long getaway in stunning Rincón, Puerto Rico from March 27th – 31st, 2019. Read on for more info:
