Both my partner and I each got a massage and did a yoga class. Would recommend to others and would be back if ever on Little Corn again.

My husband and I were on the island for a dive vacation and stayed right down the beach (Little Corn B&B!) from the Karma Shack. We had the pleasure of having two (2) massages each with the owner and we thoroughly enjoyed them! Fabulous deep tissue massage and since coming home we both wished we could get one again!! Looking forward to going back to the island and i will for sure be back at the Karma Shack!!

I really enjoyed the daily yoga sessions at the karma shack on little corn. I also recieved massages, reflexology and a facial treatment. It's a wonderfully peaceful place and any sessions here will ensure you relax completely on your holiday! I recommend booking accommodation near by so you can make the most of it. Lio really makes sure your treatments are personalised and thoroughly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. It was sad to leave!

I visited Little corn last December with the intention of making the trip a diving mini-break. When crazy winds and bad weather hit the island, I was forced to revisit my plans. What would I do for 10 days? The Karma shack quickly became my haven. Usually not a morning person, I became someone who loved getting up in the morning to heard over to the Karma shack for a perfect moment of yoga practice. What a great start to every day! Leontien's passion for yoga, inspiring story and dedication to making every practice so worthwhile contributed to making my spontaneous yoga holiday especially wonderful. Thanks again Leontien. I promise to continue to work on the lizard pose:)

Hey Mona! So lovely to hear you're still working on your lizard pose! Any chance of a picture to show your progress?
Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. It was great to have you here! I always love it when I have students come in 5 days in a row, because it gives me the challenge and opportunity to dig deeper to offer even more every session.
Hope to see you back some day!

I never expected that I would sign up for yoga while on vacation. I am so thankful I did! Leontien is a great yoga teacher. She is intuitive and reassuring. Able to do three days of yoga and it brought my stress level way down. It helped with my scuba diving and overall mental well-being. Leontien is an inspiration and I was privileged to have some great conversations with her. My take away was to be good to myself and give myself room to breathe. I am happily working on her "5 minutes a day for Yoga" suggestion and have found that I am now up to 10 minutes and loving it! Thank you for the inspiration! And the massage was an added pleasure!

Awww, Adria, that makes me so happy to hear that you're building up a daily practice! Good on you! It was lovely to have you here, and I am grateful to have been allowed to inspire you.
Thank you for reviewing, and I hope to see you back on our Little Island and in the Karma Shack in the future! I will be offering individual wellness retreats later this year, totally customised to the client. Something for you, perhaps?

Wow! I was overwhelmed by the peaceful atmosphere at the Karma Shack! I feel so fortunate to have discovered Leontien and her wonderful yoga classes and the deep tissue massage was heavenly. You really know how to make a person feel relaxed and at peace! There is a positive and vibrant vibe within the Karma Shack that I have never experienced before. The Karma Shack was bright and airy with the beautiful sound of the ocean waves and creatures of nature singing their songs. Thank you for making our vacation a most special time and I hope to see you again!

Leontien is a fantastic masseuse and very welcoming spirit. I had a wonderful massage which was both restorative and relaxing - easing a problem area in my lower back. The Karma shack is quite possibly the most serene hut on the island. Definitely go if you get the chance!

Thank you, Emily, for your kind words. The Karma Shack is indeed very serene, and it's my favourite spot, that's for sure!

A morning yoga class at the Karma Shack was just what I needed. Of course the setting was awesome, but thanks to Loentien I still feel motivated to do more yoga - like starting with 5" when my excuse is not enough time...thanks for that! After reading the great reviews, I know I should have tried the other services...

Well, I am glad you at least caught that yoga class! And of course, you could always come back to our little island and spend more time in the Karma Shack. I am thinking of offering individual custom retreats...

I had such a great massage at The Karma Shack. Leontien is truly skilled and the spot is very calm. The best part of the massage was the conversation with Leontien! She was insightful and positive about all things life related. I left with not only relaxed muscles but also a peaceful and happy frame of mind. Seriously --- do not miss out on this experience while on Little Corn Island. Thank you Leontien!!

I have never had a more satisfying experience with yoga than at Karma Shack.
The surroundings are next level - set on a tiny island, surrounded by lush green vegetation, in a cute wooden building with the sound of waves crashing and wind in the trees.
She helps you connect with yourself and go deeper. She provides a genuine and special session, is very experienced and you leave feeling ready to really appreciate the beauty in the world around you.
Thank you Karma Shack!
