Little Island Yoga

The beauty of presence lies in its simplicity—being fully engaged in the moment, free from distractions or worries about the past or future. It invites us to experience life as it unfolds, in all its richness, with a heightened awareness of the small, often overlooked details. In this state of awareness, time seems to slow, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Presence nurtures connection, not just with our surroundings, but with ourselves and others, allowing us to appreciate the depth and wonder of simply being here, now.

Sit in quiet reflection, immersed in the serenity of nature and unburdened by the rush of everyday life. Observe how the soft rustle of palm leaves and the gentle lapping of waves create a rhythm that mirrors your breath. With each inhale you deepen this connection with nature and with each exhale, your thoughts dissolve into the warmth of the sun. In these moments of stillness, time slows, and the beauty of simply being unfolds, as endless and peaceful as the horizon in front of you.

This is your invitation to join us in this slice of paradise where time slows down and the world fades into whispers of wind and waves. No rush, no distractions, just the simple bliss of being present to the beauty and perfection of each moment.

A unique opportunity awaits to participate in luxury farm-to-table 3 and five day retreat experiences scheduled to take place in January and early February of 2025 on Little Cayman. Very limited availability.

Dianne is a multi-award winning authored chef and commercial farmer.

She lives with her husband, 8 dogs, 6 cats and 100+ chickens on Fite’s Farm, Little Cayman. Together they breed pedigree Olde English Pocket Beagles, produce farm-fresh free-range eggs and cultivate fresh organic fruits and vegetables in their state-of-the-art solar powered hydroponic greenhouse.

Growing up in Florida, Dianne was inspired by her grandparents who worked hard and lived simply as farmers. Their collective efforts instilled the values of coming together as a family to share the fruits of their efforts in the form of wholesome meals, straight from nature’s pantry. It was a labour of love.

Her grandmother, spent most of her time in the kitchen, and was Dianne’s greatest role-model. She exemplified that a passion for people should be the first ingredient in any recipe; a philosophy Dianne embraced, and the secret ingredient infused in all of her culinary creations.

As a young woman, Dianne’s curiosity for travel and affinity with the ocean was met with an opportunity to live on a sail boat. Between the years of 1988 and 1991 she lived and worked at sea, offering charters to various destinations in the Caribbean Sea and providing her guests with delicious, soul-nourishing food and the freshest catch-of-the day.

In 1991 she returned home to Florida to settle down and take up work as a restaurant chef, but the sea was calling…

In 1998, she heeded the call, and made her debut trip to Little Cayman aboard the Little Cayman Diver II liveaboard, where over the next two years she prepared exquisite feasts for hungry divers. It was during this time that she first heard about Gladys Howard, revered cordon bleu chef, environmentalist and owner of Pirate’s Point Resort, Little Cayman. Dianne knew she had to meet her.

In 2002 she began working alongside Gladys and her team at Pirate’s Point Resort. Together, in 2008, they published “Receipes and Rembrances”, a compilation of their favourite recipes.

Di remained at the heart of legendary Pirate’s Point kitchen for the next 21 years and has become renowned as much for her Southern hospitality as she is for her delectable fare.

Founder of Little Island Yoga, Little Cayman and Naturally Balanced With Claire, Scotland

Claire is a registered and experienced yoga teacher, tai chi instructor and massage therapist. She first came to Little Cayman in 2011 to work as a SCUBA instructor and boat handler.

Prior to living in Cayman, her work in the water sports industry included time spent working as a divemaster/deckhand with the Aggressor fleet, and as a dive instructor/lifeguard and tour guide for Royal Caribbean International, working both on cruise ships and land-based at their private destinations.

In early 2015 she completed her first yoga instructor training in Mexico, and late the same year qualified as a massage therapist in London. The following year, she founded Little Island Yoga, Little Cayman.

Claire has since immersed herself in trainings at different yoga schools, and spent time living in community at a meditation school in southern Mexico.

Claire works to promote the wellbeing of the whole being by promoting physical health, mental hygiene, emotional regulation and spiritual connection. She embraces a much slower pace of life than her younger self and values simplicity.

In 2020 she returned to Scotland in light of the Covid 19 pandemic and began to train in Chen tai chi and qi gong. in 2021 she was awarded instructor status. In 2022, she launched her second business, Naturally Balanced with Claire.

She is currently studying to become a myofascial release practitioner in Edinburgh after discovering first hand how beneficial it can be in treating chronic pain and muscle stiffness. She hopes to have successfully completed this course by November 2024.

Claire now splits her time between Scotland and the Cayman Islands.

Little Island Yoga is closed for the season and is currently going through an evolutionary process. It's the end of an era, but with this transformation comes positive change.

Circumstances beyond my control provided the necessary push for this change to occur, but as I'm learning, sometimes good things have to come to an end to make way for even better things.

If we don't change, we don't grow 🌱

As so often happens, an incredible opportunity serendipitously presented itself almost immediately after I made the conscious decision to let go of the things I couldn't control and started to focus on the things I could.

Seeds of potential for an exciting new beginning have now been planted, and my work in the weeks and months ahead will be to cultivate them by doing the necessary work to take things forward while staying open to leaning from these lessons in how to balance control with acceptance 🐛🦋

Follow for updates and announcements. I promise they'll be exciting! 😉
