the YO ki GA li trifecta

café

Are you an espresso grounds? Because you are so fine. Our coffee menu is an homage to Rwanda, home to some of the finest coffee beans in the world. Our food menu is baseline all vegetarian, with vegan and gluten-free options. Everything is made from scratch from local, whole ingredients. Due to seasonality, availability, and freshness, it is possible that this may not be the most up to date menu; we'll make you something healthy and incredible regardless. While takeaway is offered, we highly encourage you to sit in one of our outdoor seating options and enjoy the view.

yoga

Each overnight comes with complimentary yoga included in the length of your stay. Into wellness, but not into yoga? We automatically pay it forward. If you do not take at least a one class per day, it will be gifted to someone in the community. Those not staying on the premises are welcome to join classes as well, Monday - Saturday; Sundays remain private for our guests. The variety of available teaching styles is as vast as view from the yoga platform.

b&b

This is more than a stay, it's a wellness experience. The details in the rooms create an atmosphere that will inspire you. Hand-painted murals, hand-crafted full-length mirrors and hand-braided sisal rugs are just a few of the details you’ll notice, but the vibe is what will really resonate. However we are more than our building; the YO ki GA li experience will provide whatever level of social interaction you are looking for: plenty of opportunity to connect, balanced with the intimacy of only seven bookable rooms.

the why behind

I wanted to create a space where people could holiday and be healthy, and because some part of each of us needs to, heal. We’re all healing from something: a lost loved one, a trauma, the need to feel loved (you are).

Traveling and yoga were both a big part of my journey to become whole. The idea of creating a visually appealing space where we can eat healthy delicious foods, and exercise and do other activities that bring us peace, and drink coffee or wine or both, and sit and stare at a beautiful landscape, and be around kind people, and, and, and… well, that appealed to me.

Over the course of 3.5 years of backpacking across 39 countries, sleeping in 256 unique locations, and practicing yoga and drinking coffee on 6 continents, I was fortunate to experience so much culture that shaped what I've created in YO ki GA li; I incorporated qualities that I admired from each place that resonated with me.

And yet that doesn’t mean we don’t still have a lot to learn as we navigate our new space. Thank you for all of the feedback, for being a part of our journey and for letting us weave our story into yours.
