All three. Typically, the yoga studios and private yoga instructors we work with have at least 200 students to ensure adequate enrollment for their trips. If you are an individual, follow the “Students” link from the home page to learn more about specific retreats.
Who teaches the yoga classes during the retreat?
The yoga instructor who is leading the retreat usually teaches all of the classes.
What styles of yoga are the retreats geared towards?
All styles, but many of the yoga venues are covered, open-aired spaces so the temperature depends on the outside climate.

We book the Retreat Leader’s flight. We do not book students’ flights, but we will recommend a specific convenient, affordable flight from the Retreat Leader’s hometown.
How long is the typical retreat?
Most retreats are a week long and run from one Saturday to the next Saturday. Retreats to Europe, the South Pacific, or Asia are usually longer.

Given the current economic climate, are people still signing up for international retreats?
Yes. Many yoga practitioners, both baby boomers and young professionals, feel that a week to escape the stress of their lives and focus their attention on restoring balance to their own minds and bodies is in fact even more essential in times of economic turbulence. This helps people return to their daily routines with a reanimated sense of energy and purpose.
