Join me for a seven night, eight day yoga and nature retreat in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. This retreat is fully curated with bucket list excursions where you will come face to face with some of the world's most unique wildlife and landscapes. Our home for the week is a sanctuary nestled in lush greenery up in the highlands with their very own giant turtles wandering the property. We are not too far from an iconic beach where sea iguanas lay lazily in the sun. You will be fed delicious locally sourced meals, practice yoga daily and have some free time to either relax or go on your own adventures. This very special and unique retreat is for anyone who loves nature, adventure, yoga and deep connection; the perfect blend of wild adventure and grounding zen. This experience will truly be transformational. 

Space is limited, place your deposit today to reserve your spot.

The Galápagos Islands invites you to shed routine and awaken that fierce, forgotten wonder within your soul. This is your invitation to run wild at the edges of the earth, to witness nature's magnificent beauty and power, and to remember the untamed freedom that lives within your own heartbeat.

Beneath the vibrant, pulsing life of the Galapagos lies a sanctuary of silence. As you step on your mat each day, you will discover the art of returning home to yourself; a space to integrate the days adventures and discover that true peace is not the absence of life's wildness, but the calm, luminous center you hold within, beautifully undisturbed.

Our home for the week will be the perfect place to rest and integrate all the fun and adventure we will be enjoying during the day. Located in the highland region of Santa Cruz Island, this peaceful property sits in twelve acres of forest with access to private trails, coffee plantations, giant turtles and stunning birds. You can expect comfortable beds with soft linens, en-suite bathrooms in each room, traditional home cooked meals made with love, a swimming pool, an enclosed yoga shala, and plenty of terraces to take in the view. The town of Puerto Ayoro is just fifteen minutes away by taxi and Turtuga Bay Beach is just a bit further. This sweet, family run retreat center will make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

The Galapagos is a cluster of volcanic islands off the coast of Ecuador that is home to some of the most unique landscapes and animals in the world. These islands possess a raw, elemental power born from fire and isolated by vast oceans. Expect to see lots of wildlife including a variety of beautiful birds like the blue footed boobies, giant turtles, sea lions, marine iguanas and much much more. There is a profound, almost spiritual magic in a place where many of these animals will look at you not with fear, but with calm and curiosity. You don't just stumble into a place like this, you work for it. Visiting the Galapagos is truly a privilege; it is proof that you have carved out the space, the resources, and the deep intention required to witness one of the planet's final frontiers.

Today, after a long day of travel, you will have a warm welcome from me and the retreat center staff. After you have found your room, unpacked and settled, we will gather for a soothing yoga class to get all the kinks out from the travel day before sitting together and enjoying our first meal. We will also have a welcome circle.

After an early morning class and breakfast, we will embark on our first group excursion. The Highland Tour includes walking through gorgeous nature trails through the Scalesia Cloud Forest where we will visit two giant pit craters "Los Gamelos", walk through underground lava tunnels, and search for tortoises and unique birds in the wild.  We will be back at the retreat center mid afternoon for afternoon yoga. You are welcome to head to town or visit the World Famous Charles Darwin Station in the afternoon as well.

This will be an early and full day excursion of adventure on a boat as we head out to North Seymour Island, which contains the largest colony of the magnificent Frigate birds. During our walk we will also get to see some land iguanas and blue footed boobies doing their mating dance. We will end our day with snorkeling and relaxing on a beautiful sandy beach. We will return in the early evening, where I will guide you through a juicy stretchy yoga class followed by dinner and then bed.

After an early morning class and breakfast, we will head out to Tortuga Bay, the longest and most famous white coral-sand beacon Santa Cruz Island. We will have the option to kayak and see white tip sharks and sea turtles. You will also get to see the famous sea iguanas and of course more blue footed boobies. We will back early enough for youth have some down time or explore on your own. After our evening class, we will enjoy dinner together and reminisce on all the amazing adventures we have had so far.

After back to back days of fun, we will have a free day to make your own plans. You can stay on the island and visit another beach, go to town, get a massage or just chill at the retreat center. The staff can help you book excursions but you need to book quickly as these trips often book a many months in advance. Yoga will be offered morning and evening.

After our day of rest, we will get up bright and early (probably no morning yoga today) to head off on another adventure to Bartolome Island, a spectacular volcanic landscape with breathtaking views. The reef is great for swimming and snorkeling where you can see many reef fish, penguins, rays, and white tipped reef sharks. This will be an all day trip as well se we will be back at the retreat center later in the early evening for a sweet yin class followed by dinner

On our last full day, I wanted to give you the day free to do any last minute anything before you head back home. I will happily offer suggestions and put you in touch with the wonderful staff at the retreat center to help you plan. We will have our final dinner together and a closing circle.

We will have one last morning class and mea together before you head out to your next adventure or back home.
