Retreat back to nature and deepen your yoga practice. Join Brenda & Argentina’s second annual, transformational end-of-summer yoga retreat.

Taking place in the small town alongside the stunning Caribbean Coast of Santa Marta, Colombia, just a few hours from the historic city of Cartagena.

Take the time to go beyond the yoga studio practice and create a new start for yourself.

Empower your body, restart your mind, and get-away on this new travel journey.  

You’ll practice daily yoga and meditation on an oceanfront yoga studio while taking the time to explore the jungles and sacred lands of Colombia: rivers, waterfalls, beaches, coffee farms, sacred natural pools, and so much more.

Everyone is welcome! Solo travelers, couples, groups, and all levels of yoga experience.

Have you ever wondered if there is more to yoga than physical poses and fast-paced flows?

With studio classes getting shorter, and faster these days, it’s hard to grasp all the details of a full yoga practice. When the goal in each class is to mainly feel good in your body, it doesn’t leave much time to learn why we do certain poses, the importance of breath, meditation, and the overall picture that makes yoga a life-changing practice.

The purpose of this retreat is to explore and learn the teachings of yoga that help transform our physical, mental, and soulful practice beyond the typical one-hour studio class.

You’ll feel refreshed, inspired, and ready to apply these techniques on and off the mat.
