Join Bre & Flo as we step into the magic of the Mojave Desert this March at the Breathe and Flow yoga retreat right outside Joshua Tree National Park. Submerge yourself for 5 days of yoga, sound baths, breath work, lectures, workshops, guided hikes, swimming, stargazing, delicious plant-based meals crafted from local chefs, and so much more. 

With dozens of world-renowned hiking trails, gorgeous pink sunrises, a transformative sound bath, and several yoga classes that integrate pranayama and meditation, you'll cultivate love and spaciousness as you tune into nature while tuning into yourself. This is a down-to-earth retreat for those who want the grounding experience of being engulfed by the healing desert and surrounded by ancient rock formations.

Being in the vastness of the desert opens up a portal in our hearts to explore a part of the soul that has been untouched. Connect more deeply with your Self, mother nature, and those around you, while opening yourself up to new possibilities, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually by taking time to ground down in the mystical land of the Mojave Desert.

Practice yoga in a beautiful hardwood floor yoga studio where mats, blankets, straps, and bolsters are all provided. The yoga classes will be a vinyasa (linking movement with the breath), as well as yin/restorative (a gentle practice with longer holds - all poses on the ground). 

The creatively-sequenced classes will incorporate pranayama (breathing), strengthening, stretching, energizing, and meditation. In addition, there will be several workshops (arm balance, handstands, myofascial release) and lectures as well as tarot reading and succulent crafting. You will experience a safe and nurturing space, leaving you feeling relaxed yet energized. 

*** Thinking you're not "advanced" enough to attend yet? Think again. It doesn’t matter how long you have been practicing yoga, ALL our classes and workshops are for all levels: beginners as well as very experienced practitioners and even instructors. We start all of our workshops at the beginner level and work up throughout the session allowing students to step off the train and go back to the basics whenever they'd like. We offer a little bit of everything with nearly 20 years of combined experience of studying human anatomy/nutrition and nearly 1000 hours of yoga teaching & trainings from Thailand, India, Germany, and the US. 

The Cactus Moon Retreat Center is an oasis on 2.5 acres of stunning desert with all the modern amenities. Located only 30 minutes away from Palm Springs airport right outside Joshua Tree National Park, you will feel like you’re on another planet when you arrive. 

The center has been thoughtfully crafted to be warm and welcoming and provide all the modern amenities to make you feel right at home. The peace and energy of the land provide a backdrop for transformation, learning, and evolution. Check out the Venue Photo Album!

Here are a few testimonials from previous retreat attendees:

TESTIMONIAL ONE: “I attended Bre and Flo's recent retreat at Lotus Feed in Sonoma. I have attended multiple retreats and been practicing for more than 13 years. I did not know Bre and Flo, had never attended their class, nor did I know anybody else attending the retreat. Coming back, It is hard to find the right words to express my deep gratitude and thankfulness towards Bre and Flo for their time and for this retreat. The retreat was exceptionally organized, it was heart-opening, challenging, very informative, comprehensive, and truly provided for implementing more yoga into my life, every day, at my home. During the retreat, not only did we practice yoga twice a day, we also learned myofascial release techniques, had a fantastic handstand and arm-balance workshop, created essential oil spray and sages, and we received the nicest welcome bag ever. Every single second was filled with loving kindness and passion.”

TESTIMONIAL TWO: “Bre and Flo are AMAZING and their Invest In Yourself Retreat at The Lotus Farm was more than I could have dreamed of! I have very little yoga experience so I expected to be overwhelmed and frustrated with myself A LOT. The retreat information stated all levels were welcome so I finally just gave in and decided this was going to be my entry into the world of Yoga. The venue and the itinerary made it seem as if there was no way I could be disappointed.

Upon arriving I was blown away by their preparation, their thoughtfulness and their smiles. I felt at home and welcomed right from the start. Truly magical. Their instruction was inspiring. They both made me feel comfortable and accepted. I was not judged for my inability to go through the poses perfectly or even at all. At the same time I saw experienced yogis being challenged too. I loved that! I love that we are all different but we were all getting exactly what we needed.

I absolutely loved the meditation and breath work they added into each practice and the MFR and lifestyle sessions were filled with nothing but takeaways for me. Since the retreat I have made changes to my sleep, my morning routine and I now practice some form of yoga daily. I no longer feel like an outsider and have completely fallen in love with yoga.

The mindfulness and love that Bre and Flo radiate is addicting. I had so much fun and can't wait for the next retreat. Everyone that I was able to spend time with over the weekend absolutely lifted my soul and made me laugh to the point of crying. (thank you) I can't thank Bre and Flo enough for creating this experience. I feel so lucky to have been a part of it. I highly recommend this journey no matter where you are in life or on the mat.”

TESTIMONIAL THREE: “I’ve been practicing yoga for 5+ years, and it’s really great getting some personal attention/help in class. Both of them took the time to personally know my name and show excitement when I attend their classes. They also make themselves very approachable after classes, so one can ask questions/get some advice. The classes focuses a lot on strength and alignment so expect to sweat!

When they announced their first yoga retreat in Sonoma, I was excited that it was accessible in both affordability and location. The retreat was very well organized and packed with activities/delicious food. They provided information before the retreat (packing list, schedule, driving instructions, music etc). All I needed to do was yoga, eat, & meet other yogis (THINK EASY). Since I usually take their power flow class, I got the chance to take yin, vinyasa flow, arm balancing, myofascial release & handstand workshops. Their workshops are also packed with information and approaches to improving your practice.”
