Same as Full Access On-Site, except you will have to arrange accommodation off-site in Carrboro or drive in from home.

Everything about this retreat was absolutely fantastic. The food was beyond anything I could have dreamed of and they were so accommodating to every single persons' dietary needs. All of the yoga classes by Cici and Paloma were just wonderful. The accommodations were perfectly comfortable and clean. It was a fabulous group of kind-hearted and open-minded people. I could not recommend Meraki Yoga trips more! I definitely hope to join these beautiful souls for another retreat in the future, and thank you so much for giving me such a beautiful and inspiring start to the new year! One love!

Amazing start to the year at Dreamsea with the Meraki tribe. The retreat was extremely well organized, Cici&Paloma created a really nice atmosphere, and the house & location were incredible. Learned a lot about yoga and the philosophy behind it and improved my practice in many different ways. Food was delicious. Day trips and workshops were great fun. Got to meet lovely people and felt like at home. I'd go back there in a heartbeat!

The Winter Immersion at the Eco Institute with Meraki Yoga Trips was a wonderful experience. I chose the weekend pass without the overnight option. It was a great compromise between not missing out on the experience and not impacting my family too much by being away for 3 nights. The immersion itself was great. Lauren and Cici put together a very nice schedule that was full, interesting and engaging without being overly packed. There was plenty of downtime to absorb the experience and to get to know the other participants. I feel like I left the weekend with some great new yoga friends. The setting was wonderful, but the group of people participating was amazing. I hope that I can fit the coming spring immersion into my schedule. If not, then definitely next fall.

Excellent yoga retreat! Amazingly wonderful & proficient instructors! Fabulous variety of yoga instruction offered! Peaceful & relaxing accommodations & venue. Excellent, fresh, local, clean, healthy, nutritious, & delicious food provided! :)

This trip was a dream come true! My regret was not extending my trip to be longer. 7 days isn't enough in this jungle paradise! The accommodation was beyond my expectations, even the bed was super comfy! It was a beautiful little property nestled in the jungle which allows you to get close to mother nature and relax! The food was amazing, i have nothing bad to say about the delicious meals that were made with so much love every single morning and evening. We did yoga every morning, which made the rest of the day flow easier and made you feel ready to take on the day ahead! Our yoga instructor Cici was very patient with all of us, as none of us really had practiced in awhile or had any experience with yoga to begin with. She was a great vocalizer and made our practice smooth each morning, her passion for yoga is everything! The surf in Nicaragua was incredible and a great place for beginners. My instructor was so pleasant and also patient with me, by the end of my lessons I was taking on the green waves no problem. All of the little details in this trip were very much appreciated, including the gift bag and the day trip which only enhanced this experience. I can't wait to attend another trip with Meraki in the future. Thanks girls for all of your hardwork, passion, and dedication to doing what you love!
