We believe in the power of community and collective movement and bring people together through curated travel experiences where adventure, social and wellness rituals make for a balanced, intentional way to spend your hard-earned time off.

Join Montana Mitchell (and assistant Catherine Gignac) for six full days together, where everything we do will be centered around intentionality, vulnerability, and community. The goal? Leave for home with renewed clarity, refocused energy, and new friends.

The Retreat in Panama is an opportunity to unplug, move your body, rest your mind, and reconnect with yourself through The Retreat's signature movement method, Collective Move + Flow, and ample free time to relax, read a book, swim, surf, participate in a group excursions, enjoy the spa, and so much more.

The best part? All activities are optional, so you can curate the retreat that works for you (but, let's be honest, most of our Retreaters want to experience it all!).

About Montana Mitchell: a Dallas native, Pittsburgh-living ball of energy with a fiery passion for breath, movement, and self discovery. My classical dance training is what initially led me to yoga but the mental, emotional and spiritual gain eventually trumped the physical benefits. As yoga shifted from a hobby to a lifestyle, I grew hungry to share the magic of this practice with others. Since 2019 I have become a Yoga Alliance 500 hour E-RYT certified teacher, and I’m proud to say I have made a full time career out of this practice. Hosting retreats truly blends all my favorite things: connection, travel, adventure, movement, delicious food and self-exploration! My intentional and vulnerable offerings will leave you feeling rejuvenated, empowered, and better connected to your body, mind and spirit. When I’m not in the studio or traveling you can find me hanging out with my husband, Matt, and chocolate labs, Levi and Denim! We love to hike, eat and travel!

Sansara is Panama's premier yoga and surf resort and retreat destination located steps from the ocean with a beautiful yoga shala, an oceanside pool, a relaxed boho dining room, a spa with a variety of healing therapies, and plenty of space to lounge and enjoy the Panama sunshine.

Choose the room type that works for you — a private room or select a shared room, perfect for a couple, for friends, or whoever else you may want to stay with.

If you don’t have a buddy traveling with you, don’t worry. This retreat is designed for solo travelers, too! We have solo and shared-quad rooms available.

In Panama, resorts like Sansara have a natural, rustic vibe and aren’t like big-box chain hotels in the United States. The amenities at Sansara are charming and have so much character, we hope you’ll feel right at home.
