Renew your spirit in Tanzania's great plains. Experience 10 days of healing yoga, meditation, safari, and cultural immersion. This travel and retreat experience will leave you feeling grounded in your body, free in your mind, and light in your soul. Commit to practicing yoga 1-2 times per day, daily meditation and group healing sessions amongst the most beautiful landscape East Africa has to offer. Learn from the Maasai their herbal healing traditions, and join a 3 day safari to the stunning National Parks in Northern Tanzania (Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater). Enjoy meals created from fresh, local and (when possible) organic foods, cultivated from the fertile land of the Kilimanjaro region. We will close out our retreat by taking our personal work "off the mat" to engage mindfully with the community in which we are staying.  

We will honor this land where humanity began through ceremony, song, and dance. We will honor our teachers, our ancestors, and all of those who have come before us. We will travel mindfully and tread lightly on this beautiful soil, seeking to learn with all aspects of ourselves. 

If you are looking to reset, renew, and restore in one of the most beautiful and healing places on Earth, join us for this incredible adventure. This is not necessarily a fitness retreat, it is a sacred journey of healing; healing from heartbreak, trauma, loss, or just healing from the struggles of modern life. This journey is open to all levels, from beginning practitioners through advanced. This journey is open to all souls! Every person, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, body type, religion, is welcome here. May there never be requirements for health and healing to take place. If you are financially unable to commit to this trip, please reach out, as there may be funding available from outside sources. 

*A portion of the proceeds from this trip go to benefit Amani Light , a non profit organization bringing yoga and mindfulness practices to youth in Tanzania, and offering Tanzania yoga retreats to at-risk youth from America. 

10 days in East Africa is a splendid amount of time to spend, however, if you would like to extend your journey to include a few days of personalized healing with an herbalist, more countries or a few more stops, we can help you plan and offer advice. Please let us know if you would like to add more days onto your trip for a visit to Zanzibar, a climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro (both in Tanzania), a visit to other local towns or tribes in Moshi or Arusha, trekking to see the Mountain Gorillas (in Rwanda) or just a few more days at Amini Maasai Lodge. Just let us know and we will help to make it happen. 

The act of healing necessitates our entire self to be present in each moment, noticing the things that arise; the good and the bad. Traveling in East Africa is in itself an incredibly soulful adventure, but adding on the intentional aspect of healing from some of our deep wounds, and working towards transformation can be very difficult at times. The asana of yoga will not prove to be the biggest challenge on this trip. Going on safari is a beautiful experience, but the drives can be long and not incredibly comfortable on unpaved roads, and often in hot weather. Seeing the divine each day in the earth, the animals, ourselves, however, will simply melt this away if you let it. 

Healing also happens when we detach from some of our typical habits. This said, we will encourage very light cell phone use for the duration of your trip. Obviously photography will be a part of the trip, but please be able to refrain from posting pictures (and awaiting your "likes"), engaging in excess online communication, etc. 

A deposit of a percentage of the retreat price is required to hold your reservation and is currently refundable up to 30 days before the retreat (only if COVID policy related). The balance is due and must be received 30 days prior to the first day of the retreat.

*COVID Policy - We understand that there are many moving pieces and changing policies. We will try to be flexible and understanding if COVID restrictions make it necessary to change plans. 

Unfortunately, refunds for participants' travel-related expenses are not possible in either case; it is strongly recommended that you purchase travel insurance!
