Looking for a yoga retreat? I can’t recommend Lauren (Yoga Academy International) enough! I just came back from the Chakra Vinyasa Retreat and Teacher Training in Tulum feeling relaxed, re-energized, and so cared for. The food was incredible, the teachings approachable, and the community conversations so meaningful. Lauren has a true gift for creating experiences that inspire and connect. I would happily book any retreat with her!

There is not enough space to rave about the experience had at this retreat. It was a intimate group which allowed a great connection among the participants. The retreat leads were well versed in the information and experiences they shared. The location was beautiful and convenient to town. The food was outstanding. I returned home refreshed, more knowledgeable, and looking forward to my next experience (which is already booked) with Lauren and Hatti at Yoga Academy International.

This retreat in Morocco gave a new meeting to luxury and learning and relaxation. We had an amazing group of women and our hosts Lauren and Hattie were incredible as was the location. The pool was beautifully maintained. There were so many different and incredibly unique areas for us to practice learn eat, and relax. The compound was private, secure and beautifully decorated, and a bonus was that they have a mission to support women. The meals were absolutely incredible as was the staff who supported us. Absolute best week ever! Special thank you to Lauren and Yoga Academy International for the event.

As always, Lauren, the heart and soul behind Yoga Academy International, pours so much magic and intention into everything she does. Her yoga retreats and teacher trainings are unlike any others I’ve experienced; they’re not just vacations, they’re truly transformative experiences. It’s all the hidden moments, the thoughtful surprises, the personal touches, and the genuine passion that make each gathering so special and unforgettable. The care and attention to detail shine through in every aspect, and the community she attracts is always the very best part, inspiring, supportive, and filled with lifelong friendships that feel like a true gift. I also have to mention her yoga teacher and partner, Hatti, who is one of the most amazing souls on this planet. Knowing that Hatti will be at a retreat means I can trust the experience will be just as spiritual as it is relaxing and exciting. Lauren, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do, for the beautiful mission you live out through your work, and for creating spaces where so many of us can grow, connect, and come home to ourselves. I am endlessly grateful for you both and cannot wait for all the future retreats to come! XOXO

I truly don't have the words to describe my Portugal Yoga Retreat with Lauren and the rest of the incredible women who joined. It transformed me in more ways I can count and I am forever grateful for the bonds created, the countless content, and forever memories. The power of good energy, the practice, and having Lauren inspire us from the inside out is priceless. I'm still processing the experience and how it changed my life forever. Until next time <3 xoxo
