Belize

FEBRUARY 2022, FEBRUARY 2024

We have hosted two of largest retreats on an incredible private island resort just off the coast of Belize. We offered daily meditations, yoga & pilates classes, workshops, and 1:1 coaching in the beautiful yoga studio. The island has catamarans, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and a huge water slide for us to use any time! We also could sign up for different excursions that the island staff took us on like deep sea fishing and snorkeling & exploring the Silk Cayes. Meals were delicious with some of the food coming from the on-site garden along with what they had caught that day out at sea. The island staff were truly some of the nicest and most caring people ever, taking care of our every desire while making us laugh and enjoy island life!

Bali

JULY 2018, APRIL 2019, AUGUST 2023

We have hosted 4 retreats on the magical island of Bali. We stayed in Ubud at a locally owned boutique hotel right in the heart of the city with many restaurants, markets, and spas just steps away! We journeyed to a Sunrise Volcano Hike & Hot Springs, Tirtu Empul Temple (Holy Springs Water Temple), The Bali Swing & Coffee Tasting, and visited an Orphanage with our traditional Balinese Medicine Man, Gede, (we bring them supplies and spend time with the children). We have incredible local guides who were with us almost all day, everyday (they even did yoga with us sometimes!), and they were truly the highlight of our retreat. We ended our Bali retreats with a relaxing beach vacation.

Costa Rica

SEPTEMBER 2021 & MARCH 2023

We have hosted 3 retreats in beautiful Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. The incredible retreat estate is four levels of luxury with an infinity edge pool on the top level and an amazing house staff including the best chef that prepared 2 meals per day. Our meditations & yoga classes were held in an open air yoga shala with a perfect view of the ocean. We adventured to the jungle for zip lining & repelling and went on a guided walk through the national park where we spotted lots of wildlife including sloths, monkeys, & more! Massage therapists came to the house for mid-day massages on the deck that were divine. The estate is in a great location with just a short walk to the beach for surfing or to the town for shopping & restaurants.

Tulum

JULY 2022

Nestled amongst the jungle trees and steps away from the beach, Alaya Tulum is the most enchanting hotel located in the heart of Tulum. With intimate social spaces, treehouse guest rooms and a beautiful treehouse Yoga shala, Alaya was an ideal for our yoga and wellness retreat. We enjoyed daily yoga & meditation classes, local organic fare, excursions to the Cenotes & Tulum Jungle Gym, along with a nighttime Sound Healing Ceremony. It was an amazing retreat!

Portugal

MAY 2025

We hosted our first European retreat in the coastal village of Comporta, Portugal, at the stunning Quinta da Comporta Wellness Resort. Each day included sunrise meditations, yoga and pilates classes, HIIT, and special workshops—plus a magical candlelit breathwork session. Guests enjoyed farm-to-table meals with ingredients harvested right from the resort gardens, and spent a full day exploring Lisbon together on a guided tour before wandering on their own. Between classes, we relaxed at the spa, biked to the beach, or soaked in the pools overlooking the rice fields. The mix of culture, community, and rejuvenation made this retreat unforgettable!

Women's Retreat

SEPTEMBER 2022

We journeyed to the beautiful desert as we nourished mind, body & soul with movement, meditation, art, relaxation, delicious fare, deep connections, dancing & fun for our first-ever women’s retreat! The location - Mequite38 Estate - served as the perfect backdrop for our time together. With unique experiences like a drum circle, flower arranging class, and sacred art of self expression workshop, this retreat was a special experience for all of the amazing women who attended. A deep bond was formed and life-long friendships were made. Our time in the desert together was magical, spiritual, uplifting, and empowering. And now, we rise.

Our trip to Bali was amazing. It had a little bit of everything to nourish our body, mind, and spirit! This tiny island in the middle of nowhere filled us with so much goodness. The people are beautiful. The culture is rich. This was a very well integrated experience. Thank you to our retreat leaders for making this a trip of a lifetime!

Nadine

The Costa Rica retreat … in one word, magical! The healing sessions has transformed our relationship and changed the way we (my husband and I) are communicating with each other. My mind and attitude has shifted being more present and less a “reaction machine”. I am more grateful for my amazing life, the true gift of being able to fully live in my yoga practice, meditation and my teaching. Particular thanks to Nicole Deacon and Niki Fillmore, just for being who they are. I feel privileged to have been able to travel this journey with all who were there.

Chris

Bali.... Where to began... This place is life changing; the culture, people and the energy is nothing I've ever experienced. The healing and yoga experience was even more than one could expect. Going into the trip life was an emotional roller coaster that seemed to never end but what I was able to discover was through the healing/emotional class work with the added practice of yoga I was able to not only able release a lot of negative emotions but heal mentally and physically. The beautiful aspect of this experience was that each workshop and yoga session was set up as a intimate experience with group input as well as one on one training. Going into this experience I didn't know anyone and by the end of the journey not only were friendships made but a emotional family bound was formed. Thank you from the depths of my heart!

Nicole

There truly are not enough words to describe how amazing everything was. From beginning to end, the leadership, knowledge, attention to details were all so well thought out and rolled out seamlessly.

I loved the healing & discussions. There was so much time to connect with everyone on the wonderful excursions. I can see there was so much put into the careful planning of flights and transportation. With our little weather diversion, the swift acting upon your part made for a seamless transition from airport to bus. The staff at Villa Hemosa all on point and dedicated to ensuring the estate was well taken care for and everyone was attended to.

Chef Gabriel and his team made the most incredible meals went day to keep us all happy and fed. The menu planning was perfection and the ability to have groceries brought in was such a great touch.

I enjoyed the daily classes and meditation. Such a great mix of modalities made for a well rounded week of movement and mindfulness.
