As a retreat leader for the past six years, I’ve learned that the collaborative retreat experience moves far beyond a traditional yoga class or team-building exercise. Instead, the focus shifts to altering consciousness by providing unmatched opportunities to experience the world  differently. From connecting with locals, to watching baby sea turtles hatch, to participating in indigenous ceremonies, we aim to leave the best possible positive impact on not just our retreat attendees, but the communities we visit all across the globe.
