THE ROOMS

Who is this retreat good for? Advanced? Newbies? Everyone?

  • This retreat is open to all ‘levels’ and abilities, I love working with beginners! With that said, whether you are a beginner, a fit person or an experienced yogi, you will leave feeling satisfied after each practice!

  • With 10 years experience leading retreats in various locations around the world (Costa Rica, Mexico, Greece, Bali) I have had all kinds of different people join up, there have been several ‘husbands’ who were convinced by their partner to attend, promising them a good experience … one example is a husband (beginner) who is on his 6th year now!

  • The yoga is optional. Although I do strongly encourage those who seem hesitant to attend and to do what feels best or right for them, even if that means laying down the entire session. There will be and never is any judgement or forcing of an agenda on anyone ever. This is ultimately your time away and you do as you choose. The yoga is designed to support and enhance your experience there.

  • If you are a beginner, we can workshop certain challenging postures.

Our retreat includes 3 healthy vegetarian meals per day, water, and a selection of teas and herbs. We can accommodate vegan and gluten-free diets upon request.

yoga

No matter what level you are, the practices will leave you feeling energized, strong, rested and focused. We'll set an open and supportive tone for the week - giving you encouragement and freedom to get what *you* want to get out of the experience. We'll take time to set an introspective intention during practices to help you gain insights and find paths for personal growth. The time away from your normal life provides you space to reflect and connect with yourself, and the retreat community, in ways that you wouldn't at home. Importantly, Robert has been leading retreats like this for a long time. Attendees love them, and him. There is an easy, comfortable, and generally fun-loving camaraderie that develops quickly at retreats led by Robert. No matter who you are, or where you come from, you'll feel welcomed and valued.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What will each day look like while on this retreat?

Travel Insurance Required?

DEFINITELY. We've seen travel insurance needed, and fortunately for the people who needed it, they had it. They were able to get most of their money back from their trip. You never know what can happen during travel... We now require everyone to get it. It isn't very expensive, and it's 100% worth it.

Are payment plans available?

Yes, absolutely. Once you submit your deposit, we can work with you to establish a payment plan that works for you.

Refund Policy

Deposits and retreat payments are non-refundable. When you commit to the retreat, your spot is no longer available to anyone else, and we immediately begin to incur costs to cover your retreat experience on our end. That said, we are also reasonable people, honest and accommodating. We want this to be the beginning, or continuation, of a long term positive relationship with you. We can usually find a way to work things through, but just know that the official policy is that there are no refunds and that any deviation from that is a rare exception.
