Let the world become your retreat space Your teaching deserves a space as unique as your practice. Somewhere your community can spend more time together, explore new surroundings and experience what you teach beyond their usual weekly class.

Retreat Sailing Re Sailing yoga retreat vs resort retreat: a new setting through the week At a resort, your group wake up in the same place every morning.

One morning you might lead a class on a hillside above the bay, the next on a quiet beach
