“I never expected that I would find such a wonderful balance of adventure, captivation, calmness and graceful progress. The best part of all was how interconnected our group became over such a short period of time.”

Amy, Greece (2025)
“This was my second international retreat with Shanti and once again it surpassed my expectations. The accommodations were lovely, activities were well planned, engaging, and fun, and the food...unforgettable!. I met many new people, challenged myself with new experiences, and shared great conversations and laughs daily. Jessie and Julie planned thoughtful yoga experiences daily that provided space for opening and closing each day. I'm looking forward to the next Shanti retreat!”
Larissa, Portugal (2023)
“The yoga and mantra practices we focused on daily helped me start learning to love and cherish myself again. The excursions we participated in helped me appreciate the wonder and wholeness in being present and not overthinking. Insightful conversations and openness with others during dinners, hikes, bus rides and pool days allowed me to see that we as humans may all be challenged with fatigue, insecurities and lack peace day to day. I went to Portugal unknowing of what I would gain. I gained steadiness, confidence, vulnerability, connectedness and the discipline that I am now more mindful about prioritizing back home.”
Nicole, Baja Mexico (2021)
“This was my first experience on a yoga retreat, and my sense is that the bar has now been set so high, that it will be difficult to surpass it.
Our three experienced and devoted teachers (Jessie, Laura and Joanna) did an incredible job combining yoga philosophy and opportunities for a solitary spiritual experience, with a physical yoga practice and a warm, friendly community. The other retreat participants were each so welcoming that the sense of safety and community was near-immediate. ”
