What Our travelers sAy

From those who’ve been

"Being in community with such a wonderful group of humans was incredibly healing for my soul. The tour guide was lovely, the accommodations and meals were top notch, and each excursion was so enjoyable."

— Melissa, Greece 2025
"Just perfectly organized, beautifully balanced — just the right amount of yoga, plenty of time to relax, explore, and connect with an amazing group of people. The food was absolutely to die for."

—Lisa & Bill, Greece 2025 (Already signed up for Spain 2026!)
"This was my second international retreat with Shanti and once again it surpassed my expectations. I met many new people, challenged myself, and shared great conversations and laughs daily. I'm looking forward to the next one."

— Amy, Greece 2025 & ???
"We were nervous about going and leaving our kids, but once we got there we were able to enjoy this amazing adventure. The islands were beautiful, rich with history, and spending time with our co-travelers was fantastic. Family meals and gaining new friendships were our favorite parts."

—Tammie & Taggart, Greece 2025
"I am not the youngest or most agile yogi — it didn't matter on this retreat. Every excursion was navigable, yoga positions were easy to modify, and the retreat leaders cared for us and made sure we were safe and comfortable."

— Rachel, Greece 2025
"The yoga and mantra practices helped me start learning to love and cherish myself again. 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."

— Larissa, Portugal 2023

Shanti has been leading international retreats since 2021 — from Mexico's Baja peninsula to the Greek islands to Portugal's Algarve Coast. Each destination leaves a mark on the community that travels together.
