Every retreat is different. Every person's experience is their own. But a few things come up again and again: the food, the friendships, and a feeling of transformation that lasts long after the trip ends.
What Our travelers sAy
From those who’ve been
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.
Past International retreats
Where we’ve been
Our international retreats are thoughtfully designed to balance yoga practice with genuine adventure — you'll never feel like you're stuck on a mat all day, nor will you miss the practice.
Daily yoga & meditation
Instructors lead thoughtful yoga experiences each day — opening and closing the day with practice that grounds you in the present moment wherever you are in the world.
Every Shanti retreat, wherever we go, Includes this.
What to expect
Thoughtfully planned excursions
Every activity and excursion is chosen to complement the practice — culturally immersive, appropriately paced, and designed to be navigable for all fitness levels and ages.
Top-notch accommodations
We stay in beautiful, carefully selected properties that enhance the retreat experience. Past stays have ranged from boutique hotels to eco-luxury resorts — always comfortable, always memorable.
An inclusive group experience
You don't have to be an advanced yogi or experienced traveler. Our retreats welcome people of all levels and backgrounds — including first-time international travelers and those who've never been on a yoga retreat before.
Shred meals & genuine connection
Family-style meals are where the real magic happens. Conversations across the table with people you just met — and somehow already trust — are a hallmark of every Shanti trip.
Something that stays with you
People come back from Shanti international retreats changed — more open, more connected to themselves and others, carrying something they can't quite put into words but know was exactly what they needed.
