Local retreats - Escapte pathway
Retreat into stillness, right where You are.
You don't have to go far to go deep. Our local retreats are designed to give you a genuine pause from daily life — a full day or half day of yoga, meditation, community, and restoration. No travel required. Just show up.
Types of Local retreats
What we offer
Shanti hosts local retreats throughout the year — full days, half days, and seasonal gatherings built around themes that meet the community where it is. New dates are announced as they're confirmed. Here's a sense of what each retreat format looks and feels like.

Full day retreat
A complete reset from morning to afternoon
Our full day retreats run from approximately 9:00am to 4:00pm and are designed to give your nervous system the sustained time it needs to genuinely let go. Each one is built around a seasonal theme — rooting, renewal, restoration — and weaves together yoga, meditation, sound healing, embodied reflection, and meaningful community. Meals and light refreshments are included. You'll arrive carrying the week; you'll leave lighter.
Yoga & meditation — Sound healing — Embodied reflection — Meals included — Community
Half day retreat
A meaningful pause that fits into a full life
Our half day retreats typically run 3–4 hours — a morning or afternoon container that offers genuine restoration without asking for a full day away. These are ideal for those newer to retreats, anyone with a busy schedule, or when the season calls for something lighter. Expect a thoughtful blend of yoga, stillness, connection, and a small take-home gift or experience to carry the retreat spirit back into your day.
Yoga — Stillness & breathwork — Community connection — Take-home gift
Seasonal & Specialty retreats
Themed gatherings that mark the rhythm of the year
Some of our most beloved retreats are built around a specific season, theme, or community need — our annual Holiday retreat (now in its fourth year), women's wellness days, nervous system resets, and more. These are the retreats where guest speakers, special practitioners, and unique experiences come together around a unifying intention. Each one is one-of-a-kind and tends to sell out quickly once announced.

Community in depth
Sharing a full day with other people — meals, conversations, practices — creates a quality of connection that a regular class schedule simply doesn't have room for. Many of our deepest friendships at Shanti started at a retreat.
A full reset
You arrive carrying the weight of your week. You leave lighter. Not because anything changed in your life — but because your relationship to it did. That's the retreat effect, and it's hard to explain until you've felt it.
A single yoga class is powerful. A retreat day is something else entirely — a sustained, held space where the nervous system has enough time to actually let go.
Time to actually unwind
The nervous system needs more than 60 minutes to release deeply held tension. A full retreat day gives your body and mind the sustained space they rarely get — and the difference is palpable.
