Retreats to reconnect, restore, explore and remember who you are
Why Choose Awaken Retreats
At Awaken Retreats, we create soulful journeys designed to nourish your body, calm your mind and reconnect you with your true self.
Our retreats are not your typical yoga-only escapes. They are immersive experiences that weave together yoga, adventure, and meaningful self-discovery — creating something far deeper than a holiday.
Designed as a conscious pause from everyday life, each retreat invites you to reconnect with yourself while exploring inspiring destinations and cultures. Alongside your practice, you’ll step into new experiences, embrace moments of growth, and feel the support of a like-minded community around you.
At the heart of Awaken Retreats is intention — not only to nurture your own journey, but to give back. We consciously support local communities, honouring the places that hold us and creating a more meaningful, connected way to travel.
We invite you to leave behind the noise of everyday life. Whether you are seeking rest, renewal, expansion or a deeper sense of purpose, you’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more deeply connected — to yourself, to others, and to the world around you.
With every detail taken care of, all that’s left is for you to arrive, breathe, and embrace the magic of connection, movement, and rest.

Our Values
Awaken Retreats was born from a shared vision:
To create spaces where people feel welcome exactly as they are. Through our love of yoga, but also our passion for adventure and travel.
To support local communities in destination, by building meaningful relationships and supporting them with our in destination experiences. Which in turn, keeps money circulating locally to the people that we work directly with.
To not just explore the world, but to honour it—by prioritising sustainability, supporting local communities, and celebrating local cultures, while moving in a way that nurtures both the earth and the soul.
We believe that healing happens when we slow down, reconnect with nature, and come together in supportive community. Our retreats blend ancient wisdom with modern living — weaving together yoga, meditation, self-enquiry, creativity and meaningful local experiences.
Discover what’s possible
Life is a tapestry of choices, each one opening the door to something new. When we lean into curiosity, creativity, and courage, we move beyond the expected and into the extraordinary. This is where true transformation begins — not just in where you go, but in how you experience the journey.
What to Expect
Every Awaken Retreat is unique, but you can expect a nurturing rhythm that allows both structure and spaciousness.
Daily Practices
Gentle yoga and mindful movement. Meditation and breathwork. Reflection and self-discovery workshops
Time to Rest
Free time to relax, journal, swim or explore Space to simply be, without pressure or expectation
Community
Small group gatherings, shared meals and meaningful connection. A safe space to share — or simply listen
Beautiful Locations
Our retreats take place in carefully chosen destinations that support rest and renewal — from tranquil coastal settings to soulful, nature-rich environments. Most importantly we choose destinations that champion sustainability and support local communities, nature and wildlife.
Authentic, local experiences
All of our experiences support a sustainable model where local communities own, manage, or directly benefit from tourism. Known as community based tourism, it ensures economic, social, and environmental advantages remain local. It offers travellers authentic, immersive experiences—like homestays, guided tours, and workshops—fostering cultural exchange while empowering communities through shared revenue.
Who our retreats are for
Awaken retreats is for you if…
– You want more than just yoga — you’re looking for a well-rounded experience that blends movement, adventure, and personal growth
– You enjoy yoga but don’t want a schedule packed only with classes or overly intense spiritual practices
– You’re curious about self-development in a way that feels grounded, real, and accessible
– You love the idea of exploring new places, cultures, and experiences alongside your practice
– You value connection, but also your own space to reflect and recharge
– You’re open to growth, without needing everything to feel “deep” or overly serious
Our retreats may not be for you if…
– You’re looking for a retreat that is purely yoga-focused with multiple classes a day as the main priority
– You’re expecting a highly spiritual or ceremonial experience centred around things like constant sharing circles or deep ritual work
– You want something heavily focused on detoxing, strict routines, or rigid wellness structures
– You prefer a completely passive holiday without exploration, movement, or engagement
– You’re not open to a mix of experiences beyond the mat
Awaken Retreats are for you if you:
Feel called to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Are navigating change, transition or a new chapter of life. Want to deepen your yoga or spiritual practice. Long for community and meaningful connection. Or simply need time away to breathe and reset.
You are welcome exactly as you are — no experience required, just an open heart.
Our retreat leaders
Awaken Retreats are guided by Yoga Alliance qualified, experienced and compassionate teachers who hold space with warmth, authenticity and care.
Each retreat is co-created by a small team of facilitators who bring together yoga, mindfulness, healing practices and life experience. We believe in walking alongside you, not leading from above.
Our intention is for every guest to feel seen, supported and gently guided on their own journey of awakening.
