Q: Do I need to be an experienced yogi to attend a retreat?
A: All levels are welcome! In 2023, our most beginner-friendly retreats are Mexico, Portugal, and Saint Lucia. At every retreat, I will offer modifications and hands-on adjustments to support your current practice and help you advance. If you’re totally new to yoga, I recommend taking a few classes or watching some YouTube videos beforehand, to get the most out of your retreat experience.
Q: Why do you include excursions and group activities on the itinerary?
A: Excursions and day trips are not standard to most yoga retreats. But it’s a highlight for me. It gives everyone an opportunity to be immersed in the local community, explore the incredible landscape, build deeper connections with one another, and potentially step outside their comfort zone. Having visited these places before, I’d consider myself a pretty credible source of fun. Plus, with gratitude overflowing from our yoga practice, everything just seems 10x more amazing!
Q: What makes a Pa’lante Yoga Retreat different than a regular vacation?
A: Pa’lante retreats are a hybrid of relaxation + adventure + personal transformation. With wellbeing at the foundation of each trip (yoga, exercise, plant-based food, nature), you’ll go home completely refreshed + re-inspired. You’ll discover a new sense of confidence by stepping outside your comfort zone daily: specialty workshops + adventurous excursions + spiritual ceremonies, etc. And the most important piece is the community that we create together. On every retreat, I am humbled by the unique wisdom and life experiences that are shared among the group. Everyone becomes everyone’s teacher.
Q: I’m an introvert. Will a yoga retreat overwhelm me?
A: I empathize with introverts so much! As someone who enjoys being both a social butterfly and lone wolf, I totally see the value in having alone time to recharge. On every retreat, there will be alone time to do your own thing (read a book, explore, nap, etc.), balancing the group dynamic. And you can always excuse yourself from group activities if you need more time. Nothing on the itinerary is mandatory. I’ve also added private room options (for the first year ever) to accommodate those who like a little more personal space. All retreats are great for mild introverts. For extreme introverts, I’d recommend the Sayulita retreat.
Q: Do we have to share the property with other non-retreat guests?
A: No, every amazing property is all ours, with exclusive access to all of the amenities. It’s a sacred space just for Pa’lante yogis. You’ll have a chance to mix and mingle with the locals whenever we’re in town.
Q: Which retreat are you most excited for in 2023?
A: It’s a total trick question (because they’re all fab) but I get this often, so I guess I’ll be honest: Guatemala. Not because it’s “better” than the rest. It’s just SO different. Guatemala is going to kick your ass and shake your soul. When I was in the darkest time in my life, this is the trip I wish existed.
Q: How do I prepare for the retreat?
A: When we get closer to the retreat date, I’ll be sure to send an email to the group with a packing list, transportation information, and retreat specifics. In the meantime, just be sure to have an updated passport and get on your yoga mat!
