What Sets Our Retreats Apart
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.
01 / TRavel is always included
Fully planned from start to finish, we take care of everything – from flights, transfers, accommodation and experiences. Having 23 years within the travel industry, you can rest assured the planning will be taken care of.
02 / premium locations
Our retreats take place in inspiring locations selected for their natural beauty, sustainability and sense of calm. We focus on destinations that offer genuine authenticity to ensure a unique and memorable retreat.
03 / conscious travel
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.
Retreats to reconnect, restore, explore
and remember who you are
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.
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.

what to expect on our retreats
Every Awaken Retreat is unique, but you can expect a nurturing rhythm that allows both structure and spaciousness.
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.
-
Gentle yoga and mindful movement. Meditation and breathwork. Reflection and self-discovery workshops. We intuitively blend a selection of practices to compliment the theme and destination of the retreat.
-
Free time to relax, journal, swim or explore. Space to simply be, without pressure or expectation from anyone or anything.
-
Small group gatherings, shared meals and meaningful connections. A safe space to share — or simply listen.
-
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.
-
All of our experiences support a sustainable model where local communities own, manage, or directly benefit from our 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.
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.
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.
who are retreats are for
Awaken retreats is for you if…..
-
You’re looking for a well-rounded experience that blends movement, adventure, and personal growth. Not just daily yoga practices.
-
You enjoy yoga but don’t want a schedule packed only with classes or overly intense sharing circles or spiritual practices.
-
You’re intrigued about self-development in a way that feels grounded, real, and accessible. With journaling workshops and opportunities to meet yourself where you are.
-
You love the idea of exploring new places, cultures, and experiences alongside your practice. Sharing meals, meeting new people and enjoying the destination away from the tourist hotspots.
-
You value connection, but also your own space to reflect and recharge. Being on retreat does come with shared activities and spaces, but we ensure ample time for you to, well, just to you!
-
You’re open to growth, without needing everything to feel “deep” or overly serious. During our retreats we never push for deep discovery if its not wanted. All of our activities, practices and workshops allow everyone to come or go as they please and share what they want, or don’t want to.
Awaken retreats may not be for you if…..
-
If you’re looking for a retreat that is purely yoga-focused with multiple classes a day as the main priority, we may not be the right retreat for you. We offer twice daily yoga, however we also include a focus on adventure, with tailored experiences to explore the local area and community.
-
Our retreats are not centred around things like constant sharing circles or deep ritual work. We offer a variety of movement, philosophy and workshops, but we keep them light.
-
Whilst we focus on fresh local produce and encourage healthy eating and drinking. This retreat is your time away to do the things that you enjoy, within reason. If you fancy a glass of local wine with your meal, go for it.
-
Our retreats blend a mixture of exploration, movement, and group activities. We always have ample free time in each day and include on average 1-2 days for you to make your own plans. Relax, swim, read a book, or head off into the local town.
-
With all of our retreats, including local experiences is something we are proud of. These vary from local cooking classes, Community visits, boat trips, local town tours and more. These are included in the price you pay, however everything is optional. If you fancy skipping something, of course you can.
