Welcome to the GetAway Life.If you're considering your first retreat with Getaway Yogis—welcome. You're in the right place. Whether you’re craving rest, craving clarity, or just ready to unplug from the hustle of daily life, our retreats are designed to help you reconnect: with your body, your breath, and your community.

Here’s what you can expect from the moment you say “yes” to yourself.

1. A Soulful, Intentional Experience

Getaway Yogis retreats blend the best of yoga, travel, community, and inner work into one powerful, joy-filled experience. These aren’t your average vacations—this is a true GetAway from the noise of everyday life, and a return to what really matters.

2. Your Destination Awaits

From oceanside villas to peaceful forests, sun-drenched deserts to serene mountain sanctuaries—each retreat is thoughtfully chosen for its natural beauty and grounding energy. Every location offers a mix of adventure and stillness, with just enough room to unplug and breathe deeply again.

3. Yoga for Every Body

No experience required. Truly.Whether you’ve never stepped on a mat or you’re a seasoned yogi, you’ll find that every class is offered with inclusivity and intention. Expect a variety of styles like vinyasa, yin, restorative, or even sculpt—plus the freedom to participate as much or as little as you’d like. This is your time.

4. What’s Included

Each retreat includes:

Daily yoga and/or meditation sessions to support your body and spirit
Lodging in shared or private accommodations depending on your preference
Healthy, nourishing meals that accommodate all dietary needs
Excursions or free time to explore or simply rest
Workshops and wellness offerings that may include journaling, breathwork, or other soulful practices

Everything is curated with care—so you can relax, trust the process, and enjoy the journey.

5. The Community Vibe

Don’t know anyone? That’s more than okay.Our retreats are filled with like-hearted humans who quickly become more than strangers. Whether you come solo or with a friend, you’ll leave feeling seen, supported, and surrounded by a community that gets it. Expect group meals, bonfires, belly laughs, and sometimes dance parties under the stars.

6. Meet Your Guides

Darcy brings grounded wisdom and steady strength. Her movement-based classes reconnect you with your breath and help you feel empowered in your body. Melody is all heart and spark—combining soulful yoga with rituals, storytelling, and joy. Her classes and energy invite you to soften, laugh, and come alive.

Together, we create a space that feels like a warm hug and a full-body exhale. You’ll be held, challenged, cheered on, and supported from the moment you arrive.

7. What to Pack (and What Not To)

Comfy yoga clothes
A journal and pen
Layers for cool mornings or evenings
Swimwear and sunscreen
Bug spray (just in case)
An open heart

Leave your worries behind—we’ll handle the rest.

8. Time to Unplug

While most retreat centers have Wi-Fi, we encourage guests to truly disconnect. Put your phone away, take the photo later, and let yourself be present. It’s amazing what happens when you tune into your surroundings instead of a screen.

9. You’ll Leave Changed

Guests often tell us that they leave our retreats feeling more grounded, alive, and connected than they have in years. Whether it's through laughter, stillness, movement, or meaningful conversation—you’ll take home more than memories. You’ll take home a version of yourself you’ve been missing.
