Our Mission & Intention

Our intention is to deliver enriching experiences around the world where travelers and seekers can explore a variety of cultures, excursions, landscapes, and cuisines while expanding their knowledge and practice of Yoga, mindfulness & self-discovery.

Established in 2017, Lotus Retreats has hosted over 36 retreats with 8 years of retreat hosting experience. Lotus Retreats is one of the most well known and trusted retreat organizers in the industry.

We are a team of passionate and well-traveled teachers and leaders who visit each location prior to the retreat & carefully curate each retreat for our guests that love & trust our retreats!

Through 2020, Lotus Retreats managed to host locally and virtually to maintain our retreat community and continue to host in person retreats post pandemic.

Thank you for being here!

  • Yoga, Meditation & Workshops

    Each retreat offers daily yoga classes, tailored to suit all levels of practitioners. Morning practices are Vinyasa & Hatha style to energize and invigorate the body and in the evening, we soothe and calm with Yin & Restorative practices.

    Traditional asana was created for more easeful and sustainable meditation. Each day, we explore our connection and understanding of the energetic body through meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises)

    Our facilitators also conduct ceremonies and workshops to expand your understanding and comprehension of various medicines, traditions, and philosophies.

  • Nature & Excursions

    A huge component of our retreats comes from our inherent connection with the nature and the culture of each country with daily excursions and activities. Adventure through the mountains, trek through the jungles and take a stroll along the most beautiful beaches around the world. Some activities include river tubing, white water rafting, waterfall trekking, horseback riding, zip-lining, surfing, volcano sliding, hot springs and visits to cultural sites like temples, ruins and indigenous homes. 

  • Indigenous Wisdom & Tradition

    We travel the world in order to pull us out of our routine and comfortable surroundings to see what else exists beyond our lives. There is a sacred practice behind most cultures and traditions that can be learned and explored through visiting indigenous sites, communities, and cultures. 

    We encourage guests to participate in local community and cultural activities throughout each retreat to fully immerse themselves and find the differences and similarities between various cultures. 

    Tribes and leaders will make offerings during our retreat week and share their traditions with our groups out of love. We’re here to respect their land, their culture, and to appreciate the sharing of knowledge and wisdom across cultures.

  • Organic, Local Cuisine

    We believe an essential part to the retreat week is the delicious cuisine offered in each country! Enjoy the most delicious handcrafted meals made with loving hands in the resort kitchens. All foods are locally sourced, organic and offer a unique taste to the culture and foods from each country 

    We encourage family style meals as meal time creates an experience that should be celebrated together! Some meals are offered on your own or with the freedom to select your own restaurant or plate depending on the week.

  • Community & Connection

    Our intention for group travel is to explore, grow, and experience a new destination together. As most guests are traveling within the group solo, it is important that above all, a safe and inclusive community is created for new connections to flourish. We take pride in the collective we build during a retreat week and the network we create long after it is over! We have hosted over 30 retreats, in 10 locations, with over 300 guests! All whom keep in touch and have continued to journey with one another, in & out of the retreat space.

“Lotus Retreats was the most incredible experience I have ever been apart of. The accommodations were beautiful, the food was delicious, and the yoga was the absolute best. The workshops were enlightening and the excursions were a blast! I can’t wait to do it again.”
