Life-affirming yoga retreats in exceptional places to connect you to yourself, local traditions and nature
Reclaim Yourself offers life-affirming yoga escapes that connect you to Canadian and South American traditions, people, places and wildlife. Practise with best-in-class teachers in a vibrant jungle teeming with resident sloths and monkeys, then enjoy mesmerising orange starfish and the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, sail through icebergs in Argentina, snorkel with penguins and turtles in the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, or encounter bears, whales and cowboys in Canada. Each retreat offers dynamic and restorative yoga to enhance your experience, supported by fabulous food inspired by local traditions.
Queen of Retreats says:
‘These are trips where you can feel truly remote. The first island on the Panama retreat is accessible only by local boat. The off-grid cabins feature compost toilets and cold showers, and the jungle may expose you to spiders, scorpions and snakes, although encounters are unlikely. The second island is more upscale with en-suite bathrooms and hot showers. In the Galapagos you’ll find paradise sandy beaches and endangered wild tortoises which live wild on the island. At both you’ll need to be fit to enjoy water sports and exploration in tropical heat’
