Join us in 2025–2026 for retreats that blend yoga, culture, and self-discovery. Early bird pricing until 9/15!
Dear Friends,
This summer, Yinsa celebrated seven years of teaching, hosting, and traveling together. Over that time, we’ve offered yoga classes, training, and—most importantly—retreats that bring lasting transformation.
We spent this summer looking at the work we do not just as practitioners, but as creatives. We have done so many things over the years, but our retreat to Bali this August confirmed that in-person work will be our focus for the next 18 months. Through our retreat program, we will bring back the online LiveYinsa Collective as a home for all of our retreat guests to connect before, during, and after our in-person experiences.
Our 2025–2026 retreats are rooted in community, learning, and authentic cultural connection. Whether it’s your first retreat or your fifth, you’re invited to join us in this work.
What Makes Yinsa Retreats Different?
- Inclusive & Diverse: People from all walks of life come together in community to share their stories, learn from each other, and build empathy and understanding.
- Curriculum First: Each retreat is designed around a theme, not just a destination; the destination is then woven into the curriculum seamlessly.
- Authentic Culture: We partner with local guides, artisans, and practitioners, and do our best to avoid leaning on Americans abroad.
- Accessible: Early-bird rates, past guest discounts, roommate options, scholarships, and flexible payment plans that can stretch 3 years are available.
- Peace of Mind: All packages now include built-in travel insurance through Faye, so your investment and your health are protected before, during, and sometimes even after your travel.
What's next for Yinsa?
7 more retreats over the next 18 months, 3 courses on the Kajabi platform this winter, and revamping our online AND in-person community.
