Private Retreats
with Alex
Are you looking for an inspiring, experiential yoga retreat for a private group? Want to plan a group retreat but leave the planning to someone else?
​
Sit back, relax, and let us take care of all the research and planning. All you have to do is give us your vision and we'll do the planning for you!
WHAT CAN YOU CUSTOMIZE?

Our group & private retreats can be from any number of participants (typically starting at 4 -6 participants.)
Please note, prices will be higher for less participants.
​
​Things to think about:
-
Do you want yoga included? If so, how many times per day (morning or morning and evening?)
-
What style of yoga would you like to do?
-
Do you want to include meditation classes?
-
Do you like a more active week filled with day trips, site-seeing, tastings? Or would you like more time to relax, stay on-site, enjoy spa treatments? Or a balanced combination of both?
-
Do you want to unwind, renew, and not think too much? Or would you like to stimulate your brain, learn something new?

YOUR TEACHER
MEET YOUR GUIDE, ALEX
I am a 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Life Coach, entrepreneur, podcaster, and Ontario Certified Teacher. Since a very young age, I was drawn to yoga as a way to calm my mind and manage an undiagnosed mood disorder. I began practicing yoga daily at the age of eighteen and completed my first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2014 at Yandara Yoga Institute in Mexico. In 2017, I completed my 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali.
Since then, I have taught yoga internationally, in Canada, where I am from, Kuwait, where I lived for two years in my early twenties, and Abu Dhabi, where I called home for five years. I now live in Bali, Indonesia. I have participated in several additional trainings, including Yoga Workshop Design for Teachers with Rolf Gates, Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga, Yoga for Kids and Trauma Informed Yoga.
