Rustic Serenity in Chianti
Nestled in the watercolor backdrop of Tuscany, roll into the richness and serenity of one of Italy’s most unforgettable wine regions – Chianti. Led by Erin Lewis and Michelle Lee, this EPM retreat is based at the Castello del Nero, a 12th Century castle built for Italian nobility and surrounded by 700 acres of Mediterranean gardens and cypress trees.
Beyond the castle’s exquisite comforts, the aristocratic treatment continues into the greater Tuscany region, where you’ll explore the fascinating cities of Florence and Siena, savor in the finest seasonal Italian delicacies, and experience the divine nectar of the world’s best vineyards. Grounded with daily yoga + meditation workshops, this outward immersion is paired with an inner reflection, helping you to build stronger connections with the world around you, better understand the vastness of your self-consciousness, and ultimately, learn to manifest the life you want to be living.
Water your curiosity, cultivate your finer tastes, melt into the sublime rustic paradise, and return from Chianti with a bursting life experience to propel you on your new path.
Magnificent Nature in Patagonia
Journey through the South American landscape, arriving at the end of the world and the treasure within – Patagonia. For seven nights, Yogascapes’ Patagonia Retreat guides you to vast plains, lakes that paint the sky, snow-capped mountains, and wildlife that awakens a childlike fascination. Grounded in the serene habitat of EcoCamp, a fully sustainable accommodation in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park, guests practice daily yoga with Nicole Lindstrom, and expert guides lead them deeper into the ecosystem’s natural beauty.
Descend into Milodón Cave, named for the ancient creatures that once called it home. Kayak across placid waters to the alluring blue glaciers of Grey Lake. Hike through all of the landscape’s diversity to a vista of Patagonia’s towering granite monoliths. Live in harmony with the fauna – guanacos (indigenous llamas), rainbow-tinted birds, wild foxes, and passing pumas.
Around camp, find the freedom for self-exploration in the wilderness, and socialise with fellow travellers over the best Chilean wine and delicacies. Yogascapes’ Patagonia Retreat takes you on the adventure of a lifetime, and eco-conscious hosts ensure not a footprint is left behind.
Evolutionary Fitness in Hudson Valley, Crete, and Zanzibar
Inspired by the natural + healthy daily movements of agrarian villagers, Wildfitness devised a program of playful outdoor challenges – imagine running wild trails, swinging through trees, hurdling over logs, practicing natural combat, and competing in fun group games – to reprogram the body according to its most basic instincts and fundamentals.
Led by an enthusiastic group of trainers with an expert eye for natural technique, this relearning helps to restore mobility in daily movement, reawaken neglected and forgotten muscles, and bring fluidity into a rigid, office-centric life. Held on the premises of the Minnewaska Lodge, the rustic-luxury accommodation for the retreat, these workouts also take you into the deep forests of the Mohonk Preserve and the Shawangunk Mountains.
When it’s time to recover, guests will fuel on meals sourced from the local ecosystem, allowing the body to naturally select its energy sources, and learn breathing and mindfulness practices to diffuse stress and improve overall health. The Wildfitness retreat is an opportunity to rediscover your natural instincts and return to the evolutionary way of life.
Cultivate an athletic, injury-resistant body. Learn the ingredients of optimal nutrition, and savour them in delicious feasts. Rediscover your connection with the present moment and the world around you. Then, use these wild tools to mould a new lifestyle back home, and begin living towards your natural potential.

Rock climb, hike, and mountain bike across Moab’s colossal red rocks, pushing your limits in this powerful terrain. As the hot sun sets, restore yourself with a relaxing evening yoga session, and head back to the river for a gourmet dinner prepared by the on-site chef.
Wind down around the campfire, laughing with new friends and free spirits into the night, and fall asleep thinking about tomorrow’s adventure. The Moab Campout guides you into a desert experience unlike any other.
Coastal Escape in Vallarta
An ancient port for pearl divers and Mexican pirates, a modern destination for artist expats and Hollywood stars. The spirit of both times waft and blend in the ocean breeze, forming Puerto Vallarta. This coastal town grew from a lawless bootlegger’s paradise into a vibrant community along the sleek midriff of BahÃa de Banderas, and LuxeFIT crafted a retreat to show you all the native treasures.
Imagine awakening on a mountainside compound, palm trees below your feet and a glimmering ocean vista from your airy balcony. The day begins fast, with a HIIT/bootcamp style workout, and the pace doesn’t let up. Kayak and surf in the refreshing Pacific waves, rewarding yourself with divine margaritas and tacos on a world class beach. Journey through the rolling hills and wild flora, venturing into the untamed jungle of “Predator” fame.
Immerse in the town of Vallarta – a free-flowing, cultural melting pot just a few minutes from your doorstep – discovering the passionate backdrop of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s forbidden tabloid love.
Before you go, taste the sweltering nightlife of El Malecon while celebrating your experience and making beautiful new memories out on the town. Just be careful, or you may end up as one of the expats who never chose to leave.
