Holistic healing retreats that incorporate yoga can be one of the most rejuvenating and wonderful experiences of your life. Improve both your mind-body connection and your overall emotional well-being on a healing yoga retreat. Because a wellness retreat with a focus on deep healing encompasses so much more than physical health.
Many holistic retreats offer workshops, Reiki healing sessions, and group activities to achieve emotional healing.
A spiritual retreat will focus on spiritual growth and healing. Each retreat center has a different approach, with some offering energy healing through ayahuasca and others relying on meditation and introspection for the most spiritual growth.
Detox retreats will focus more on physical healing, relying on natural healing techniques. This type of healing process utilizes the healing power of plants, herbs and tinctures.
Others still may offer quick weekend retreats where you can access life coaching, daytime workshops, and activities to promote overall health and well-being.
Whatever the case may be, life happens. And sometimes you need a little time to get your mind clear, your body strong, and your spirit back.
Join a group of like-minded people, with whom you will likely make lifelong friends. Go experience your healing journey. You deserve it.

Our emotions play a major role in our daily lives. They impact the way that we think, speak, eat, and sleep. Emotions can be as powerfully damaging as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Veterans to as trivial as going too long between meals.
But we get it. We've all been there. Wacky emotions can get in the way of everyday life. Here are 4 ways that emotional healing retreats can help you:
1. You have a chronic disease, cancer, or sickness that has been troubling you for a long stretch of the journey. You've tried western medicine but you'd like to be able to support your body naturally, too. A private retreat program with different kinds of support may be helpful for you during your healing process. Healing meals, professional psychological support, and natural medicine are all often included in such retreats to help complement whatever regime you are currently on.
2. You have recently had a rough experience of divorce, breakup, or a death in the family and want an absolute sanctuary to heal the wounds. While grief can do some major damage that runs pretty deep in the soul, many people experience incredible personal transformation soon after. A private retreat that emphasizes holistic healing can be the impetus to change that you need.
3. You have unresolved emotional traumas from your past that you’d like to finally let go of and integrate. How do you know if you have unresolved trauma? They usually come out in the form of various stress disorders. If you want to finally heal your wounds and calm your stress and anxiety, then a healing retreat program may be for you.
4. Maybe you simply want to live a healthier, more alive, and harmonious life. You want more energy and spark in your everyday life. An emotional healing retreat can help you get back to yourself so that you can move through each day with a little more pep in your step.
Whatever your reason, a healing yoga retreat is a wonderful opportunity to invest in yourself and your own wellbeing.
Healing retreats can offer various programs:
These retreats can be beneficial for people with and without body health issues.
Because we can all use a bit of healing in life :)

ABOUT THE RETREAT
We start and finish our days with an enriching yoga practice on the sunny deck of our boat.
The morning classes are hatha yoga classes, with a focus on proper alignment and always taught with a specific topic in mind (e.g. back bending, breath awareness, balancing, emotions, etc.) Each class will be organized as a small workshop designed to deepen your understanding of different aspects of asana practice.
The classes are suitable both for experienced yogis and for beginners - the former will develop their practice further and discover new ways in which they can approach it, while the latter will have the opportunity to learn the basics and have a kick start on their yogic journey.
In the afternoon/evening classes we have a more gentle restorative practice followed by a guided meditation. Although yoga postures are taught in these classes as well, the focus is on the breath, conscious movement, deep relaxation (yoga Nidra - yogic sleep), and meditation.
It's happening, and we'd love for you to join us on the journey.

Have you always been fascinated by horses, and longed to connect with them on a deeper level but have always been intimidated by their size?
This exceptional escape to the south of France will offer you the chance to make that connection and benefit abundantly from the horses' intuitive and authentic wisdom.
You will spend the whole retreat in the presence of these patient, caring, and generous creatures. You will be able to breathe with them, touch them, talk with them, walk with them and share your most secret thoughts with them.
Horse riding is not an option on this retreat.
A unique and unforgettable experience!
Most retreats are hosted in English, but French or Dutch retreats are also available
Our daily lives are inundated with technology and quick-fix meals. A total detox of the body, mind, and spirit can include a wide range of treatments.
A holistic approach to wellness may include a juice fast, yoga classes, therapy sessions with healers, and maybe even spa treatments. Contact the retreat owner at the wellness center that you are interested to get full details.
Peru and Ecuador are hotspots for Ayahuasca ceremonies. Shamans facilitate the ceremony to ensure the safety and well-being of the guests, while also gently promoting the emotional healing that you will undoubtedly go for.
If you're interested in Ecuador, a tiny country with lush surroundings and unbelievably friendly people, check out Vilcabamba. Vilcabamba is a tiny little village hidden in the Andes Mountains and it is known for its healing properties. In fact, it is nicknamed the Valley of Longevity as it is rumored that the water heals your ailments and the people live to be over 100 years old. You can find safe and reputable Ayahuasca or San Pedro ceremonies *pretty* easily.
Iquitos, Peru is quite similar to Vilcabamba in that it also boasts a vibrant health and wellness scene, including many healing ceremonies with Ayahuasca.
Truthfully, if you are interested in EMDR therapy for traumatic events in your life, then it is best to stay close to home and work with a trust certified EMDR therapist. It is an incredibly powerful tool that is backed by science and should not really be done in a retreat setting.
Plus, EMDR works better when it is done over the course of several sessions. Some people even need a dozen or more sessions before healing the brain in a way that allows optimum health. Beyond the treatments, you will likely have some tumultuous emotions in the days following each treatment.
For these reasons, it is our responsibility to urge you to work with a licensed EMDR therapist that you can easily access from home. This kind of work is long term.
