What is a Lakshmi Rising Yoga Retreat
Step out of your daily routine and into a more intentional rhythm of practice, rest, and connection.
Our yoga retreats are designed to support you in slowing down and reconnecting—without pressure, expectation, or performance. Through daily yoga and meditation, plant-based meals, and shared experience, the retreat offers a steady structure while allowing space for your own pace.
Offered alongside our teacher training immersions, retreats provide a more spacious and flexible experience. You’re welcome to join practices, lectures, workshops, and excursions as you choose—without the intensive study or requirements of a training.
This is time to reset, to reconnect, and to be supported in a way that feels both grounding and open.
At Lakshmi Rising, luxury is expressed through quality, attention to detail, and the space to fully immerse in your experience.
“Months later, I am still overflowing with gratitude for every moment I spent at Lakshmi Rising. My intention was to connect more deeply with my body, to find new ways to be present, to deepen my practice. I received all of these blessings and more.”

HOW IT WORKS
What to Expect from Your Yoga Retreat
Choose your start date and arrive into a retreat experience designed to meet you where you are.
Our retreats run alongside our teacher training immersions, creating a shared environment of practitioners, students, and retreat guests moving through the experience together.
As a retreat guest, you’ll have access to daily yoga, meditation, group meals, and a range of optional lectures, workshops, and excursions. You’re welcome to participate in as much or as little as you choose—allowing you to move at your own pace and respond to what you need each day.
With the flexibility to stay anywhere from 5 to 14 days at a single rate, you can shape your retreat around your schedule. You don’t need to decide your exact length of stay at the time of booking—there is space to adjust as your plans unfold.
This retreat may be a good fit if you:
- Are joining a friend or partner who is participating in a teacher training
- Have previously completed a YTT and would like to reconnect with the practice in a more relaxed setting
- Are looking for a retreat experience without the structure or requirements of a training
- Enjoy a balance of guided practice and personal time
- Are seeking a more intentional way to travel—one that includes movement, rest, and connection
- Feel the need to step away, reset, and spend time in a supportive environment
Whether you’re here to support someone, revisit your practice, or simply take time away, the retreat offers a steady, flexible structure—designed to support rest, connection, and a renewed sense of balance.
“Truly once in a lifetime experience. I came in with some expectations. Of course, I’m just like anyone else that read the good reviews and still had doubts even after already committed to it. At the end, it turned out to be such a great experience, more than I could imagine in the first place. Liz is truly a great teacher, very knowledgeable but also with great humility. Every moment is so worth it.”

NOURISHMENT AS PRACTICE
Plant-Based Culinary Experience
During your retreat, meals are an integral part of the experience—supporting your energy, your focus, and your overall sense of wellbeing.
Our Gaia Gourmet chefs prepare vibrant, plant-based cuisine using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Rooted in yogic and Ayurvedic principles and inspired by global flavors, each meal is thoughtfully crafted to balance nourishment and enjoyment.
Meals are prepared with a high level of care and attention to detail, offering an elevated plant-based dining experience that reflects both quality and intention.
You’ll receive three daily meals (excluding days off), with a rhythm that complements the flow of the day and supports a steady sense of balance.
We do our best to accommodate dietary needs; however, we cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free or nut-free environment or the availability of substitutions in all cases.
“A truly special (and yummy) part of the Lakshmi Rising trainings are the daily Ayurvedic meals by Gaia Gourmet. Each dish is delicious, gorgeous and prepared with incredible care and knowledge. Everyday I felt nourished and grateful for the beautiful food in front of me. It was seriously a highlight of the trip!”
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About Your Lakshmi Rising Yoga Retreat
What is the structure of the retreat?
This retreat runs alongside our yoga teacher training, creating a shared environment of practice and learning. As a retreat guest, you’re welcome to join any of the scheduled sessions or spend your time resting, exploring, or enjoying the property at your own pace.
What are the other participants like? Will there be other retreat guests?
Our community includes participants from around the world, with a range of ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience. There is typically a mix of yoga teacher trainees and retreat guests. Depending on the week, there may be only a few—or occasionally no other—retreat guests.
Most participants are between their 20s and 60s, and while many identify as women, all are welcome.
Is there anything required of me during the retreat?
The only required element is attendance at the opening ceremony, which provides context for the experience and helps you settle into the environment.
Beyond that, all offerings are optional. You’re welcome to participate as much or as little as you’d like—moving at your own pace and responding to what you need each day.
How is this retreat different from a yoga teacher training?
Unlike a teacher training, the retreat has no required coursework, teaching practice, or assessments. While you’ll have access to many of the same sessions, the structure is flexible—allowing you to engage with the experience in a way that feels supportive rather than intensive.
