early bird gets the worm

Sometimes there is no better way to go direct that to go on retreat with your yoga, and we aim to make that more and more possible every year. With getaways in all price ranges and climates, we offer you many, many ways to recognize that enlightenment is a collective endeavor! When we gather together, free from distraction (and technology!) our accumulated energy is boundless! At The Bhaktishop we LOVE to get away from it all, in big or small community-building, consciousness-raising, life-challenging ways, year after year. Take one trip away with us, you will be transformed!

Two deep yoga and meditation practices daily to enliven and enrich your yoga commitment, plenty of time for hammock-swinging, beach combing, swimming and geeking out on birds and other wildlife, and perhaps best of all, surfing! We are situated on an easy and awesome surf break right out front, making learning or shredding possible all day long!

Oh, and did we mention the amazing food? Cooked by kind, wonderful, shirtless chefs making local vegetarian (and some fresh fish) dishes three times a day… no shopping, no cooking, no dishes!

Monkeys, rustic lodgings, swimming pools and warm, sunny, amazing weather. Mangoes, yoga, tons of free time, plenty of adventures if you are into zip-lining or tree-rappelling. But we promise you one thing—you will be changed by this place. Come with us and see why this retreat has become legend among The Bhaktishop yogis. You won't regret it!

Cost: $1305 shared tent/cabina, $1405 shared house, $1465 solo tent/cabina

Bali!

Teaching together for the first time, Lisa Mae and Flora bring their passions together in order to ignite yours! Approaching their respective teachings from a similar place of joy, intuition, devotion and celebration, Lisa Mae and Flora are excited to join forces to create a powerful and transformational experience for you to explore art and yoga while immersed in Bali’s extraordinary culture and beauty.

Each day will start with meditation and Lisa Mae’s deep, inspired yoga practice to broaden your sense of possibility in heart, in body, and in the deep inner sense of your own universe! This celebratory yoga practice will focus on finding your optimal alignment and spaciousness in asana and connecting deeply to your inherent grace and beauty. After a relaxed lunch break, our afternoons will be spent painting with Flora. In her vibrant and inspired way, Flora will demonstrate many of her personal painting techniques as she guides you to loosen up, let go of expectations, and allow your art to unfold naturally through her fun exploratory process.

Together, Lisa Mae and Flora offer a playful, supported, and forgiving approach to both yoga and art. They are delighted for the opportunity to share this luxurious week with you in Bali. Not to be missed!

Foundations of Yoga: An Entry Level Dive Into the Joy of Yoga with Tasha Danner and Jeannie Songer

Sunday August 19th to Tuesday August 21st
call Breitenbush to register (503) 854-3320

Tasha Jeannie

Join Tasha and Jeannie, two of our most dedicated and beloved Yoga Foundations teachers for our first-ever retreat exploring the joys of yoga, at the beginner level. If you have ever expressed trepidation at coming with us on a yoga retreat, or worried that the level would not be appropriate for you or that you don't quite feel comfortable enough with the practice to consider such a thing, this is the retreat for you!

We will build a very strong foundation, focusing on your alignment and skill-building in the physical practice, with a focus on breathing techniques, exploring the beauty of mantra and meditation, and of course sharing good company. Tasha may even share some of her therapeutics training, and Jeannie may bless you all with some deep restorative practice, too! And in true Bhaktishop retreat style, plenty of time to relax, read, hike, nap, and soak in Breitenbush's healing hot springs. Join us for our first-ever Beginner retreat to explore or renew the foundations of a yoga practice!

Retreat Cancellation Policy

Dearest yogi family,
We regret that we need to have one of these kinds of policies, but alas, it has become necessary. So here goes.

If you are registered and paid for any retreat we will happily issue you a refund of your payment. Here is the scene:

  • If you cancel 1 month or more before the retreat, we will happily give you a 100% refund.
  • If it is less than 1 month from the date of the retreat, we will give you a 100% refund if we are able to fill your spot.
  • If it is less than 1 month from the date of the retreat, and we are not able to fill your spot, we will give you a refund of 75% of the cost of the retreat or deposit you have given.

As you know, many of our retreats fill up and then get a waiting list, so the likelihood that we will fill the space is pretty high, with the exception of stuff we do in other countries. But that might mean that we have to wait until after the retreat happens to find out and get you a refund!
