Bigger Life Adventures Retreats Are Different
“The best thing was a sense of accomplishment by finishing the journey, (and feeling gritty and strong) but it was also the most bittersweet because that meant our time together was coming to an end. And as usual, sleeping by the ocean having just had a delicious meal from Zach — it’s pretty much the top of the world in experiences. 🌍”
— Leslie, 2022 participant
There are countless yoga retreats out there, but none quite like this. Bigger Life Adventures was founded to help people reconnect with themselves and nature through conscious, alcohol-free travel and trauma-informed yoga.
Our retreats are intentionally designed for real people: teachers, artists, travelers, and everyday humans who want more than just a vacation. Whether you join us in Costa Rica, Colorado, California, Thailand, or New Orleans you’ll return home with new tools for balance, joy, and freedom.
Adventure Retreats for All
Our sober travel groups bring together people of all backgrounds, ages, and experience levels. Retreat groups are typically a mix of returning guests and new faces, creating an instant sense of belonging.
We welcome all genders and all yoga abilities. From total beginners to seasoned teachers. Each class includes modifications and options so you can practice at your own pace.
Whether you’re traveling solo or with a friend, you’ll be supported by community every step of the way.
Sustainable, Ethical Travel
How we travel matters. Every Bigger Life Adventures retreat supports local guides, eco-friendly lodging, and community initiatives that protect the environment and honor the cultures we visit.
We prioritize slow, mindful travel that fosters genuine cultural connection instead of extraction. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of place and your role in protecting it.
We believe that conscious travel can create more good than harm when approached with respect, reciprocity, and awareness.

Authentic Yoga & Yogic Living
Yoga isn’t just about the poses, it’s about how you live.
Each retreat includes workshops on yoga philosophy, self-inquiry, and opportunities to practice “off the mat” in community and nature.
We explore yogic concepts like ahimsa (non-violence), santosha (contentment), and svadhyaya (self-study) in ways that are accessible, modern, and real.
Our cleansing yoga retreats encourage self-reflection, compassion, and courage. We are here to remind you that yoga is a way of life, not just an hour on your mat. Learn more about our approach to yoga here.
More Than a Vacation
Typical vacations can leave you needing another break.
A Bigger Life Adventures yoga retreat goes deeper combining inner work with real adventure.
Mornings begin with yoga and breathwork. Days unfold with hikes, surf, culture, hammock time, and other adventures. Evenings close with meditation, journaling, or sound healing under the stars.
It’s not about escaping life. It’s about remembering what makes it beautiful.
