A creative yoga retreat that's good for your soul.

09/29/2026

We came home from Joshua Tree with sand in our shoes, paint in our hands and a few new people tucked into our hearts.

Our days in the desert were full. We started each morning with yoga as the light came up over the top of the casita, and we spent some time with Lauren in authentic movement. Brit guided us through our Human Design, we hiked through the National Park and we painted plein air as the sun went down over the park and turned everything orange and violet. One night we relaxed with a sound bath under a dark sky thick with stars.

What we keep coming back to is the connection. We left with new friendships and had meaningful and important conversations. We each arrived carrying our own stories and our own reasons for being there, and for one weekend our paths ran together. Ram Dass said it best: “We’re all just walking each other home.”

In a little over 1 week, Creative Yoga Retreats will be gathering in Joshua tree with a wonderful group of humans for our North Star theme. We will be exploring the National Park, some quirky spots in and around town, doing yoga, connecting with like minds, eating incredible, healthy food provided by our private chef, painting the desert landscape, enjoying this beautiful desert house, a Human Design course and an authentic movement course taught by JT locals! We are excited to see you there!

Both of our retreats sold out this year. To be the first to find out about 2026 retreats, drop a ❤️ below.

At Creative Yoga Retreats, the food is a big part of how we take care of you.

For this year’s Ireland retreat, Rosie Rosie healy joined us as chef for most of the week. We spend a lot of time thinking about who we bring in to hold this experience with us, and Rosie was one of the best choices we made. Every meal was nourishing, thoughtful, unique, handmade and some items came from her own garden and foraging. She took real care with any allergies and preferences. Everyone felt special and cared for.

You could taste the love and joy she put into every plate.

We are already dreaming up what comes next. Want first access when we open new retreats? Drop a ❤️ below.

Our hearts are so full ❤️❤️

This September, a beautiful group of humans will gather beneath the vast desert sky to slow down, create, move, laugh, and reconnect with themselves. There is something about Joshua tree that has a way of quieting the noise and helping you hear your own inner voice again.

Every year, I’m reminded that these retreats become so much more than yoga, art or beautiful places. They become a space where strangers become friends, creativity returns, and people remember parts of themselves they thought they’d lost.

To everyone joining us: Thank you for trusting us with your time, your hearts, and your journey. We can’t wait to share this experience with you.

And to everyone who hoped to come this time, thank you for cheering us on and we would love to have you join us on a future adventure.

Here’s to desert sunsets, star-filled skies, paint covered hands and a little bit of magic.

Day Two in Ireland: complete. And what a day this was.

The Beara Peninsula took our breath away. Rugged, wild, untouched in a way that’s hard to find anymore. A true hidden gem. Our theme today was Dream, and more than once, someone in the group looked around and said, I feel like we’re in a dream.

Our dear friend Shirley, a Cork local, drove down to spend the day with us. She sat in circle with us at the seaside cottage in a little area off in the woods and brought a wisdom and a way of holding space that I don’t think any of us will forget. Together we worked through the limiting beliefs we’ve been carrying, named what those stories have actually cost us, set that weight down, and began moving toward our dreams instead. Powerful doesn’t fully cover it. It moved something in all of us.

We stood inside a stone circle, nearly 3,000 years old and visited a meditation center perched right on the cliffs. We walked the beach. And our chef Rosie, the kitchen fairy, fed us food that was fresh and full of love, every single bite.

We are blessed beyond words. 🤍

Day one in Ireland.

Retreaters landed from all over the states and found their way to this wild edge of the Beara Peninsula, and the whole day was given over to arriving fully. A few acres of private land, beach access right down to the water, a sauna, a pool, room enough to wander or paint or stretch out on a mat and just breathe. We are so lucky to be here.

Our private chef Rosie fed us with food that tasted like it was grown and prepared with love. She grows a good portion of what lands on the table herself and sources local ingredients, and you can feel that care in every bite. Such a gift to have her cooking for us this year.

We enjoyed a yoga session, a painting class and a cacao ceremony, slowing all the way down and setting intentions for the week that’s unfolding in front of us.

One day in, and already so full. More to come and an opportunity to join us in Joshua tree in September!
(2 spots left :) Message us to learn more.

North Star. Joshua Tree. September 10-13.
Four days in a desert hacienda in Yucca Valley, yoga and art and movement and real conversation, guided hikes, a stargazing sound bath, fantastic workshops with locals and the stillness of the desert.

If you live a busy life like we do, sometimes the only way to self care actually happens is putting it on the calendar. Deciding in advance. Protecting the date. And then showing up for yourself when it arrives.

We are so excited to share these days with whoever walks through the door. 2 spots left in the Moroccan loft. Link in comments.

We’ve been taught to look up, out there, far away, for direction. But what if your North Star isn’t something distant? What if it’s a light already inside you, waiting to be heard?

This September, we’re heading to the desert to find out.
