Join me in Turkey for the adventure of a lifetime.
I’m taking an intimate all-women group on a yoga retreat to Turkey May 23-30, 2026 — my fifth international retreat since 2022, and one I’m particularly excited about. This journey will take us from the ancient minarets and bustling bazaars of Istanbul to the crystalline waters of Turkey’s legendary Turquoise Coast.
Retreat is always transformative. This one promises to be especially magical.
Turkey sits at the crossroads of East and West, where ancient civilizations left their mark on every cobblestone street and noble ruin. For one glorious week, you’ll reconnect with your mind, body, and soul as we practice yoga overlooking the Aegean Sea, wander through centuries-old mosques, and dive deep into the rich tapestry of Turkish culture alongside my co-lead Courtney, an expert in Islamic Studies and the MENA region.
This is your invitation to step away from your everyday life and immerse yourself completely. To practice yoga as the sun rises over the Bosphorus. To taste baklava dripping with honey in a local cafe. To swim in waters so blue they don’t seem real. To connect with other incredible women who, like you, crave meaning, adventure, and transformation.
The magic of retreat is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Everything falls into place. There’s nowhere else in the world you need to be. And the connections you make—with yourself, with the place, with your fellow retreat-goers—will stay with you long after you return home.

What’s included in your retreat:
• Daily yoga classes and guided meditation sessions designed to deepen your practice and anchor you in the present moment
• Historic tours of Istanbul with a knowledgeable local guide who will bring this ancient city’s stories to life
• Daily culture lectures with my co-lead Courtney, who will help you understand the layered history, faith, and traditions that make Turkey so captivating
• Curated group meals, including a welcome dinner when we first gather and a farewell feast to celebrate our time together, featuring the incredible flavors of Turkish cuisine
• A carefully curated reading list and pre-retreat group calls to help you arrive prepared and excited
• Your internal flight from Istanbul to the Turquoise Coast (we handle the logistics so you can be fully present)
• All private transfers between airports, hotels, and activities—no scrambling for taxis or navigating public transit
Optional add-ons to make your journey even more unforgettable:
• Two nights in Cappadocia—stay in a cave hotel carved into ancient rock formations and watch hot air balloons drift across the sky at sunrise
• Charter a private sailboat to explore secluded islands and hidden coves along the coast
• Tour the ancient ruins of Knidos, where Greek civilization once flourished overlooking the sea
• Gain access to Istanbul’s most iconic sites: the opulent Topkapi Palace, the mysterious underground cisterns, the breathtaking Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque with its cascading domes
This is your moment. Your moment to press pause. To invest in yourself. To say yes to adventure, beauty, connection, and growth. To remember what it feels like to be fully alive and present.
I only have 10 spots, and they’re filling fast. This small group size ensures an intimate, personalized experience where you’re not just another face in the crowd—you’re part of a sisterhood.
