Each of Dana Falsetti’s retreats is truly an immersive experience that consists of much more than just yoga asana. Illuminating conversations about confidence, mindfulness and awareness will inspire in-depth critical thinking in any attendee. As the best yoga retreats do, Dana’s retreats captivate not only the body, but also the mind and soul. Dana aims to teach more than what is commonly perceived as modern yoga and encourages true authenticity by expressing her own. With conversations about philosophy, healing and more, a retreat with Dana Falsetti is often a mentally cleansing experience. Dana’s retreats are often made up of students that might feel unwelcome in other spaces, offering them a safe place to truly be their own, unique selves. Attendees can expect to participate in asana practice, which is very accessible to beginners, as well as optional play time for intermediate practice. Each retreat boasts lots of free time to wander around the grounds of a beautiful location hand-picked by Dana. Her customized retreats have taken place around the world, from London to Thailand to Mexico.

Retreats offer a great opportunity for participants to spend some one-on-one time with Dana, as well as with a close-knit crew with similar interests and struggles. Dana believes that the best yoga retreats should offer an intimate setting for attendees to dive into their yoga practices and perhaps step outside of their comfort zones, while also providing the time to enjoy some well-deserved self-care, play, reflection and exploration. Because she believes in self-empowerment over being empowered by others, her retreats are not highly structured and thus not for those expecting a strict and full schedule. Rather, they are best suited for those who are independent and like to wander. The retreats are very laid back, and an ideal match for anyone seeking an inspiring break from everyday life. Students tend to leave the retreats feeling peaceful, centered and renewed. The retreats — their content, ambiance and inspirations — offer any student plenty of opportunities to forge deeper connections with themselves and the world around them.
