I love travel, as much as I love my yoga practice. It’s a great honor and joy for me to create these yoga + travel experiences, alongside our partner The Village Experience, and to share them with you. There are yoga retreats out there where you will spend your week laying on a beach between yoga classes – and that will likely never be a trip you’ll see posted here. I love those experiences, and I hope you take a trip like that at some point. But I get refreshed and re-inspired from experiencing cultures and history. Adventuring in nature that is different than the PNW. Supporting artisans and local businesses. And learning from the work that is done by local organizations who are empowering women and children in their communities.
I experienced socially responsible tourism for the first time as an undergrad student – and fell in love with the idea of traveling with a purpose, in a way that is mindful of how tourism dollars are spent, and the impact we are leaving on the places we visit. I am grateful that my path crossed with The Village Experience in 2015, and I have been working with them to host my international yoga retreats since 2017 (I am also on their Board of Directors).
Whether you’re looking for someone to travel with. Or you haven’t traveled internationally before and you’re wanting someone to support you through the process. Or you just really love practicing with me and our community. I would love to have you join us for one of our upcoming adventures. Reach out at any time with questions. Details on our upcoming trips below:
Guatemala Yoga + Seva Retreat – Open for Registration!
Antigua, Guatemala | November 14-21, 2026
We return to Antigua, Guatemala for our fourth retreat with the Village Experience and Vamos Adelante. A yoga retreat that invites connection through devoted practice, seva (selfless service), and responsible tourism. Staying in the tropical mountains just outside of Antigua, we’ll settle in for a week’s immersion into yoga asana, meditation, pranayama, philosophy and reflection, with time built into each day for relaxation or explorations in and around Antigua. We’ll get to know the community and support local tourism through a walking tour with a local guide, a coffee farm tour with a local cooperative, and a fire ceremony led by a local shaman. The heart of this retreat will be our community day with our longtime community partners, Vamos Adelante, on the slopes of Volcano Fuego supporting their work around food insecurity and access to education. This retreat qualifies as 18 hours of CEUs for yoga teachers.
India Yoga + Seva Retreat – SOLD OUT!
Kolkata, Varanasi, Chennai | February 16 – 27, 2027
A yoga retreat to the birthplace of yoga that integrates practice, seva (selfless service), and responsible tourism. From Kolkata to Varanasi and Thanjavur, we will dive deep into the sensory experience of India as we learn about the culture, the religions and the history that formed the practice of yoga. We begin our time together in Kolkata learning about our longtime partners, Women’s Interlink Foundation (WIF) and their work supporting street kids and rescuing and rehabilitating young victims of human trafficking. We continue to one of India’s most holy cities – Varanasi, on the banks of the Ganges River – where we will witness the Hindu ceremonies of death and mourning. Lastly, we will venture South to the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Mahabalipuram and the Great Living Chola Temples. Truly the trip of a lifetime – with a pre-trip option to see the stunning Taj Mahal or a post-trip option to the island of Sri Lanka.
Egypt Yoga + Cultural Retreat – SOLD OUT!
Cairo, Luxor & Aswan | October 18-28, 2026
Our last Egypt Retreat sold out very quickly, and we heard from many of you that this is a dream trip you were sad to miss. So we are offering another Egypt retreat for October 2026. As a child, I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt – and it’s a fulfillment of a lifelong dream not only to experience these sites, but to experience them alongside our community, seeing them through your fascination. This trip is a step back into history as we visit (and nerd out over) all of the major sites – the Pyramid, the Sphinx, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Luxor, and more! Practice yoga on the banks of the Nile River, and spend your days learning about Ancient Egypt and present day Egyptian culture from Ibrahim, the absolute best guide. Plus, the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) will finally be open, and we’ve been waiting years to step foot inside this dream of a museum. Truly a trip not to be missed.
Yoga + Travel in SE Asia – SOLD OUT
Thailand + Laos Main Trip Dates | January 9-19, 2026
Cambodia Extension | January 19-23, 2026
Our 2026 SE Asia Retreat is SOLD OUT. If you were hoping to join us, please email me at mikkitrow@gmail.com and I’ll add you to the waitlist.
Thailand, Laos and Cambodia! Join me for our 2026 retreat in SE Asia! Our main trip will highlight the temples, natural beauty, culture, food and artisans of Thialand and Laos. From street food in Bangkok, to the temples of the UNESCO World Heritage City of Ayutthaya, to Chiang Mai and the surrounding Hill Tribe area – we’ll blend city adventures and time in nature, with an exploration of history and Buddhism. We’ll then slow down a bit in Luang Prubang, Laos as we wander the city, support local artisans, learn about local agriculture, and visit stunning waterfalls. For those wanting more, we’ll continue onto Cambodia for temple visits around Siem Reap, including Angkor Wat, and opportunities to support local social enterprises. Our retreat includes daily yoga practices led by Mikki that are appropriate for all levels of yogis, and build your practice into your travel experience.
