Wander Home

Burnout can happen to anyone. Even those of us who love what we do. Here are some signs to look out for:

🥱 Feeling persistently tired and drained, even after getting rest.
🤒 Experiencing a weakened immune system, leading to frequent colds and other infections.
😔 Constantly feeling like nothing you do is good enough, leading to a lack of confidence.
😟 Feeling disconnected from your surroundings, leading to withdrawal from social interactions.
😏 Delaying tasks or avoiding them altogether, even when they are important.
🍸 Increased reliance on substances to manage stress and burnout.
🧐 Struggling to focus on tasks or experiencing frequent forgetfulness.
🤷 Having trouble making decisions or feeling overwhelmed by choices.

It’s a new month! Check in with some journal prompts to embrace the end of summer and welcome fall. 🍂

✨“What were the highlights of this summer? What lessons did I learn, and how can I carry them into the fall?”
✨“What are my goals and intentions for the fall season? How can I prepare myself mentally, physically, and emotionally for the change in seasons?”
✨ “How have I grown over the summer, and in what areas of my life do I want to continue growing this fall?”

Our Santa Catalina retreat is coming up January 12th, 2025 and there are so many ways to wander home.

✨ Retreat solo
Attending a yoga retreat solo allows for deep personal introspection and growth, free from external distractions. It fosters a stronger connection with oneself, enhancing mindfulness and self-awareness, while also providing the freedom to engage fully in the retreat's activities and community.

✨ Retreat with a friend
Attending a yoga retreat with a friend can enhance the experience through shared support and motivation, making it easier to try new practices and maintain enthusiasm. It also strengthens your bond, providing opportunities to deepen your connection through shared experiences and personal growth.

✨ Retreat with your partner
Attending a yoga retreat your partner can deepen your relationship by fostering mutual growth and understanding through shared practices and experiences. It provides a unique opportunity to connect on a spiritual and emotional level, enhancing communication and intimacy. Additionally, practicing yoga together can strengthen your bond and create lasting memories.

We’re always looking for creatives to join us on our retreat to capture some of the magic.

If you’re interested in attending our Joshua Tree retreat, we’re seeking a creative collaborator to join us from September 12th - 15th. Get in touch with us at [email protected] to find out more!

There’s a note that was meant for you in here. Take it in and pass it along. Someone else might need to hear it too. ✨

“A 'treat' is different from a 'reward,' which must be justified or earned. A treat is a small pleasure or indulgence that we give to ourselves just because we want it. Treats give us greater vitality, which boosts self-control, which helps us maintain our healthy habits.” - Gretchen Rubin

Lucky for you we have just the thing 😉

As travellers, we hold a deep awareness of the impact we have on the planet. Travel is knit into our DNA, and we believe that experiencing new perspectives and immersing ourselves in other cultures have the power to cultivate an even deeper love for the earth.

For us, travel ignites a fierce passion to protect the planet and do our part to ensure healthy and happy lives for generations to come.

Yet we acknowledge that these voyages also have a cost, which is why Wander Home is committed to donating 1% of all sales to and to offsetting our carbon footprint by donating to Carbonfund.org for each participant who travels to attend our retreats.

The earth is our home, and we will continue to commit to protecting this beautiful planet.

Over the years we have noticed how travel can negatively impact the environment. Issues such as air pollution, the use of single-use plastics, and a lack of awareness about the specific challenges faced by the areas we visit contribute to the potential harm we may unknowingly cause.

In our commitment to mitigating these impacts and fostering awareness, we're dedicated to researching and understanding each place better.

Our goal is to provide practical tips to our fellow wanderers, empowering them and us to be conscientious, sustainable, and sensitive travelers.

Check out each individual retreat page for more information on how we work to ensure that we are travelling with care and respect for the places we have the privilege of visiting.

Wandering is better with friends.

Yes, you read that right. While we think it’s great to come on retreat solo, we also know that it’s a bit of a trek to get to Panama and a little company on the journey wouldn’t hurt.

What would happen if there were more spaces like this for us to connect with each other and with nature?

We think things would look pretty different if we built a world that prioritized connection, don’t you? 🌎

Our full moon coffee scrub in Nosara was a retreat highlight. A lot was shed and a lot was shared, including laughter and jokes because finding levity and joy during good times and bad is all a part of the journey home. 🤍

There’s a note that was meant for you in here. Take it in and pass it along. Someone else might need to hear it too. ✨

/ˈwändər/
walk or move in a leisurely, casual, or aimless way

When we wander, there’s no rush.
When we wander, we’re not sure of the destination.
When we wander, we discover things that surprise us.

We’re still thinking about our time in Nosara. We take a new lesson away from every retreat. During our time in Costa Rica, we learned about the power of laughter and fun.

Sometimes healing is deep and dark and sometimes the most profound moments are filled with light and laughter.

We need both. That’s life.

We just got back from our YTT retreat in Nosara and we’re still smiling as we think back on all the growth and breakthrough moments we had the privilege of witnessing.

Our Wander Home trainings break the mold of traditional teacher trainings and encourage you to play, explore, and synthesize everything you’ve experienced to create your own yoga. You will learn to channel dynamic movement, breath work, and philosophy into a thoughtful, supportive, and challenging vinyasa class.

This training only comes around every other year and our 2026 waitlist is already filling up so if taking the next step with your practice has been on your mind … now is the time. 🧘🏽‍♀️
