10 Day New Year Yoga Retreat in Ecuador

Jan. 8th-18th

Step into the new year with intention, clarity, and adventure.

Join us at Aguadulce for a 10-day immersive yoga retreat designed as a true reset—new year, new landscape, new you. Each day begins and ends with yoga, breathwork, and meditation, grounding you deeply in your body while opening space for reflection, renewal, and growth.

Between practices, we’ll explore the breathtaking beauty of the Andes through daily hikes and cultural excursions. From volcanic trails and nearby villages to 500-year-old haciendas and the historic center of Quito, this retreat blends inner exploration with outer adventure.
