Yoga
Enjoy the option of two vinyasa classes each morning: one of our signature power classes and one of our all levels flows right after. Every practice is optional - so you can truly make it your own, whether you want a sweaty challenge or mindful movement.
In the evenings we always offer a slower practice, either a slow flow vinyasa, or a floor based practice like restorative or yin, coupled with sound healing. All classes incorporate incense, curated playlists, essential oils, extra loving adjustments & assists, and lavender eye pillows in savasana for that dreamy out of body post yoga feeling.
Nature
Nature is not just the backdrop of our retreat—it’s an essential part of the experience. Fall is the perfect time to visit the mountains of Vermont, and we’ll spend as much time outdoors as we do in the studio. This immersion in the natural world grounds us, softens us, and reminds us of the rhythms we so easily forget. Just as yoga calls us to union, nature calls us home—to presence, to peace, and to the profound stillness that exists within and all around us.
Community
The profound nature of the experiences shared on our retreats organically foster meaningful, lasting connections. The depth of conversation that naturally unfolds amongst high vibrational, like minded hearts is at the core of our retreats. You’ll meet people ready to go deeper, people ready for more. The word yoga means union, of course the union of the mind and body, but even deeper than that - it is the union of the individual with the universe, which begins with our connection to one another.
The Rooms: Mountain Luxury
The Treehouse
Our most unique and sought-after accommodation, the Treehouse offers a truly magical and private retreat experience. Nestled among the trees and overlooking the surrounding landscape, this space feels like your own secluded sanctuary in nature.
Perfect for one guest or two traveling together, the Treehouse is tucked away from the main house, offering peace, privacy, and incredible views of the Vermont countryside. Warm wood interiors, cozy seating areas, and beautiful natural light create an inviting atmosphere that feels both rustic and comfortable.
The Treehouse also features a small private kitchen and coffee setup, making it easy to enjoy slow mornings surrounded by nature. Whether you're sipping coffee while looking out over the mountains, unwinding after a day of movement and exploration, or simply enjoying the quiet of the forest, this space offers a truly special retreat experience.
With its privacy, charm, and stunning setting, the Treehouse is the most exclusive and memorable room on the property.
This room can be booked as a shared room for two friends or a couple booking together.
Private Room
Private rooms in the historic main house offer a quiet, restful sanctuary during the retreat. Each room is unique, filled with warm natural light, antique details, and cozy furnishings that reflect the timeless charm of this beautiful Vermont home.
Large windows overlook the surrounding forest and countryside, creating a peaceful space to unwind after a full day of movement, connection, and time outdoors. Persian rugs, vintage furniture, and soft, comfortable bedding create an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and deeply relaxing.
Each private room includes an ensuite bathroom, with showers adorned with fresh eucalyptus to create a calming, spa-like experience.
These rooms are perfect for guests who would like their own private retreat space while still enjoying the warmth and connection of the shared home. They can be reserved for one person, a couple, or two friends comfortable sharing a bed. When booked by two guests, the room may be reserved individually at the shared room rate.
Shared Room
Shared rooms in the main house are warm, inviting spaces designed for comfort and connection. These rooms feature two beds and are perfect for guests who enjoy the communal spirit of retreat life.
Like the rest of the home, each room has its own character, with beautiful natural light, vintage touches, and cozy details that reflect the charm of this historic Vermont farmhouse. Soft bedding, antique rugs, and simple furnishings create a restful space to recharge between practices and time in nature.
Bathrooms are shared within the house and include fresh eucalyptus hanging in the showers, adding a calming, spa-like element to your daily routine.
Shared rooms are a wonderful option for friends attending together or for guests who enjoy meeting someone new during the retreat.

ABSOLUTELY. Wave retreats are the perfect place for solo travelers. You’ll meet and connect with a group of like minded people, and find lasting friendships along the way. We’ll make a WhatsApp group before the trip, where we’ll all introduce ourselves, connect with roommates if booking shared rooms, and potentially plan to travel together if you’d like!
-
Totally! We love having couples on our retreats. We’d love to have your partner join any yoga classes they want to, but they can also just hang out, join for meals and excursions, and make the trip their own!
Couples can book individually at the shared room price, and have a private room for the two of them.

If you’re thinking about extending your trip, there are plenty of beautiful ways to explore more of Vermont before or after the retreat. Our retreat venue is only available for the dates of the retreat, but we are happy to recommend nearly Airbnbs and hotels.
-
At this retreat venue alcohol is strictly prohibited.
Quiet hours begin at 10:00 PM, and we ask that noise be kept low—especially in shared rooms and common areas—so that everyone can rest and recharge. Let’s co-create a grounded, joyful, and respectful space for all.
