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.
What People Are Saying

"Hard to believe just 7 days ago we were strangers. From day one, Julia and Megan used their magic to connect our hearts and souls. We laughed, cried, sang, danced and moved together. We became each other’s fiercest allies and truest cheerleaders. All while tasting delicious food, immersing ourselves in the culture, relishing in the elements and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones. We felt so supported, nurtured and valued. Madeira is the most beautiful place but ultimately it’s the remarkable way these leaders make you feel, and the connections you make while also having your own unique experience. Cannot recommend Wave Yoga Retreats enough

"This trip was nothing short of amazing and magical. To even say life-changing is an understatement. We connected, flowed and laughed with each other and really opened ourselves up to this experience. I’ve made friendships that I’m excited to have for the rest of my life as well as found a new love for Yoga and travel. I’ve always looked for an experience that has left me in a state of bliss after… And I truly have found it with Wave Yoga Retreats :)"

"A truly life changing and blissful experience, connecting with so many beautiful souls in paradise. I've never felt more seen, heard, held, and loved. I'm beyond grateful for this opportunity, and the experiences I had in Nicaragua that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for hosting such an amazing retreat. Forever grateful to Wave Yoga and all of the loving people that made this trip absolutely perfect."

"Incredible experience. The amount of care and planning it takes to make a retreat on the other side of the world feel effortless is a true testament to Julia and Megan. Every detail from the clear communication beforehand to the beautiful accommodations, food, thoughtfully designed schedule, and incredible people was perfectly curated. The week had the right balance of movement, connection, and downtime, leaving me feeling relaxed, refreshed, and more connected to myself and others. Already counting down the days until next year! Cannot recommend enough, just book it."

"This was my fourth time joining Wave for a retreat and as always, I had such a beautiful experience... What really stands out to me, though, is the care and intention that Julia and Megan put into these retreats. You can feel how much heart is behind everything. The space that’s created feels welcoming, supportive, and genuinely special. Megan and Julia both bring such a special energy. There’s a sense of warmth, openness, and thoughtfulness in the way they lead that makes people feel seen and held. I’m always so grateful to be part of these experiences and can’t wait to see what’s next."

"It's taken me a few weeks to write this review.. after feeling that I've been able to fully process the shift I experienced after this incredible retreat. I now have a profound fascination with Hindu philosophy and the energy of Shiva. I also have a harmonium which I really enjoy using at home and can't wait to take to future Kirtan gatherings! But most importantly, I walked away with the realization of how deeply yoga and community can satisfy the soul. I'm so grateful for this awakening and can't wait for the next retreat! Can I also just say the organization, food and location of this retreat were all superb."

"Oh my God. What was the last 6 days? The only answer I can give is sooo much more than a yoga retreat. If I had known a trip to Madeira would fix my soul ache I would have come a long time ago. But as magical as this place is, the scenery is just an added bonus. What you 2 have created is so magical, beautiful and organic. For the first time in so long I felt okay to just be. Which then opened the space for all of the good things, hope and love and joy and kindness and ambition, just to name a few. Everything from the love you have for each other as well as the love you show everyone you meet. Thank you for creating this space and force, and thank you for reconnecting me to Molly."

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!
-
Absolutely! 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.
