  • Not at all! Compass Yoga Retreats are open to all levels. Each class includes options and modifications to support your body and your practice, wherever you are in your journey. From complete beginners to longtime practitioners, there’s space for you here.

  • While everything is optional, we encourage you to join as much as you can. The classes, workshops, and excursions are thoughtfully designed to support your experience and help you get the most out of the retreat. That said, it’s important to honor your body and your energy—if you need to rest or take solo time, that’s always okay. This is your space to explore what balance looks like for you.

  • Not at all! Roughly half of our retreaters come solo, and we intentionally create an environment where connection and community happen organically. You’re in great company!

  • If you prefer your own space, single/private rooms are available. However, many of our retreaters come solo, and prefer to share with other solo travelers. If you don’t specify a roommate, you’ll be paired with another same-sex traveler.

  • If you’re registering with another person, each of you will need to complete your own registration form. This ensures we have accurate information for each participant, including accommodation preferences, dietary needs, and emergency contacts.
