Bigger Life Adventures Retreats Are Different
“The plant medicine retreat in Guatemala was my second retreat with Bigger Life Adventures; it was beyond my wildest imagination of how wonderful this trip was going to be. Everything was organized and communication was so clear for traveling outside the county. The entire trip went smooth, and any issues we had were handled quickly and efficiently. I could go on and on about what Carrie and Zach bring to the table but it’s something you should try out for yourself! You create lifelong friends you never know you needed! Definitely plan on traveling with them again! ☮️ ❤️ 😃 ”
“I was burned out and tired. I took a spontaneous adventure with Bigger Life Adventures and it literally changed my life. Carrie’s itinerary was top notch!”
"The best thing was a sense of accomplishment by finishing the journey — and feeling gritty and strong. Sleeping by the ocean having just had a delicious meal from Zach, it's pretty much the top of the world in experiences."
There are countless yoga retreats out there, but none quite like this. Bigger Life Adventures was founded to help people reconnect with themselves and nature through conscious, alcohol-free travel and trauma-informed yoga. Our retreats are intentionally designed for real people — teachers, artists, travelers, and everyday humans who want more than just a vacation.
Adventure Retreats for All
Our sober travel groups bring together people of all backgrounds, ages, and experience levels. We welcome all genders and all yoga abilities — from total beginners to seasoned teachers. Each class includes modifications so you can practice at your own pace, whether you’re traveling solo or with a friend.
Sustainable, Ethical Travel
How we travel matters. Every Bigger Life Adventures retreat supports local guides, eco-friendly lodging, and community initiatives that protect the environment and honor the cultures we visit. We prioritize slow, mindful travel that fosters genuine cultural connection instead of extraction.
Authentic Yoga & Yogic Living
Yoga isn’t just about the poses, it’s about how you live. Each retreat includes workshops on yoga philosophy, self-inquiry, and opportunities to practice “off the mat” in community and nature. We explore concepts like ahimsa (non-violence), santosha (contentment), and svadhyaya (self-study) in ways that are accessible, modern, and real.
More Than a Vacation
A typical vacation can leave you needing another break. A Bigger Life Adventures retreat goes deeper, combining inner work with real adventure. Mornings begin with meditation and yoga. Days unfold with hikes or nature adventures, cultural exploration, and plenty of time to relax in a hammock. Evenings close with yin yoga, journaling, sound healing, or campfires under the stars. All activities on retreat are always optional, so you can choose to join or rest based on what’s best for you.

You don’t have to be sober in real life to join us. Everyone is recovering from something. We welcome people on all paths of recovery or healing, sober-curious folks, and anyone who enjoys a mindful trip without the buzz.
It's not about escaping life. It's about remembering what makes it beautiful.
