Yoga Elements Retreats—a women-owned retreat company based in Flagler County with yoga, camping and adventure retreats reaching all of north and central Florida, plus annual international retreats—has announced their upcoming retreats: Welcome Summer, from June 2 through 4, in Palm Coast, Florida; Puerto Rico, from July 13 through 16, in Ciales, Puerto Rico; Farm to Heart, from November 3 through 5, in Fort White, Florida; and Resilience Reset: Training and Retreat, from October 20 through 22, December 1 through 3 and February 23 through 25, in Apopka, Florida.

“At Yoga Elements, it is our passion to help guests disconnect from the stresses of everyday life through the connection that can only be found in nature,” says co-owner Whitney Andrews. “Our guests arrive on Friday evenings and spend two star-filled nights in luxury teepees. During the days of your all-inclusive retreat, you can expect yoga, meditation, forest bathing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), hiking and more!”

Both Whitney and co-owner Maggie Merkiel are certified through the Yoga Alliance as RYT-200 instructors, and also certified by SUP Yoga Center as SUP yoga instructors. Whitney and Maggie have held space for more than 65 guests, who have each left feeling a little lighter and a little more grounded than when they first arrived.

“It’s our dharma to hold this space for you—space to let go, to heal, to create new friendships,” shares Maggie. “Some of our retreats even offer continuing education credits for yoga teachers and licensed medical health providers!”
