BE Together

An All Inclusive Desert Retreat for Community + Renewal

Sunday June 14- Tuesday June 16


Yoga retreats offer more than just a break from daily routines. They provide a unique space to deepen your practice, reconnect with yourself, and experience lasting changes in body and mind. Join Becky, Terri, and guest teacher Theresa for BE Together: An All Inclusive Desert Retreat for Community + Renewal — our first-ever Be Yoga and Wellness retreat away from home. This retreat is designed to connect you to yourself and to the powerful Be Yoga and Wellness community. Together we’ll move, breathe, rest, and simply BE in the serene desert landscape of Gaia Villa in Joshua Tree. Registration details are below.

There is a unique magic in stepping away together. As a community that has grown side by side on our mats, this retreat invites us to deepen our connection — to ourselves, to each other in the quiet spaciousness of the desert.

Over our time together, we’ll share yoga practices, chef prepared nourishing meals, creative activities, meditation, and plenty of time to rest and simply BE. With space for only 13 participants this retreat is designed to feel personal, grounding, and deeply restorative.


Come as you are. BE renewed, supported, and connected.


Experience Mental Clarity and Stress Relief


Yoga retreats create a calm, distraction-free environment that supports mental clarity. Being away from everyday stressors like work emails and social media allows your mind to rest and reset. The combination of yoga, meditation, and nature immersion helps reduce anxiety and improve focus.


Build Meaningful Connections


The strength of this studio has always been the community of students and teachers that practice together. This retreat continues to build on this foundation bringing this supportive community to a tranquil desert environment. Sharing meals, group activities, and discussions fosters friendships and connections that last beyond the retreat.This retreat will include options for group hikes or creative workshops that enhance these connections.


Recharge with Healthy Food and Rest


Alongside healthy eating, this retreat will honor your need for rest and recovery. Without the usual demands of daily life, your body can repair itself more effectively. Our retreat will offer a balance of activity and rest to help you leave feeling renewed.
