Taiwan Retreat 2026 15 – 25 April
Retreat Details
For the third — and possibly final — time, we’re heading to Taiwan on retreat from 15–25 April 2026.
Come and experience the many surprises Taiwan has to offer, and immerse yourself in a beautiful blend of yoga, travel, and local culture
This retreat is organised in collaboration with Light of Yoga studio in Taipei, led by Tony, who trained with Simon and opened Taiwan’s first Iyengar Yoga Centre. We’ll also be joined by Tony’s husband, Simon, an amazing and fun tour guide with deep local knowledge and plenty of hidden gems to share.
In our first retreat, we explored the mountains.
In our second, we discovered the South China Sea.
And in this one, we’ll explore the coastal region of southeast Taiwan, with time for surfing, exploring, and maybe some yoga by the sea.
We’re finalising the itinerary now, and below are the details we can share so far.

When is the retreat?
15 – 25th April 2026
This will be our last retreat to Taiwan for the foreseeable future, so don’t miss out on this incredible experience.
Our two previous retreats were highly rated by everyone who attended, with many participants joining us for both. Each retreat has offered something unique — and this one promises to be the most memorable yet.
