Airfare

Travel to and from the retreat (don't worry we can share the HOW TO's)

Extra expenditures- there are lots of fabulous restaurants and shopping in Downtown Marble Falls and Johnson City to check out!

Fees for some optional activities & massage services

Travel insurance (required for your peace of mind)

Nearest Airports:

Austin International Airport (AUS) is 55 minutes away.

San Antonio Airport (SAT) is 1 hour 18 minutes away.

Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport (GRK) is 1 hour 25 minutes away.

TRAVEL ESSENTIALS:

Passport for any international travel (works for any travel) – is it up to date by the way?

Ticket – print that boarding pass AND add it to your phone!

Visa – not the plastic kind (though that is fine to bring) but if you are traveling international – check with your destination to see if you need one.

CLOTHING:

Less is more! You won’t need as much as you think, so ditch the ‘just in case’ mentality on this one:

Undies – Pack a pair of undies for each day, plus a spare just in case your flight gets delayed.

Bras – Unless you’re practicing bikram yoga or going somewhere particularly hot, one sports bra for every two days will be ample. As you’ll mostly be hanging out in your workout gear, you can probably get away with packing just one ‘regular’ bra also (if that is how you roll).

Socks – Pack one pair of socks per day for walking, and to keep your toes toasty if visiting a cooler area. However if you will be in warmer climates (such as beaches)- you may only need one or two pairs for the whole trip as you may be in sandal/open toe shoes most of the time.

Yoga Pants – One pair of yoga pants for every two days is sufficient.

Lightweight Tops – Bring one per day. They’re small and weigh barely anything, so you can get away with packing more tops than pants.

Waterproof Pants – Yoga pants are usually sufficient for walking, but if you’re doing a lot of hiking and/or depending on the season, waterproof pants can be handy!

Layering Tops – Bring one or two for downtime and cooler days. Cardigan, hoodie, or jumper for layering over your lightweight yoga tops works nicely.

Shawl – A shawl serves a triple purpose as you can use it to keep warm at the beginning and end of your yoga practice, a handy extra layer while out walking, or at dinner and you can use it during your flights (those planes are always so cold!).

Swimsuit – Obviously you’re only going to need this if your accommodation has a pool, hot tub, spa or you’ll be staying near the water.

Lightweight Rain Jacket – Some destinations are a no-brainer to take a rain jacket – but you would be surprised at how many times we are surprised by rain.

A heads up on clothing – Many of us pack way more than we need. You’ll find most people are happy to hang around in their yoga wear all day – layering up as needed and if you need anything outside of this list, your guide will usually let you know ahead of time (doesn’t hurt to ask!).

FOOTWEAR:

A yoga retreat is not the time to bring your stilettos! Even the fanciest of retreats have a laid-back attitude towards attire. Comfort takes priority when on a retreat.

Walking Shoes – Most yoga retreats also offer walks or hikes in the surrounding areas. Even if they don’t, it’s a good way to explore. Sturdy and waterproof is best.

Flip Flops/Sandals – For downtime and/or relaxing by the pool, or at the beach (or, as most of us find…all the time shoes)

Casual Day Shoes – Whether these are your walking shoes or sandals depends on where you are going, but I’m talking about shoes you can wear on the plane and for exploring when you get to your destination.

TOILETRIES:

It’s best to check with your retreat about what they provide their guests. In very remote areas, the retreat may even recycle the water and therefore require you to use the toiletries they provide.

The Basics – If not provided, take your own shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Remember to keep bottles less than 100ml so you can pack them safely in your carry-on!

Toothbrush & Toothpaste – Take a mini toothpaste to avoid clogging up your luggage.

Deodorant – here is a total kit that many have found beneficial

Minimal Makeup – This is the time to embrace ‘au naturel’ by ditching the major make up routine. If you can’t bear to be bare, then a BB Cream (with SPF) and lip balm should do the trick.

Sanitary Items – Even if you’re not expecting ‘aunt flow’ to pay a visit, there’s nothing worse than being caught out in a foreign country.

OTHER HANDY ITEMS:

Most yoga retreats will offer some downtime to explore the local area, or just relax by the pool. Here are a few handy extras you may need to make the most of your retreat.

Mobile phone charger.

A good book.

Journal, pen, paper.

Sunhat/Sunglasses.

Reusable water bottle.

Hair ties.

Contact lenses/glasses.

Bug repellant/sunscreen.

Tylenol/Advil/Tums/band-aids/antihistamines/prescribed medications.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS:

Traveling Towel – Many retreats will only allocate you one towel for your stay, so it’s handy to have a spare quick-dry traveling towel on hand.

Yoga mat– Check with your retreat to find out if they provide these first, and if not, one that travels well is a must.

Camera & charger.

Small reading light – Rooms are commonly shared occupancy on yoga retreats, so pack a reading light so you can still read your book even if your roommate is an early bird!

Healthy snacks – If you’re used to grazing during the day it would be wise to bring something with you (check what you can bring into the country first if it is international).

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to hold your booking
