Do I need to be flexible or experienced in yoga?
No. Insight with Joni Retreats emphasize gentle and restorative practices, breathwork, and mindfulness. Everything is invitational and adaptable.

I’m introverted/nervous about group settings—will I be comfortable?
Groups are usually small, norms are clear, and there’s spacious time for solitude. Many participants arrive solo and leave feeling connected yet unpressured.

What does a typical day look like?
A calm morning practice, unhurried meals, nature time, journaling/reflection, and an afternoon restorative or mindful session—plus ample free time. If it’s an international retreat, a few optional excursions will be planned throughout the week.

Is this a “fitness” retreat?
No. These retreats focus on nervous-system reset, clarity, and meaning—not advanced poses or long, intense physical sessions.

What if I’m brand new to meditation or breathwork?
Great. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance and simple practices you can use at home.

Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Many do. We can offer roommate matching when appropriate, and you’ll have time for yourself whenever you need it.

What’s included vs. not included?
Generally: lodging, daily practices, group sessions, and select meals/activities (varies by retreat). Travel and certain extras are typically not included—please see each retreat page for details. When you sign up for a retreat, you’ll also receive a retreat agreement that outlines what is specifically included and what isn’t.

How physically demanding are the nature activities?
Expect accessible options like mindful walks or gentle hikes. You choose your own pace. And everything is optional.

I’m busy—how do I justify the time?
Retreats create a reset that often saves time later—clearer decisions, steadier energy, and practical tools for daily life.

What makes these retreats different?
Nature-centered settings, gentle practices, small groups, and trauma-sensitive facilitation from an experienced facilitator focused on authentic connection and meaning.
