This is more than just a retreat. It s an invitation to explore the powerful dualities of life: light and shadow, fire and ice, joy and sorrow. Together, we’ll dive into the raw beauty of Iceland’s landscapes, balancing daily yoga with unforgettable adventures like exploring powerful, yet quiet locations from a local s view, soaking in hot springs, and riding horses across some of the most awe inspiring terrain you’ve ever seen.
Midweek, we’ll witness the breathtaking solar eclipse as it crosses the Icelandic sky, a rare and potent moment that invites us to embrace our own renewal and rebirth. This celestial event will mirror the transformations we all experience, as we shed old layers and ignite new possibilities for ourselves. Just like Iceland, where every magical moment is woven with layers of mystery, this journey will stir up contrasts within you. You’ll come face to face with your own inner elements and find the strength to embrace your light and your shadows.
Whether you’re seeking deep transformation or simply the freedom of a wild adventure, this retreat is your chance to reconnect, reignite, and remember the power that lies within. We can’t wait to share this epic experience with you.
This retreat was incredible. Great attention to detail in the planning was obvious in every excursion, class, accommodation. Not just that things ran smoothly but that the events, locations, classes, experiences were so intentional and thoughtful. I took this trip in an attempt to make some time for myself, have space to think, and enjoy a wonderful adventure. I certainly accomplished all that and more, and had so much confidence in those who planned and accomplished the trip. The food was amazing. Delicious but also colorful, nourishing, satisfying. Breathe taking views, safe environment, comfortable amenities, helpful kind staff, enriching classes and practices. I was so filled in every way.
Here’s the thing: it’s great to go on vacation… You feel rested and renewed while away, but you return back to life with the same habits. The same thought process. The same life stressors and problems. The same way of dealing with things.
But at a retreat you dig in. You uncover and return home with new thought patterns and tools to deal with those stressors and problems. You refresh your energy for the long term, to support you in your daily life. You connect with yourself and your community on a deeper level.
Retreats like ours help you transform, while also having a ton of fun.
Shayla and Meghan first crossed paths in Costa Rica, despite both living just miles apart in Pittsburgh. During a week long yoga teacher training, their friendship was sealed. Over the years, through yoga classes, travel adventures, and countless late night conversations, they’ve become more than friends, fondly referring to each other as “yoga wives.” Together, they’ve discovered not only the personal growth that comes from a dedicated yoga practice, but also the deep sense of community and connection it creates.
Though Meghan may feel like a new face to the Ignite community, she’s been part of its roots from the very beginning. Long before the website launched or the studio doors opened, she was brainstorming and daydreaming alongside Shayla, always a steady support and trusted sounding board. Now, we couldn’t be more excited for her to step into the spotlight, meet this incredible community, and share the journey she’s quietly nurtured for so many years.
