Welcome to mystical Joshua Tree, where you’ll enjoy a four night yoga retreat with Lumos Instructor Sam Leonetti, full of reflection, relaxation, and re-centering. Combining vinyasa flows, restorative yoga, and guided meditation with nature hikes, intention setting, and starlit bonfires, this retreat cultivates space to reconnect to yourself and the natural world. Our days include hikes in Joshua Tree National Park, sunrise meditation, stargazing in the desert, refreshing at a local spa, cozying up by the bonfire, journaling and reflecting, and nourishing meals provided by an on-site professional chef.
