20+ Countries. Millions in Groups Booked.

Hotels Engage Us To:

• Reposition their property visually and verbally to signal “retreat-ready” across website and social platforms

• Refine messaging that attracts the right yoga retreat leaders and repels poor-fit operators

• Teach teams how to proactively identify, pursue, and engage retreat leaders

• Redesign group-sales process for multi-day retreat bookings

• Install repeat-booking strategies so successful operators return annually

• Create fast-response systems that prevent lead leakage at small teams

• Introduce smarter sales systems and automations once positioning is in place

• Build partnership channels with retreat operators and wellness brands

• Advise new developments before opening

• Convert shoulder seasons into high-value retreat windows

Engagements range from virtual advisory to on-site property intensives for select hotels.

Wellness Tourism Isn’t a Trend.

Retreats Are Its Highest-Leverage Segment.

√ Wellness travelers spend more.
√ Stay longer.
√ Travel in groups.
√ Return annually.

Within that market, yoga retreats are one of the most consistent, repeatable, and scalable group segments available to independent hotels.

Unlike weddings or corporate:

• groups arrive pre-organized
• stays run 4–7 nights or more
• shoulder seasons become prime
• food & beverage lifts
• spa utilization spikes
• activities monetize
• repeat bookings are common

This is why owners worldwide are now building second revenue pillars around retreat demand.

What One Yoga-Focused Strategy Can Mean for a Small Property

Consider a 20-room boutique hotel:

• 5 retreats per year
• average group buy-out
• 5-night stays
• conservative room rate

That alone can represent hundreds of thousands in incremental annual room revenue.

Add:

• meals • spa • excursions • transfers • private events • repeat operators

Now scale that to:

10–15 retreats per year.

This is how independent properties quietly build seven-figure group-revenue pillars without adding inventory.

Our work is designed to make that outcome predictable.

Not opportunistic.

We work with:

• independent hotels and boutique resorts
• retreat centers expanding occupancy
• island and remote properties
• new developments seeking group anchors
• owners and GMs building second revenue channels

This is not for:

• properties seeking social media management
• commission-based brokers
• one-off retreat matchmaking
• marketing experiments
• operators unwilling to evolve their sales approach

We build long-term demand.

Why Properties Call Us First

Because few advisors understand:

the hotel P&L
the sales floor
retreat leader psychology
group packaging
seasonality
operations
guest experience
and marketing, simultaneously.

That combination is rare.

It is also what determines whether retreats become: a side project, or a permanent revenue pillar.
