42 Retreats Sold Out In 17 Countries in 2024!
“Working with Ashley has been invaluable as we’ve grown One Yoga Global… to offering 4x our original business plan including an increasing amount of sold out retreats each year.”
- Laura Forsyth, founder of One Yoga Global
🌺 The Retreat Leader Blueprint
Finally, a clear path to filling your retreat from someone who’s actually been helping retreat leaders sell out their retreats since 2010!
I’ve helped yoga retreat leaders sell out retreats in over 20 countries — and I also have an agency that advises hotels and wellness destinations around the world on how to add millions in group sales with yoga retreats and wellness groups..
Now, I’ve taken that same leading-edge guidance — usually reserved for hotels with entire sales teams — and customized it for retreat leaders like you: soulful, creative, and ready to fill retreats without the grind of tech, ad spend, or endless hours online.
Hello! I’m Ashley
🌺 The Retreat Leader Blueprint
This isn’t just a call — it’s a transformation. By the time we hang up, you’ll have a clear, customized ACTION PLAN that feels exciting, doable, and built to sell out your retreat with ease.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
✨ An Easy Sales Strategy – designed specifically for your retreat (dates, destination, and style). You’ll know exactly what to do next to fill your spots with confidence.
🌎 Haven’t locked in details yet? No problem. I’ll guide you through what to offer, how to partner with hotels, the best destination + dates, optimal pricing, packages, and messaging — so your retreat is irresistible from day one.
💫 Marketing That Feels Effortless – no more overthinking, no more “what do I post?” stress. You’ll leave with simple steps that feel natural, joyful, and totally aligned with you.
⚡ Simple Automations – I’ll show you how to put your retreat marketing on autopilot. These behind-the-scenes systems handle the heavy lifting, so you can spend less time glued to your laptop and more time doing what lights you up: sharing dreamy pics of your destination and connecting with guests who are over the moon to join you.
🌟 The Confidence Factor – no more wondering if you’re “doing it right.” You’ll leave with a roadmap that makes consistent promotion easy, sustainable, and actually fun.
🙋♀️ Open Q&A – nothing is off the table. Ask me anything about:
Standing out from other retreat leaders
Becoming in-demand and magnetic
Getting featured in trusted media outlets
Partnering with hotels and brands for bigger opportunities
By the end of this session, you’ll feel crystal clear, fired up, and ready to move forward with a plan that actually works.
Who This Is Not For
This session isn’t the right fit if:
You’re looking for someone to do all the work for you (this is about empowering you with the plan, not outsourcing execution).
You feel that sending more than one email a week is “too salesy.” (The truth: the right people are waiting for you to invite them.)
You want to “try one post and see what happens.” (This is for leaders committed to creating retreats that fill with joy and ease.)
Imagine how it feels when:
You announce your retreat and bookings roll in (without begging or pushing).
Your audience says “I’ve been waiting for this!” and sign up easily.
You know exactly what to post, email, and share — with confidence, not confusion.
You finally break free from admin overwhelm and start enjoying promoting because it feels natural, not forced.
You have a system that automatically registers, collects payments, and sends follow ups to the participants leading up to the retreat PLUS collects five star reviews that you can leverage to sell out your next retreat!
You arrive at your retreat with a group of perfect-fit travelers, already excited and ready.
Who This Is For
Not all retreat leaders are the same — and that’s the beauty of this work. Whether you’re planning your very first retreat or you’ve led multiple retreats already, the Blueprint is customized to meet you exactly where you are.
🌱 For the First-Time (or New) Retreat Leader
You’re just getting started — and you’ve got questions. Maybe you haven’t locked in your dates or destination yet, and you’re not sure how to price, package, or position your retreat so it actually fills. Right now, everything feels like shiny-object syndrome and you want clarity, not confusion.
How I’ll help you:
Choose the right destination, dates, and venue that’s aligned with you, your vision and brand
Create irresistible packages + pricing that attract the right guests and give you healthy profit margins
Clarify your unique retreat angle so you stand out from the noise
Map out exactly what to post and send (so you don’t waste time guessing or ghosting your audience)
What you’ll walk away with:
A clear retreat concept that feels aligned and exciting
An easy sales strategy you can actually follow
Confidence in your pricing, messaging, and next steps + having conversations with hotels, accommodations, retreat centers and tour guides
A roadmap that removes the overwhelm and helps you finally move forward
🌟 For the Seasoned Retreat Leader
You’ve led retreats before, maybe several, and your audience trusts you. But even with experience, you’re still doing everything yourself: managing spreadsheets, posting nonstop, and stuck behind your laptop instead of enjoying the process. You know you could be filling retreats more consistently — but not at the cost of your energy.
How I’ll help you:
Streamline your promotion with simple automations that take 80% of the manual work off your plate
Refine your sales strategy so it’s smarter, easier, and scales with your growth
Uplevel your marketing to feel effortless (no more “what should I post?” spiral) or inconsistency showing up in front of your audience
Show you how to stand out in a crowded retreat market and keep filling spots with ease
What you’ll walk away with:
A marketing + sales system that works for you behind the scenes
More time for the fun parts: connecting with your people and sharing the magic of your destination
Renewed excitement about promoting retreats (without burning out)
The confidence that every retreat you plan can fill with joy and consistency
👉 Whether you’re brand new or experienced, the Retreat Leader Blueprint gives you a plan that feels aligned, doable, and exciting — not overwhelming.

✨ Optional Add-On Post Blueprint Session: Extended guidance leading up to your retreat (via WhatsApp and check-ins). This can only be purchased after your Blueprint Session, once we know if it’s the right fit for your retreat timeline.
Because my primary focus is consulting for hotels with my team at the agency, I only take a handful of retreat leaders each month for these private zoom Blueprints. Spots are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
If the Retreat Leader Blueprint is a match for you, you’ll receive a private link to schedule and pay for your session.
What Retreat Leaders are saying about Ashley…
Gina Caccavalla, Ayurveda Specialist, Yoga Teacher & Retreat Leader
“As someone who has led retreats in Hawaii and Westhampton Beach, I was spending so much time on my laptop second guessing my marketing strategy. I didn’t know what to spend my time on that would result in the most retreat sign-ups but also not drain me.
Ashley gave me a sales strategy to follow that felt authentic and marketing actions that felt effortless for my lifestyle and my retreat goals. The simple automations she showed me freed up hours every week so I could focus on the fun parts. Within weeks I went from feeling behind to feeling fully in control and most importantly, I sold out my retreats without burnout."
Raneem Sawan, Yoga Teacher and owner of The Lighthouse Hotel & Spa in Nicaragua
“We were even featured in the exclusive National Geographic Traveler’s Island Collection Book because of our Instagram content.”
Emily Ridout, AstroYoga Specialist, founder of International School of AstroYoga
“I’m about to lead my first AstroYoga Adventure retreat in North Iceland!
Ashley is a delight to work with who will also get you results! Before Ashley I was working multiple jobs while trying to get my AstroYoga business off the ground - flash forward to today and I’m now doing what I love full time. I’ve been featured in Yoga Journal, Reader’s Digest, and InStyle magazine and interviewed on several podcasts for my work. I’ve experienced growth and improvement in professional relationships, abundant opportunities, business clarity, and financial profit since Ashley. I highly, highly, highly recommend her!”
Laura Shook Guzman – Entrepreneur, CEO of Soma Vida Wellness Coworking, Women Who Cowork, Podcast Host, Somatic Psychotherapist, LMFT
“Ashley Steinmetz is a trusted advisor that shows me how to maximize revenue, locate opportunities, navigate growth and create powerful relationships for all of my wellness related businesses. I’m lucky to have her in my pocket. Since aligning with Ashley, I’ve experienced a big leap in professional growth in a very short amount of time. I’m very enthusiastic for what this means for me personally and professionally.
I highly recommend you connect with Ashley if you want an innovative advisor who completely understands the business of wellness, and what it takes to be a successful leader in the industry nowadays.”
Kelsey Kosmala - Yoga Retreat Leader
“Ashley taught me how to profit in the wellness tourism industry and gave me step by step guidance on how to create international relationships with hotels and retreat centers. She helped me better understand the goals of hotel owners and managers so that I could offer my skills and bring value to properties by offering wellness services like yoga and Ayurveda to their guests. Ashley was influential in teaching me how to work with the media specifically travel and wellness magazines and showed me how to craft pitches for journalists and feel comfortable promoting myself.
My world has opened up to so many opportunities and relationships since I began learning from Ashley, she is such an inspiration and exceptional mentor to me.”
