The owner and founder of Sadhana Retreats

Hi, I’m Trace, founder of Sādhanā Retreats (pronounced Sah-da-nah).

Sādhanā Retreats was born from a vision to make the deeper teachings of yoga - philosophy, meditation, pranayama, mantra, and more - accessible to all, no matter where they are. It is a space designed for those seeking more than just the physical practice, offering an opportunity to immerse in the essence of yoga from the comfort of your home.

During the pandemic, online platforms created a bridge to incredible yoga teachers from around the world, proving that connection, learning, and transformation could transcend physical spaces. Yet, traditional retreats often remained out of reach - limited by cost, location, or scheduling.

Sādhanā Retreats was created to break down those barriers, offering immersive and enriching retreat experiences that fit into everyday life. Rooted in tradition and supported by a global community, it is a sanctuary for self-discovery, continuous learning, and deepening practice - wherever you are.

Sādhanā Retreats is more than a place to learn. It's a place to
remember.

Our philosophy is built on the soul qualities of abundance, generosity, connection, community, wisdom, and transformation - these aren’t just values; they’re the driving force behind everything we do.

Sādhanā Retreats is an online platform created out of my personal desire to offer something different: a space where yoga retreats are not bound by location or cost, and where meaningful connections are fostered, no matter where you are in the world. It’s a place where you can access the incredible teachers and transformative teachings that have deeply inspired me - and a community that supports your personal journey.

what we stand for

In the world of Sādhanā Retreats, we believe that:

● Abundance and Generosity fuel everything we offer. We believe in the power of sharing - whether it’s through accessible retreats, community support, or creating a space where you can thrive. When we share our abundance, it multiplies. That's why, with every retreat purchased, we donate a portion of proceeds to community projects and charities that align with our values. And the best part? You get to choose where your contribution goes.

● Connection and Community are at the heart of our mission. Yoga is about more than just the practice - it’s about connecting with yourself and others on this shared journey. Our retreats are designed to bring people together, fostering a sense of belonging, and creating space for meaningful growth.

● Wisdom and Transformation are woven into every retreat. We don’t just teach yoga; we invite you to transform the knowledge you gain into embodied wisdom - wisdom that extends into your daily life and practice.

● Integrity and Honesty are non-negotiable in everything we do. We are committed to authenticity and honouring the unique path of each individual on their journey.

● Joy is a core value we cultivate in all we do. We believe joy is not just a feeling - it’s an experience, and it’s something we continually seek to both experience and share with others.

why we do this

Simply put: we want to create a world where everyone, no matter where they are, has access to the transformative power of yoga and community. We want you to feel supported, uplifted, and empowered as you navigate the personal growth that a dedicated yoga practice offers.

If you value being part of a supportive community, if you long to connect with your truest self, and if you’re ready for transformation, you’ve found your place here with us.

Welcome to the community. Welcome to Sādhanā Retreats.

what is sādhanā?

Sādhanā साधना (pronounced Sah-da-nah)

Although it’s often translated as a path of spiritual achievement, Sādhanā is not about striving to achieve - it’s a commitment to bringing balance to body, mind, and spirit through an intentional, consistent practice.

Over time, this practice softens the illusion of separation - helping us move beyond ‘self’ and ‘other’ into a more unified, connected way of being. Sādhanā is a devotion to your own unfolding. Transformation doesn’t arrive all at once - it lives in the daily, mindful moments that shape who we become.

Yoga is a vast and lifelong journey, deeply rooted in Indian traditions. At Sādhanā Retreats, we do not claim to offer the entirety of yoga’s depth, but rather a bridge for those seeking to explore beyond the mainstream. We honor the wisdom keepers, teachers, and traditions that have carried these teachings for generations.

We acknowledge that we meet and work on Indigenous lands across the globe and we pay respect to elders, past and present, and acknowledge the role that Indigenous peoples continue to play within their local communities.
