WHAT MAKES MYNDSTYLE RETREATS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RETREATS?

Our Retreats are crafted to be Experiential with life-changing features and elements.  We integrated components of the following Retreat styles:  Yoga, Adventure, Active, and Fitness.  So in essence, our Retreats have a base structure and layout that resembles a YogaVenture.  However, at the core, are Mindset elements that are subtly interweaved throughout the Retreat.  And, as always, we infuse features of the Mind, Body, & Soul

Our Retreats are the perfect balance of Mind, Body, & Soul with the ideal blend of Yoga & Meditation, Activities & Excursions, Fitness & Workshops, and Personal Development & Relaxation all with Delicious & Nutritious Meals.

HOW MANY PARTICIPANTS ATTEND EACH MYNDSTYLE RETREAT?

We typically limit the group size of each retreat to 8 – 12, depending on the location of the retreat.  This intimate size encourages everyone to form close friendships and bonds during their time together.

I’M FLYING SOLO ON THIS TRIP, WILL THERE BE OTHER INDIVIDUALS ALONE LIKE ME?

Definitely. MyndStyle often draws individuals who are traveling solo.  We will make sure you are paired up to share a room.  And though you may start out solo, you won’t be alone.  We provide an environment that fosters bonding during the retreat so that you are guaranteed to leave with a whole new set of friends.

MY FRIEND AND I WILL BOTH BE TRAVELING ON A MYNDSTYLE RETREAT, CAN WE ROOM TOGETHER?

Of course!  Just let us know in advance and we’ll make sure you are sharing a room.

I’M ALL FOR BEING SOCIAL, BUT I ALSO LIKE MY PRIVACY, CAN I HAVE A SINGLE ROOM?

We offer a limited number of single rooms on most retreats.  If you are interested in a single room, book early to ensure you will have a space of your own.

WHAT IS THE AGE RANGE OF MYNDSTYLE GUESTS?

MyndStyle attracts Individuals of all ages from 20’s to 60’s with the majority of our guest being in their 30’s – 50’s.

HOW LONG ARE MYNDSTYLE RETREATS? CAN I ATTEND FOR A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME?

Retreats vary from 4-7 nights.  If you need to cut your time short a bit, let us know and we’ll work with you.  

DO I HAVE TO BE FIT OR IN-SHAPE TO PARTICIPATE IN A MYNDSTYLE RETREAT? WILL I HAVE TROUBLE KEEPING UP?

Our guests come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and workout levels.  Although our Retreats have Fitness and Wellness elements incorporated, there’s no stress, no competition, no judgment.  We emphasis a balanced approach and promote the Mind Elements at our Retreats.  MyndStyle fosters a supportive environment, so you feel comfortable trying new things.

DOES EACH MYNDSTYLE RETREAT LOCATION HAVE WI-FI?

Almost always.  As much as we wish we could all unplug while on vacation, sometimes that’s just not feasible.  Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in almost all MyndStyle accommodations.  Please keep in mind that when traveling out of the country, Wi-Fi can be unreliable at times.

DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL MYNDSTYLE ACTIVITIES?

Although we encourage as much participation as possible, it is your Retreat and so you can participate in as many or as few activities as you wish with absolutely no pressure.  Our guests can even create their own adventure, one that suits their needs and how they feel from one day to another and modify it daily.  If you want to sleep in one morning, read a book by the pool in the afternoon, or turn in early at night, that’s your prerogative.     

I HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES/INTOLERANCES. (OR I’M VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN) WILL THERE BE ANYTHING I CAN EAT?

As long as you let us know in advance, we can work with our chef to accommodate your dietary needs.

CAN WE DRINK ALCOHOL ON A MYNDSTYLE RETREAT?

Alcohol is not included in the retreat price, but you are always welcome to purchase wine or alcohol locally and consume it during the retreat. Occasionally, an excursion during a retreat will include a wine tasting.

WHAT SHOULD I PACK?

We will email you a suggested packing list, specific to the retreat you are attending, one month in advance of your trip.  Also, our website will have a packing list for each Retreat along with other valuable resources and information. 

I REALLY LIKE MY SPA TREATMENTS. CAN I ARRANGE FOR MORE SPA TIME?

We like our spa treatments too!  We offer one Spa Treatment (Massage) with our Retreat, but you can arrange as many Spa Treatments directly with the Spa like Massages, Facials, or Mani/Pedi at a supplemental cost. 

DO I NEED TO RENT A CAR OR ARRANGE MY OWN TRANSPORTATION?

No, we provide ALL transportation – including airport transfers and transportation to all group activities/excursions.  If you anticipate that you will want to go out on your own during the retreat, you are welcome to rent a car and/or we can arrange for a taxi or car service for you at your expense. 

IS TIPPING INCLUDED? IF NOT, HOW MUCH SHOULD I TIP?

Tips are already included in the Retreat Price for most, if not all, our Events, Excursions, Activities, Meals and Transportation.  However, additional tips are at your discretion.  Tipping amount varies based on different regions.

WHAT VACCINATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED?

Please visit your family physician before your Retreat to make sure you receive the most accurate and up-to-date travel health information for the region or country you are traveling to.

IS TRAVEL INSURANCE REQUIRED?
Travel Insurance is mandatory for all our travelers. Your travel insurance must provide coverage against personal accidents, death, medical expenses and emergency repatriation (including air ambulance and helicopter rescue services) with a recommended minimum coverage of US $200,000 for each of the categories of coverage. We also strongly recommend travel insurance that covers cancellation, curtailment, personal liability and loss of luggage and personal effects. You must provide proof of your travel insurance on the first day of your trip; you will not be able to join the trip without it.

Here’s a short list of Travel Insurance Companies or you can google and research your own.  Just make sure it’s a reputable company and read the fine print especially the exclusions.

We are not affiliated with any of these Insurance Companies below and this short list is simply a resource to help you search and find your own Travel Insurance Company.

CAN I JOIN A TOUR LATE OR LEAVE IT EARLY?

We do not recommend arriving late, as it would be your responsibility to catch up to the rest of the group, and there would be no cost reduction. If you decide to leave early, we will not be able to refund you the remaining balance and you will be responsible to arrange the rest of your own transportation and accommodations.
