Solace Yoga Retreats with Emily & Shir are intentional, travel-based wellness experiences designed to help you restore deeply and rise strong. Rooted in the belief that healing begins when we step away from the noise of everyday life, our retreats blend movement, stillness, nature, and meaningful connection in destinations that invite true transformation.
Each Solace experience is thoughtfully crafted to create space; space to breathe, to reflect, to reconnect, and to remember who you are beneath the busyness. Through yoga, meditation, immersive outdoor settings, and nourishing meals, we guide you back to your center while inspiring growth from within.
We believe travel is more than an escape ; it is a portal. When you change your environment, you shift your perspective. When you slow down, you build strength. When you gather in community, you rise together.
At Solace, stillness is not passive; it is powerful.
This is where you restore deeply.
This is where you rise strong.
Who we are…
