Operating manual for independent retreat leaders and yoga teachers. Plain-spoken chapters and interactive tools for the decisions that actually keep you up at night — what to charge, whether it’ll be profitable, and how to fill the room.
Every tool works right here, no sign-in. Your results get a shareable link you can come back to.
What to actually charge — anchored to your costs, your margin, and the market you are really in.
Leader Chapter 2The number that actually matters: how many guests you need before the retreat pays for itself.
Leader Chapter 3Where your next guests actually come from — matched to your audience, your budget, and the hours you have.
A venue checklist that catches the costs and clauses first-timers miss.
An interactive countdown so nothing slips in the final three months.
Drop-in, packs, memberships — what each should cost and why.
A readiness self-assessment for turning a teaching practice into a business.
Deposit structures that protect your cash flow without scaring guests off.
A comms cadence that keeps guests informed without living in your inbox.
A post-retreat sequence that turns one great week into next year’s bookings.
Most retreat advice is either fluff or a sales pitch. This is neither. It’s the working knowledge of people who’ve run retreats — turned into tools you can use while you plan yours. Use it for one decision or follow it from first idea to fully booked.
