# Soulscape Retreats: Week-Long Yoga Trips Around the World > Soulscape Retreats is a Los Angeles-based company, not a single center. It runs week-long group trips that pair daily yoga and meditation with sightseeing and outdoor excursions in a different country each time. It suits travelers who want a guided, sociable way to see a new place without giving up their practice.

It's a small company in Los Angeles that plans yoga trips abroad, books the venue, and leads a group through about a week of practice, food and exploring. Each retreat is in a different place, so the setting, rooms and pace change from trip to trip. The company says it picks striking places to travel, and its own write-up mentions Bali, Peru, Portugal, Sedona, Thailand, Tuscany, the Sahara, New Zealand and Ibiza among the spots its guests have practiced. Travel + Leisure has pointed to trips in Queenstown, New Zealand, and Sardinia, Italy, but neither is on the calendar right now. The trips are led by Katie Nesbitt, a 500-hour certified yoga teacher from Los Angeles, and Amy Scarlet, an emergency room nurse. Both are Level 2 Reiki practitioners. The tone is warm and social: you practice together, eat together, and head out on excursions as a group, with free time built in. ## The programs Recent and upcoming retreats run for 7 days and 6 nights. Here's what's on the calendar as of our check: - **Magical Morocco (October 2026):** Three nights at a private riad in Marrakech with rooftop yoga, a drive over the Atlas Mountains to 2 nights in glamping tents in the Sahara, sunrise camel rides and a final night back in the city. - **The Philippines (March 2027):** A beachside resort in El Nido, Palawan, with morning yoga, a gentler late-afternoon class, sound baths and private boat trips to islands and lagoons for swimming and snorkeling. - **Peru Yoga & Healing (May 2027):** An eco retreat center in the Sacred Valley between Cusco and Machu Picchu, with a guided day at Machu Picchu, a fire ceremony with a local shaman and a cacao ceremony. Most trips include twice-daily yoga, along with meditation, breathwork and somatic practices. Accommodation, airport transfers on set times and many meals are included, though exactly which meals varies by trip. Flights, travel insurance, tips and specialty drinks aren't included. Read each trip page carefully, since the details differ. ## Who it suits (and who it doesn't) It's a good fit if you want to see somewhere new with a ready-made group and someone else handling the logistics. Solo travelers tend to do well here, since you're part of a small group from day one. The company says its classes suit all levels, from beginners to experienced students. It's less suited to anyone after a fixed retreat center to return to, a strict or silent schedule, or a spa-focused stay. The trips are active and involve a fair bit of moving around, so if you'd rather stay put in one quiet spot, look elsewhere. Dates are limited and the company notes that spots can go quickly. ## Getting there You book your own flights to the meeting city, such as Marrakech, El Nido (ENI) or Cusco (CUZ). Each trip page lists set airport pickup and drop-off times on arrival and departure days. Cusco sits above 11,000 feet, so give yourself time to adjust before the Peru trip. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Soulscape a single retreat center?
