Not a standard retreat, but a breathing adventure. Breathwork, yin yoga and deep nature — from a long weekend to several months.

Temporarily join our nomadic rhythm. Between breathwork, yin yoga, nature and deep presence.

No fixed program. No strict schedule. Just what arises when you breathe, move and be together.

You are already whole. You have everything you need within you.

Yoga and meditation in nature

What you really need? LIFE. Raw, real, tangible life.

What is nomadic co-travel, in short?

Nomadic co-travel is longer immersion than a classic one-week retreat: you share daily life (coliving) across changing places, with yoga, breath and nature as the thread rather than only a fixed class schedule. Remote work or sabbatical can run alongside; the intensity is more organic than a resort retreat.

At Spiriators

You temporarily travel with us — around six guests, yin and breath in our rhythm, not a resort and not a rigid schedule. From a long weekend to several weeks; price always by arrangement, with fixed packages as a clear indication. Start with a no-pressure intro; we look honestly at whether it fits.

🇪🇸 Tenerife, Spain

Volcanic tranquility on the Canary Islands — where the ocean breathes and nature reminds you what's real

Tenerife, who dares the leap?

Imagine: breathwork on a volcanic island, yoga at sunrise above the clouds, and transformation in a place where the Atlantic Ocean pushes your boundaries and Mount Teide reminds you of your own strength.

Yes, I'm joining Tenerife!

What is Nomadic Co-Travel?

Nomadic co-travel is not a retreat in the classic sense — see also our retreat guide. It is a period where you literally move with our life — across changing locations, with an organic rhythm instead of a fixed program.

You travel together with Tessa and Johannes. You sleep where we sleep, eat what we eat, and breathe when it fits the day. No rigid schedule, but a clear daily thread: yin yoga and breathwork, nature, silence, conversation and presence. For those looking to travel with like-minded people, without the noise of a large group trip.

What is coliving?
Coliving is temporarily living together in one house or space with shared facilities and rhythm — not a hotel, not a classic retreat campus. In nomadic co-travel that means: you share daily life with a small group, while yin, breath and nature stay the thread.

Some days feel light and adventurous. Other days deep silence or emotional work surfaces. Because the environment keeps changing, old patterns are often released more easily than during a retreat at one fixed location.

You decide how long your nomadic journey lasts — from a long weekend. Most people stay between 7 and 21 days. Longer is possible if it feels right. Shorter is possible too, but the first days are for arriving.

Yoga retreat, yoga holiday or nomadic co-travel?

A classic yoga retreat is a fixed program at one location — usually 5 to 10 days with set yoga classes, meditation and meals. A yoga holiday is looser: you stay in a hotel or resort with yoga as an extra. Nomadic co-travel is different: no resort, no fixed program, but daily life itself — across changing places. More forms: our retreat comparison and yoga hub.

Why the differences matter: at a retreat or group trip abroad you're often in a 'bubble' that disappears after a week. With co-traveling the environment keeps changing while the rhythm (breath, yin yoga, nature, silence) stays the same. It's essentially a yoga retreat on the road — less of a 'course' and more a temporary way of living for people beyond a first retreat experience.

Classic yoga retreat

Fixed program, one location, 5–10 days. Good if you want to learn yoga or meditation deeply in a short time.

Yoga holiday

Hotel or resort with daily yoga as an extra. Light, relaxing, little depth or guidance.

Nomadic co-travel

Changing places, organic rhythm, from a long weekend. Personal guidance from Tessa & Johannes.

Popular destinations — and where we are

The most-searched yoga retreat destinations are Portugal, Spain, Bali and Costa Rica — not by chance the places where we like to stay. Portugal and Spain offer mild climate, short flights from the Netherlands and lots of nature. Bali and Costa Rica require longer travel but offer deeper stillness through tropical calm.

With us you don't travel to a hotel with yoga class — you temporarily live where we are at that moment. Sometimes Portugal, sometimes a coastal town in Spain, sometimes a quiet house in Costa Rica. See 'Where we are' for our current location and planning.

What Can You Expect?

4 core experiences

Build new pathways

Old triggers and patterns can loosen because the daily environment keeps changing. You get room to practice living differently — no magic reset, but support.

Closer to yourself & nature

Breathwork and yin yoga outdoors, between mountains, jungle or ocean. Nature often amplifies what the session opens — supportive together.

Rhythm instead of program

No 24/7 intensive schedule. But a clear daily thread of yoga, breathwork and presence — the rest arises organically.

Coming home to yourself

Many people experience more coming-home in body and life — on the road and after. What stays depends on integration at home; we support with aftercare.

Who it's for — and who it isn't

This fits you if…

  • You work remotely or live location-independent (digital nomad).
  • You like a daily rhythm of breathwork and yin yoga, not a packed program.
  • You want deeper work than a one-week retreat, without a months-long commitment.
  • You're independent enough to manage your own work and rest.
  • You like to travel in a small, conscious group.

Less suitable if…

  • You're looking for an escape from life — we don't do escape; we do presence and integration.
  • You're dealing with serious mental-health conditions that need acute or ongoing clinical care.
  • You just want a holiday — this is not a hotel-yoga vacation or resort.
  • You need a strict hour-by-hour program to get moving.
  • You can't do without a fixed home base and social routine.
  • You have acute medical issues requiring continuous care or 24/7 monitoring.
  • You're looking for a traditional silent retreat without work or freedom of movement.
  • You cannot or do not want to be away from work and home for at least a long weekend.

In that case a classic retreat or 1:1 trajectory fits better — feel free to ask us.

Deep connection during nomadic co-travel | Spiriators

Experiences

"Unfolding. That word covers what Tessa's lessons mean to me. For years I've followed her online, and in all that time I've slowly untangled things that had settled deep inside me: emotions, thoughts, beliefs I didn't even know I carried. It's a path from unconscious to awareness. Sometimes gentle, sometimes painfully honest. But always real. Tessa guides that process with a calm that gives you trust. She forces nothing, but invites. And in the silence of a yin pose, sometimes more happens than just talking. For anyone ready to unfold a little: I highly recommend Tessa."

A short introduction of Spiriators

The science

Why nomadic can often support more deeply than a fixed retreat

A retreat in one place gives rest. Changing places — as with nomadic co-travel — taps mechanisms (habit discontinuity, richer environments) that often help change land better. No guarantee, but a strong context + sources.

01

Habit Discontinuity

Habits live in fixed cues — a sound, a place, a time. By regularly changing location, the chain of automatic reactions is broken. Your brain has to choose again, instead of reacting on autopilot.

Source: Verplanken et al. (2008), Journal of Environmental Psychology.

02

Environmental Enrichment

New environments can support neuroplasticity: research points to faster new connections and learning. Changing places are rich input for your nervous system — supportive, not a medical claim.

What is neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is your brain’s capacity to form new connections and adjust old patterns. New environments often amplify that process — which is why changing location in co-travel can help change land, better than one week in the same place for many people. No per-person promise.

Source: Kempermann, Kuhn & Gage (1997), Nature.
