What is nomadic co-travel, in short?
Nomadic co-travel means spending longer periods (weeks to months) on the road with a small group, while yoga, breathwork and conscious routines form the daily thread. You share coliving houses in calm locations, combine work or sabbatical with practice, and build a rhythm that goes beyond a classic one-week retreat.

What is Nomadic Co-Travel?
Nomadic co-travel is not a retreat in the classic sense. 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.
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 at home and abroad.
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 loosen because the daily environment keeps changing. You literally get space to live differently.
Closer to yourself & nature
Breathwork and yin yoga outdoors, between mountains, jungle or ocean. Nature often does more work than any session.
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
A deep, lasting feeling of coming home in your own body and life. Not just during the trip, but also when you return home.
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.
Less suitable if…
- —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 or psychological issues requiring continuous care.
- —You're looking for a traditional silent retreat without work or freedom of movement.
In that case a classic retreat or 1:1 trajectory fits better — feel free to ask us.

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
Why nomadic works deeper than a fixed retreat
A retreat in one place gives rest. But changing places — as with nomadic co-travel — activates mechanisms in the brain that literally lock in change.
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.
Environmental Enrichment
New environments stimulate neuroplasticity: the brain forms new connections faster, learning capacity increases, and stress regulation improves. Changing places are literally food for your nervous system.
