COLOMBIA RETREAT
MARCH 14 - 20, 2026
Six retreats at Gitana del Mar and it still has my heart. Located in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta—known as 'The Heart of the World'—this land offers a magic that is hard to put into words. From the soul-nourishing food to the sacred waters, every moment here is special. I’d love for you to join me this March for an experience you won't forget.

FOOD:
We will have a breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Dietary restrictions will be accommodated.
ACTIVITIES:
Our group can experience a wide variety of adventures from hiking in Parque Tayrona, to visiting a sacred waterfall, enjoying river tubing or horseback riding and massages in the on-site spa. All activities are optional, and are not included in the cost of the retreat.
GETTING THERE:
To reach our sacred spot, your best bet is flying into Santa Marta (SMR) via Bogotá or Cartagena. The resort is just an hour's drive from the airport.
Pro Tip: If you're coming from somewhere other than NYC, check flights into Barranquilla (BAQ). It’s a slightly longer drive (about 3 hours), but it often has fewer connections and the route is incredibly scenic—trust me, the views make the time fly by!
A Note on Transfers: Airfare and transfers aren't included in the retreat cost, but don't worry about the logistics! Once you book your flights, I'll coordinate group transfers so folks can head to the resort together and split the costs.

GREECE RETREAT
AUGUST 14 - 20, 2026
Perched on the stunning island of Lefkada, the retreat villas sit between two breathtaking blue bays of the Ionian Sea—just a five-minute stroll from the beach. This is where high-energy movement meets Mediterranean stillness. We’ll spend our days immersed in a blend of invigorating strength training and soul-centering yoga, all while surrounded by an unforgettable coastal backdrop. Come ready to move, make lifelong friends, and have a damn good time.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
Where do I even begin? Karla's retreat was exactly what I needed, when I needed it. She has such a gift for holding space and balancing the energy of a group. The entire week I was in Colombia with her I felt nurtured, relaxed, empowered, excited and realigned...ready to take on life back in NYC as I returned home. Her retreats are more balanced and dynamic than any I've ever been on or researched - you get to relax, you get to move your body, you get to meditate, you get to eat incredible food, you get to live in a beautiful space, you get to participate in amazing outdoor activities outside of that space if you, and you get to have FUN. It's mindful and intentional without being too serious or rigid. You can't get that at other retreats. It's Karla...she is IT! The experience she creates is unparalleled. Plus, I forged lasting connections with some of the people I met there. I cannot wait to experience my next retreat with her. I invest in myself often...this was by far and large the BEST investment I made all year. - Chelsea L.
Karla holds a magic space for us to come together, to move, to breathe, to connect with ourselves and each other. She magnificently leads us and I left feeling reconnected and relaxed. She has a gift for following the vibe of what the group needs to nourish ourselves. She is unbelievably attuned to the right offering at the right time and is an exceptionally skilled facilitator of all the things that create magic! - Kate L.
After practicing with Karla for a couple of years, I finally decided to join one of her retreats in Jamaica in October of 2022 and by the end of the first day, I already knew it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Outside of traveling for business, it was my first solo trip, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Within a few hours, our newly acquainted group had formed a group text that's still going strong. The beauty of the island was matched only by the beauty of the bonds that were formed. Karla created an atmosphere that was welcoming, supportive, and really, really fun. The schedule of strength-based classes in the morning + yoga in the evening was both energizing and restorative, and truthfully the ideal blend - with plenty of delicious food and conversation enhancing the overall experience. Needless to say, when Karla announced her upcoming trip to Sicily this summer, I was the first to sign up. - Nancy C.
I was lucky enough to go on a retreat with Karla in upstate NY in July 2022. The weekend was the PERFECT mix of relaxing and energizing. There were quiet, reflective moments and fun opportunities to socialize with the amazing group that came together. I was 8 months pregnant at the time so I was a bit nervous about what to expect, but Karla made me feel so comfortable, modified everything and made the experience a true highlight of my pregnancy. The group that came together was so lovely and everyone left the weekend as friends. I can't wait for the opportunity to go on another retreat with Karla -- I only wish it had been longer! - Nicole P.
