Bigger Life Adventures

I absolutely loved this retreat! Everything about it was fabulous. The yoga classes were top knotch, there was instruction for all levels. Carrie is a wealth of knowledge, from asanas to meditation, to yoga philosphy. She facilitated the group with great care and a lot of love. The retreat center where we stayed was beautiful, well taken care of and super comfortable. The group of folks were wonderful, we all became good friends through the experience together. The nature activities we did were super fun and being in Costa Rica was great. It's a beautiful country, with nice people, everyone treated us well. All our activities were well organized and filled with joy and adventure. I highly recommend attending a retreat with Bigger Life Adventures. I'll be joining them again for sure.

The mix of yoga and hiking. Learning yoga philosophy and Ayurvedic class.

This experience for me was beautiful. It is my first camping, but it was incredible. It exceeded my expectations, many activities that it is the first time in my life that I did. the hiking was very good, the yoga, the meditation, the healing experience with sounds and the sauna with Rogelio everything was absolutely amazing ohh and the food delicious… thanks for everything guys and of course I would go with you to other retreats and 10000000% recommended.

This was my first yoga retreat experience and it did not disappoint. Carrie, Zach and Sydney made everyone feel welcome, and were very attentive to our needs. The yoga and meditation offerings were varied and diverse. And I enjoyed it all. They showed us both Sedona and the Grand Canyon, and are very knowledgeable about the area. The retreat site is beautiful, providing privacy and community. Zach provided excellent vegetarian/vegan meals.

I just returned from a four-day yoga, hiking, and nature retreat with Bigger Life Adventures. I'm so glad I attended this retreat! Carrie's yoga classes were fun and created space for individual exploration, rejuvenation, and reflection. I especially benefited from new techniques shared in the guided meditations, which I've already begun incorporating into life back home. Hikes and swimming in Sedona and the Grand Canyon were well-paced, engaged all senses, and explored breathtaking landscapes. Zach is an outstanding chef - every meal was fresh, creative, and plentiful.

The retreat camp is set in the mountains with stunning views, especially of sunrise. Each campsite is well-spaced for privacy, but there is still a wonderful sense of community that you can enjoy during meals, yoga class, hikes, etc..

I recommend this trip to anyone looking to reconnect with themselves.

It seemed to be a little bit out of my comfort zone, but I decided to try it anyway, and I am glad I did. It was a unique experience with a good group of people. The hiking was great, as was the yoga (and also the food). I went by myself, and that worked out well. I had a roommate who was great. There was a wide range of ages, with both males and females. I would definitely do it again.

The retreat was a safe environment to explore and learn new practices. The hosts were very accommodating, the food was delicious and wholesome, and the environment was nourishing.

The whole environment - excellent yoga - great

hiking and the people vibes.

Massage was the best ever - sound therapy was amazing

Loved the combination of Yoga and hiking. The team is great and the retreat offers lots of opportunities to learn and relax in a secluded location. It lets you focus on yourself!

I love the combination of hiking yoga nature new experiences in meeting wonderful people. I felt rejuvenated and refreshed and ready to take on life. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! I highly recommend it.

Group was marvelous, thanks for a phenomenal weekend! Food fabulous, thanks Zach. Assistance before, during and after the retreat was more than expected thanks Carrie. Extras, Sydney Kleis thank you. I feel rejuvenated, inspired and grateful perfect retreat.

I greatly appreciated the transparent approach to educate guests on what to expect. The accomodations were remote and allowed for a deep dive into inner awareness. Despite the monsoons, Carrie and Zach were gracious and made adjustments to the schedule as necessary. There was a a process of letting go involved in the ebb and flow of it all. I hope to return in the future.

I found the entire experience to be care-free. Carrie & Zach made sure everyone was well fed, well hydrated, & most importantly well relaxed (: The outdoor shower is beautiful under the stars, the yoga deck is beautiful to find your flow. The yurt accommodations were as expected, but the meals were beyond expected.

The scenery at the retreat was beautiful.

The food is so delicious!

The experience was magical for our group. We all came with different intentions, but left with those intentions filled beyond expectations!

The trip was effortless. They planned everything from food, hiking, activities, yoga, meditation.

This was my first yoga retreat. I left wanting to book another experience with Carrie and Zach!

Carrie and Zach make such a good team! They each make a point to get to know you, they each have their specialties that make this retreat so special, they each have the ability to make you feel comfortable and confident in your own personal abilities. Overall, they balance each other out very well and make wonderful hosts. In just 2 “full” days we hiked the Grand Canyon and experienced the vibrant vortex of Sedona. We even went to an off grid natural spring that was just what the doctor ordered after 2 days of hiking. On top of seeing some of the most beautiful landmarks of Arizona, Carrie is an AMAZING yoga instructor and provides the perfect environment to get as deep into your personal practice as possible. Zachs cooking skills are BEYOND what I expected and I am even inspired to eat more vegan meals at home! This is the most nourishing, inspiring, rejuvenating retreat one could ask for. From the location, to the company, to the food, to the excursions. Just perfect!

Zach and Carrie created a wonderfully peaceful place and a perfect retreat of balance. The yurts were placed far apart to have private time but the yoga platform and dinner table brought our group together and created a nice community and great conversations. I loved the balance of active hikes, downtime, and yoga customized to the need of the group for that day. Carrie is really skilled at figuring out what kind of yoga practice and meditation are appropriate for the day depending on the activities we had or what lies ahead of us. We got to have one hike with Zach and one with Carrie which gave us the opportunity to learn from each of them about the places we visited and their flora and fauna. Zach treated us to delicious and beautiful food every day that was made with thoughtfully selected nutritious ingredients. We even got to try some wild mushrooms he harvested in one of our incredible dinners. I loved the portions which were small but always enough and there was food for seconds if anyone wanted it. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of providing a cleaning solution to wipe off the restrooms after using them and loved taking showers under the stars and out in nature in the private but partially open showers. I found their place and retreat the perfect balance of simplicity and luxury. The grounds and tents are simple with beautiful views, inviting and comfortable furnishing, but the experience is luxurious with wonderful food, grand adventures, and exceptional guides.

Beautiful setting where nature is the protagonist. Carrie and Zach are the type of teachers that lead by example in an atmosphere of respect to everything yoga represents. The result? An awakening of the senses to nature, healthy food, yoga and real human connection. It is refreshing to find such an authentic couple offering the wisdom they have found through their yoga journey in such an inspiring way!

I will definitively recommend this to anyone needing to reconnect to the nature their body and mind. It was a beautiful place in the nature and the yurt was so comfortable and clean. I am grateful to Carrie and Zach to have take care of everything. The food was so so delicious and healthy. The hiking activities was such a great in Sedona, in Forest and in this gorgeous Grand canyon. I will never forget.

Adding to that as a beginner I discovered so many things for the yoga and also for the meditation. I have participated for the first time to spiritual and healing activities that make me feel so so good in the sweet lodge, with the healing sounds, and in the ice bath. Thousand thanks to the group also which was such great funny and inspiring group.

Carrie and Zack are a wonderful team. I loved everything about the retreat! The yoga and meditation program were perfect for all levels and provided many useful tools for my home practice. The food was delicious and always an exciting part of our days. They provide a comfortable, open space to be vulnerable and grow! I have already booked another adventure with Carrie and Zack!
