Guided by Stillness, Moved by Nature:
Join me, Sara, for a transformative 5-day journey into self-inquiry, gentle yoga, and reflection—set against the rare beauty of the Galapagos Islands
January 28 – February 1, 2026
Catamaran Nemo II – North Itinerary
Hi, I am Sara Grossman—an experienced ERYT-500 yoga teacher, trauma-informed practitioner, and lifelong student of mindful movement. In 2024, I was fortunate to join a retreat led by Adriana Montano with Yogalapagos—an experience so powerful, I knew I wanted to return. That’s how this retreat was born.
This is not just a yoga retreat. It’s a space to slow down and truly arrive—in yourself, and in one of the most untouched natural environments in the world.
Whether you’re new to yoga or well along your path, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are. Each day, I’ll guide you through accessible movement practices, mindful breathwork, and reflective journaling prompts. We’ll also have time for shared silence and stargazing under the southern sky.
The Galápagos Islands are a sacred place of evolution, mystery, and quiet wonder. I can’t wait to share this deeply personal journey with you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
🧘 Yoga & Meditation:
Enjoy daily practices designed to reconnect you with your breath, body, and inner rhythm. Sessions are all-levels, and grounded in presence and accessibility.
🌿 Nature & Exploration:
The Galápagos Islands provide the perfect backdrop for introspection, relaxation, and spiritual renewal.
🛥️ Life Aboard the Nemo II
Live aboard a comfortable catamaran with only 13 other guests. You’ll sleep in cozy cabins, dine on locally inspired meals prepared by our chef, and awaken each day anchored at a new island.
✨ Quiet Moments
No retreat is complete without space to simply be. Lounge on the deck under the stars, write in your journal at sunrise, or enjoy conversation with fellow travelers over dinner.

The water around the Galapagos is generally calm however it can get rough when the cold Humboldt Current arrives in July through September. If you are prone to seasickness we suggest you contact your physician prior to departure and ask whether medication, patches or wristbands would work best for you.
There is a basic first aid kit onboard for minor ailments however the boat is not equipped to handle serious medical conditions. Passengers are required to obtain medical insurance that covers medical emergency evacuation.
Purified drinking water is available on board and a refillable water bottle is provided.
There are 110V electrical outlets in the cabins using the North American style plugs, with two flat blade prongs. If you are planning on taking a video or digital camera we suggest you take an extra set of charged batteries.
The staff and crew appreciate gratuities. In fairness to all and to make your cruise more enjoyable tips are collected at the end of the voyage and distributed among the crewmembers and the guide. Although we leave the amount to your discretion, we suggest a rate of USD$8-$10 per passenger per day while on the boat.
Due to the cabin sizes on the yachts and the weight restrictions that airlines enforce 20 kgs per person, the amount of luggage you can bring on the boat is limited. You can leave unnecessary items in your joining hotel storage room in Quito.
Aside from your arrival and departure day into the Galapagos, there are approximately 2 island landings per day; each taking around 4 hours.
