Annie Stocker currently leads group trips in Mexico, and has previously led trips to India and Sri Lanka. These yoga adventures emphasize a cultural immersion while learning about and practicing yoga.
In December and March of each year, Annie leads a group of yogis to Yelapa, Mexico. The group stays at an all-inclusive oceanside retreat center, a 10-minute walk along the shore to the sweet and welcoming village of Yelapa. For ten years the Spring retreat was beautifully co-led with Wendy Groesbeck. In 2027, Annie has invited special guest Rosa Vissers, a seasoned yoga instructor at Two Dog and beyond, to teach with her in Yelapa.
A long relationship with this community since 2006 provides a very personal experience with the local culture and families. This retreat features 2-3 daily yoga sessions, Temascal (sweat lodge), visit to a botanical garden, and optional hike to a local waterfall. Participants can arrange for superb massage sessions as well.
Previously, Annie led Yoga and Ayurveda adventures to Kerala, India. Kerala, the Southern-most state of India, offers a wildly diverse and verdant geography to experience wildlife, seaside houseboat culture, and mountain tea plantations. This journey also includes the opportunity to participate in a traditional Ayurveda cleanse called a ‘panchakarma’.
Visiting the magical island of Sri Lanka, Annie has led Yoga journeys. Groups travel to beautiful seaside towns and traverse mountainous landscapes, while visiting ancient and holy Buddhist sites. This journey also offers the opportunity to participate in a 3-5 day meditation retreat.
