Annie currently leads group trips in Mexico, India and Sri Lanka. These yoga adventures emphasize a cultural immersion while learning about and practicing yoga.
In early March each year, Annie co-leads a group of yogis to Yelapa, Mexico, with Wendy Groesbeck. 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. In 2025, Annie will begin to offer an early December retreat to the same location.
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), a cocao ceremony, visit to a botanical garden, and optional hike to a local waterfall. Participants can arrange for superb massage sessions as well.
Annie leads 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 leads a Yoga and Buddhism journey. 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.
