Traveling for a yoga retreat is sort of like going to a friend’s birthday party with a pinata. When the pinata breaks open there is all sorts of stuff that comes out. Most likely though, you are bound to walk away from the pinata, or the scramble on the ground to get the goods, with some things you like.

Yoga retreats bring many different types of people together. We all attend for various reasons. Maybe it is our teacher who is leading the retreat, maybe we need a change in our lives so we travel some place hoping for a spark of inspiration. No matter what your reason is, you meet all sorts of people. I have been extremely lucky in my yoga travels to have met some incredible people. If you are lucky enough you leave with some amazing new friendships.

Danielle Begg lives in Mosman, New South Wales Australia. Mosman sits just inside the entrance to Sydney Harbor. Australia in general has always captivated my attention. I did numerous dioramas on geography or animals throughout elementary school. Danielle was the first real life thing I had met from Australia though.

Danielle is immediately friendly and seemed to always be laughing, smiling, and talking to everyone the whole time we were in Costa Rica in 2019. It is no surprise that she is making a huge impact on the world through yoga and more specifically through her co- creation of The Yoga Impact Charity. I am a true believer in the impact that a proper yoga practice can have on one’s life so as I have, learned more about Danielle’s work, she has continued to inspire me.
