Sandra Tedeschi leads the retreat. She has a long-held affinity for majestic mountain places and has been taken by the Patagonian landscape and culture since her first visit in 2007.

The yoga session themes are inspired by the striking beauty and exquisiteness of the nature setting in which we practice. Sandra teaches an alignment-based Hatha and slow-flow vinyasa yoga. Some classes are restorative with a yin quality to complement active hiking days. Guided meditation and pranayama (breathwork) are also included.

Most days include a yoga session. We will not have a yoga class on two days when we have a full-day excursion.

All levels of yoga experience are welcome.

Argentina is in the southern hemisphere so the seasons are opposite from North America. February to early March is summer in southern Patagonia. Days can be beautiful with blue skies and average temperatures of 50s-70s F. Nights are cooler. The weather in the Patagonia region can be extreme and unpredictable, so it is essential to be prepared for diverse conditions. Upon booking the retreat, you will receive an extensive information package to help plan for the trip.

The retreat is limited to 16 persons to ensure an optimal group travel experience and personalized attention for each guest. The minimum required to run the retreat is eight persons. Many guests who join our retreats are single/solo travelers. Please feel very welcome to come on your own. It will be an incredible experience!

• Travel insurance is required for this trip.*

A non-refundable US $1,000 deposit confirms your reservation.

Full payment is due no later than November 20, 2025. Should you need to cancel your reservation before this date, you will receive a refund for payment made less the deposit. Should you need to cancel after the final payment due date, for whatever reason, we will not be able to provide a refund, transfer, or credit. The exception is if we can rebook your spot. In this case, the deposit less $175 can be refunded, or we can offer a full credit towards a future Vajra Sol retreat within one year. It is not guaranteed that your spot will be rebooked. No refund or credit will be given for arriving late, departing the retreat early, or for meals/activities in which one does not participate. 

If force majeure (e.g. pandemic, natural disaster, country travel restrictions, etc.) causes a retreat to be canceled, we will offer a rescheduled date for the retreat. In this case, there is no refund of payments when a retreat cannot be held due to causes beyond our control. If you are unable to join at the rescheduled date, a portion of your payment may be applicable for a transfer to a different retreat in the future. This will be determined at the time and depends on factors such as how far out it is from the retreat date.

In the unlikely event Vajra Sol needs to cancel a retreat for non–force majeure reasons, a full refund will be given. Vajra Sol will not be held accountable for expenses incurred by the guest for any type of cancelation.
