Detox Yoga Retreats: Costa Rica, Belize & Greece Wellness Escapes

Detox Yoga has been running retreats since 2021, and the formula is straightforward: pick a beautiful spot with a pool or a beach, put yoga on the schedule twice a day, feed everyone well, and leave the rest of the time open. The studio has locations in O'Fallon and Wentzville, Missouri, and the retreats are an extension of what they teach at home.

The Costa Rica trip runs June 8-15 and is based at Anamaya Resort in Montezuma. The week includes daily yoga, gluten-free and dairy-free meals, access to an infinity pool, and a group trip into Montezuma for shopping and sightseeing. Optional extras you can book locally include surfing, snorkeling, horseback riding, sea kayaking, massage, and nature hikes — all inexpensive and entirely up to you. Everything is optional, so you can attend as much or as little as you like.

The Belize retreats run February 23-28 and June 10-15, 2025, at Ray Caye, a private island. This one has a detox focus, but the studio makes it clear you can come for the yoga or just enjoy the island — nobody's forcing green juice on you. The island setting means you're swimming off the dock between sessions rather than walking to a beach.

Greece is the biggest trip on the calendar: July 7-14, 2026 (sold out, waitlist available) and September 21-28, 2026, both at the Aegialis Hotel & Spa on Amorgos. The studio bills it as "My BIG fat Greek Retreat," with world-class yoga and meditation, Greek food, and a lot of emphasis on the group hanging out together. The spa hotel has a pool and is built into the hillside above the port of Aegiali.

There's also a two-day wellness retreat in Augusta, Missouri, November 22-23, 2025, at Sunflower Hill Farms, called "Giving Thanks." It's not a yoga trip so much as a reset weekend: nutrient-dense meals, cooking demos, and practical tools for eating better through the holidays. It's aimed at people who want to come home with recipes and habits rather than a tan.

Across all the trips, the through-line is the food and the flexibility. Meals are gluten-free and dairy-free, and the schedule is designed so you're never stuck in a class you don't want to be in. If you've done retreats before where every hour is programmed, this is the opposite.
