We’ve been curating bucket-list group travel experiences to exotic locations around the world since 2006 when Erica hosted her very first yoga retreat in Costa Rica.

As a yoga teacher and trainer for over 20 years, as well as a published author, she's attracted individuals interested in their personal growth and development (physically, mentally, and emotionally), as well as looking for a community of like-minded others.

So it’s no surprise that our travel groups bring together lighthearted, flexible, open-minded and welcoming, individuals ready to make friends, have fun, and enjoy their lives to the fullest.

Here at IYT, we’ve hosted dozens of trips to exotic locations like Bali, Indonesia; Vietnam; Cambodia; and Thailand…

As well as to classic destinations like the Greek islands, the Tuscany region of Italy, and the south of France…

And what is quickly becoming one of our most popular trips, and growing every year, are our annual river cruises. These all-inclusive trips take us throughout Europe and beyond, sometimes allowing us to visit as many as five different countries in one week, all from the comfort of a floating luxury hotel.

Perhaps even more compelling than the destinations we visit is our growing travel community that has blossomed.

Nobody is a stranger on these trips, and everybody makes friends. More often than not, the people you meet and the relationships you develop end up becoming future travel companions.

It’s probably for these reasons that 69% of our travelers have joined us on more than one trip, and 86% say that, while they haven't yet, they plan to.

Here at IYT, we specialize in boutique small group travel adventures meaning, depending on the trip, we're a group of about 16 guests enjoying anywhere from 3 1/2 to 5-star accommodations. We aim for unique but affordable journeys covering as much ground as possible while leaving plenty of free time to wander and explore. And, while we try to fit an optional yoga class or two into the schedule whenever possible, we don't compromise on the itinerary to do so. The yoga practices, when they happen, are designed to complement the travel experience, not the other way around. 

If it’s unique and memorable life experiences you seek, like swimming with sea lions in Peru; enjoying a mouth-watering meal served by our very own private chef on our very own private veranda in Santorini, Greece overlooking the caldera; enjoying cocktails at sunset in the bush of Kenya; hiking a glacier in Iceland; or kayaking at sunset in Halong Bay in Vietnam…

We’ve got you covered.

Whether you’d like to join one of our curated, escorted group trips, or if you’d like us to manage a group for you (be it a family reunion, girlfriend's getaway, church group, or corporate travel), we’ve got you covered.

But, remember, group travel is our niche, not our limitation. We also curate beautiful honeymoons, family travel, and more.

And while we specialize in river cruises and all-inclusive vacations, there’s no limit to where we can help you go.
