10-Day Wild Truth: Namibia Yoga Safari

Retreat Highlights

• Yoga and a return to the self in Namibia’s vast landscape: Experience Namibia’s deserts, coastlines, and wildlife while weaving yoga and mindful movement into the journey. Along the way, you’ll be guided through a practical toolkit that helps you remember who you are, recognise patterns, and reconnect to a story you can actually live, not perform.
• Sossusvlei Adventure: Walk barefoot across the sands of the world’s oldest desert. Towering red dunes, endless skies, and the stillness of Deadvlei create a backdrop unlike anywhere else. For the adventurous, climbing Big Daddy offers a breathtaking perspective. For all, the desert’s grounding energy invites you to slow down and feel the timeless rhythm of the Earth.
• Skeleton Coast Expedition: A place of mystery and wild beauty, where rolling dunes collapse into the crashing Atlantic waves. Here you can choose your adventure: drive across dune fields in a 4x4, try sand-boarding or fat-wheel biking, kayak alongside playful seals, or join a marine safari to spot dolphins. The Skeleton Coast is raw, exhilarating, and unforgettable.
• Spitzkoppe: Known as Namibia’s “Matterhorn,” these granite peaks rise dramatically from the desert floor. Explore ancient Bushman rock engravings and witness a sunset that paints the boulders gold. In this sacred space, we’ll unroll our mats and practice yoga under the open sky - a moment of stillness and reflection amidst millennia of history.
• Wildlife Thrills in Etosha National Park: One of Africa’s great wildlife sanctuaries, Etosha offers encounters with elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes, cheetahs, and more than 300 bird species. Each game drive brings the thrill of discovery and the reminder that we are part of a vast, interconnected web of life.

Alana

Alana is a trained vinyasa teacher (2013), and has studied the biomechanics of chronic illness and injury, as well as trauma-informed yoga for 4 years at the Yoga Therapy Institute Netherlands (2022–present). She is a Reiki practitioner (2000), has studied fascia release through Tom Bowen (2013), and continues to study neuroplasticity through the work of Dr Robert Melillo (2021–present). She is also a strategist and senior conceptual copywriter with over 15 years spent working on big brand campaigns, but mostly human-led narratives for founders, business owners, and leaders. After a really bad burnout, she realised that it was necessary to bring all the pieces of her together. She was done hiding or trying to fit into a mould. Her toolkit, The Aligned Leader's Companion, is an extension of her own journey. Her work with clients is all about empowering them to know themselves and strategically showcase their unique value. The elevator pitch line she uses is this: she helps leaders uncover who they truly are so they can express their distinctly human value, and show up with clarity under pressure.
