Embody the Wild

Yoga, Somatics & Safari Retreat

T&Cs

A note on safe + brave spaces.

This retreat is rooted in safety. Whether you’ve done years of yoga, somatics or embodiment or you are only just arriving back to yourself, your experience will be met with care. All practices are trauma-led and always invitational. There is never any pressure to ‘perform’ or share beyond what feels safe.

Health, Safety + Visas

I want you to feel informed, empowered, and held every step of the way.

We’ll likely travel as a group, and I’m here to support you throughout your booking process and journey. Once we land in Africa, we’ll be met by an incredible team who will be with us the entire time — from airport pick-up to drop-off.

Below is practical information to help you prepare. It’s not here to overwhelm or scare you — only to ensure you feel safe, ready, and deeply supported.

You are never alone in this process. The wide, wild, expansive lands of Africa are waiting for you.
And if you have any questions at all, I’m just an email away:

This retreat is an intimate, sacred experience — and we can’t wait to welcome you.

“I didn't realise how flat and disconnected from myself I felt before, but over the course of the retreat, I started to feel completely safe, at home, and alive in my body.”

"Giordan created a safe, supportive, and joyful environment, where we did yoga by the pool and danced together under the stars. It was safe to be emotional, silly, messy, creative, funny... I just felt so held and accepted by everyone. The retreat is perfect for anyone who wants to feel more embodied and expansive."
