Carlsbad Retreats

About Carlsbad
Known as the village by the sea, Carlsbad offers the charm of a European town with the conveniences of a large city. Carlsbad’s perfectly mild climate offers year-round outdoor living. A mecca for activity, no matter what time of day or night, you will spot someone or many moving their bodies to upkeep the vibrant way of life that is commonplace in this area of the world.

Biking, hiking, swimming (ocean and outdoor saline pools), and running trails are all accessible within the village. The City of Carlsbad is committed to preserving open space for its residents and visitors to enjoy the wonders of nature and ensure the excellent quality of life that is so evident amongst the locals.

YogiTriathlete Retreats
From three-day immersions ideal for groups of up to six to a la carte experiences for up to 20 guests, there is something for everyone at a YogiTriathlete retreat. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or seeking a healthier way of living, there is no prerequisite for engaging with us on retreat. Taking respite from the world is becoming increasingly critical in our modern-day mode of living. Stepping away and turning our dials towards joy, health, and well-being are invaluable choices that will continue to pay dividends along your path. You will leave your Carlsbad retreat with a sense of renewal and power over your choices.

All retreats are led by YogiTriathlete co-founders BJ and Jess Gumkowski, with cameos by Clark, the golden retriever, more commonly known as the “Coach of Joy.”
