Cool places.
Great people.
Some of our favourite moments happen when we step outside the everyday. Think new places, meaningful connections, movement, laughter and room to just be.

You don’t have to be a retreat person.
You don’t need to have been on a retreat before. You don’t need a perfect yoga practice (or any yoga practice for that matter!) You just need a little curiosity about what happens when you give yourself space to breathe, meet new people and try something different.
Sometimes that looks like yoga surrounded by jungle. Sometimes it’s a conversation over breakfast, a moment of courage in front of the camera, or a laugh you didn’t see coming.
Two sisters. One big, beautiful idea.
Alongside More Joy Wellness, Brittany co-founded Joy et Mare with her sister Michele — a photographer and empowerment coach. Together, they create experiences that weave movement, travel, photography and connection into something a little different.
Brittany brings yoga, mindful movement and a love of exploring the world. Michele brings her camera, creativity and a gift for helping people feel seen. Their retreats are designed with care, but with plenty of room for the unexpected.
This is where our global retreats live. If you’d like to explore the experiences and stories behind them, come say hello.

The quiet ones, the brave ones, the wildly joyful ones — and all the little moments that turn strangers into friends.
A few words from our retreat community.
“Everything is so inviting and calm that it makes you able to open up and learn things about yourself.”
“I’ve never done international travel before, and Brittany and Michele did a really good job at making you feel comfortable.”
“I think it’s a lot easier to come up with a million reasons not to do it than it is to just take the chance on going. Sometimes you just gotta let go.”
“It’s been a once in a lifetime experience…everything has been amazing.”
Words shared by guests from our 2026 retreat.
