Frequently Pondered Questions

  • 40MoreSummers refers to the number of summers we figure we have left in this life. The name is meant as motivation and encouragement to MOVE, BREATHE, EXPLORE, LIVE & LOVE NOW! As the saying goes “Get busy living or get busy dying.” We’ve chosen to LIVE IT!

  • Our experiences are for EVERYONE! It doesn’t matter what your gender, race, weight, height, flexibility and level of experience is – the practice of yoga is for every single being. New to yoga? We all have to start somewhere and retreats are the perfect space to start and/or grow your practice. Don’t worry about how advanced others may be and remember this journey is yours, take all the time and be patient with yourself. If you are new, let us know so we can make sure our teachers are prepped to assist you.

  • NO! You don’t have to be “good” at anything. What you need is a willingness and enthusiasm for exploration, growth and change. And you’re looking for some FUN, too!

  • Yes!! With us, you’re never alone! Before you go, we are here to guide you and get you prepared as much as possible for this experience.

    We set up a group chat to communicate with one week prior to the retreat to check in and update each other as you start your travel from where ever you may be. We’ll pair you up with a roommate, who will most likely end up being a lifelong friend. You come along with yourself and you’ll end up leaving with a community of like minded people who will forever be connected through this experience.

  • People join us from all over the world – from the UK and many other European countries, the US and Canada, Australia, South Africa just to name a few. We welcome solo travelers – on average about half of the people on our yoga retreats come on their own. As well as couples, friends, siblings – everyone is welcome, and we normally have a variety of ages from 30s all the way to 50s and at times 60s! We’ll plan group dinners and day trips for those who want to join, but also respect people’s space if you need some alone-time, it’s all part of the adventure!

  • We usually host groups of 10-20 people.

  • We have many people joining our yoga retreats on their own – our solo guests enjoy an en-suite double room all to themselves and don’t need to share a room.

  • We’d be happy to arrange this, although most people joining us on their own seem to like their own room. We normally put people in a shared room if they’re traveling together and request it specifically – friends, siblings, couples etc. However, if we do get requests from two people traveling on their own who would like to share, we can put you two in a shared room.

  • We have not included flights into the trip since we have people joining from all over the world. The destinations we travel to have international airports with direct flights from several European cities. In addition, we know that people often like to add destinations before and after their adventure, so

  • Plan to arrive at some point on the first day (the first date mentioned in the dates listed on our website). We’ll have a group dinner that evening to get to know each other and we’ll begin int the next morning. We’ll wrap up the festivities with a closing dinner on the final night and y’all will leave at some point on the next day depending on flights. Check-outs are usually around 12noon, but you can stay at the hotel and use the facilities, pool, beach and spa if you have a later flight.

  • Yes, this is a great way to explore and appreciate the surroundings. Our lodging is typically not available before or after our trips. However, we can give you suggestions on interesting spots to stay and explore. Please contact us to let us know.

  • Yes! Most of our week or longer trips include a Payment Plan with automatic payments once your deposit is paid.

  • We accept all major credit cards and direct ACH payments from your bank account.

    HOT TIP: Utilizing your bank account saves you the credit card fees.

  • If you, or any member of your party, cancel your travel arrangements at any time, written notification from the person who made the booking must be received by us by email at 40moresummers@gmail.com. Since we incur costs in canceling your travel arrangements, the following cancelation charges will be payable by you: if you cancel the experience 91 days or more prior to your Arrival Date, all payments will be refunded, minus the deposit. If you cancel the experience between 90 days and your arrival date: 100% of the payments will be non-refundable. Please see our full Terms & Conditions for details, including if we cancel the experience.

  • To secure your accommodation, we are required to make non refundable deposits to the venues in advance so therefore we need to collect deposits in advance to make these payments on your behalf and arrange all of the retreat inclusions.

  • This is to protect you in case of any unforeseen circumstances both before your trip or during your trip. We recommend purchasing travel insurance as soon as your purchase your flight. In case you have a family emergency and need to cancel your flight, travel insurance should cover you.

  • 60 days before your trip we’ll send you a “Recommended Packing List.” You can also take a peek the “Stuff We Love” section of the site for recommendations on luggage, apparel, tech and much more…

  • Activities are encouraged, but not required. If you’d like to skip an excursion, skip breakfast to sleep in, you want to chill solo or go on your own excursion, that’s totally cool.
