    Hi! I'm Ruth!

    I have been a Yoga Teacher for almost 10 years and have been running successful, sell out and profitable Retreats for the last 8 years.

    Running Retreats is my absolute PASSION! I love finding venues, planning amazing experiences and spending time with an amazing group of people. I started my Retreat Business at zero & worked hard to help 100’s of guests with their transformation and now I want to share my knowledge with you!

    I’m here to take you behind the scenes on how I run my successful Retreats and show you simple, easy to implement steps to launch, plan and ultimately SELL OUT your Retreats.

    8 years ago I was in exactly the same position as you are now. I took the leap and started running Retreats without any real idea of what I was doing! About 4 years ago I decided that I wanted to share my knowledge with other Yoga Teachers & help them run successful Retreat businesses too!

    I want to fast-track you through everything I learnt over the last 8 years, in just 5 months - saving you time, stress and the headaches of launching your Retreat Business all by yourself.

    Everything I teach on the programme is EXACTLY how I run my Retreat business. These are tried & tested processes that get me sell out results. We start on Tuesday 21st May, are you joining?

  • Imagine...

    • Being able to run Retreats without the fear of them not filling

    • Confidently advertising and selling your Retreat to EXACTLY who needs it

    • People talking about and sharing your Retreats, because they are SO GOOD!

    • Increasing your income, doing something you LOVE

    • Watching your guests evolve and transform

    • Having a WAITLIST of dream guests who really want to join your experiences

    You don’t need to imagine..because this can be your reality in just 5 months on the Confident Retreat Leader Programme!

    What Can I Do With This Programme?

    The Confident Retreat Leader Programme will help you plan, lead and run Retreats (and other events) for your clients, confidently. You can start planning & running Retreats straight away (you don’t have to wait for the course to finish).

    The programme will give you the confidence to scale your business, in a way that feels right for you and your clients and will give you the freedom to plan Retreats at amazing venues, and at a time that suits you.

    You’ll no longer feel the fear of booking a venue and not filling it. The pressure of selling this amazing experience you have created will disappear, because you KNOW it’s exactly what your guests want & need.

    You’ll feel confident & excited that the itinerary you have learnt to create is going to take your guests on a transformational journey, that they will want to come back to again and again.

    You’ll no longer get in your own way of success, because you’ve developed a Retreat Leader Mindset.

    By learning how to avoid making the typical mistakes that inexperienced Retreat Leaders make (I learnt from experience here!), you will have a toolkit of strategies to help you run sold out Retreats, with a waitlist of clients who can’t wait to book again!

    Don’t make the same mistakes I did, 8 years ago! Join the Confident Retreat Leader Programme and use my 8 years of expertise!

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    I’m busy, will this course take up loads of my time?

    Good question! Being a Yoga Teacher & Retreat Leader myself, I know how busy you are! So this programme has been designed with busy lives in mind. Creating a Retreat is a big job, and requires some level of commitment - but if you’re dedicated to making a difference, just a couple of hours study time each week will get you to where you want to be.

    You’ll also notice that following the programme will help you stay on track and focused on what needs doing, rather than wasting your time & feeling overwhelmed!

    What if I Can’t Make The Live Sessions?

    The live sessions will run on a Tuesday 12 12.30pm UK time. The live sessions will be recorded, so you can catch up on the replays at a time that suits you! You’ll have lifetime access to these videos, so you can keep going back if you need them. You will also receive 3 x 1-2-1 sessions with Ruth during the course, these will be scheduled with you directly, so you can use them when you need them most.

    What If I can’t Afford the Programme?

    Payment plans are available - spreading the cost over 6 payments.

    If you implement all the trainings & following the coaching advice, there should be no reason not to make the investment back, on your Retreats (even on a day Retreat!!!) Depending on what you charge, you could easily multiply your investment!

    If you are really struggling with the cost, please get in touch & we can work something out.

    Can I do this programme, even if I don’t have a following yet?

    Absolutely! You can do this training and use the support to find your dream Retreat Guest & start growing your following. The programme will give you a step-by-step roadmap to launch your first Retreat, when you’re feeling ready.

    Do I need any Retreat/event/business experience to join this programme?

    No you don’t! There is no Retreat or business expertise needed for this course - I’m going to give you all the knowledge & skills you need! I had zero Retreat or event planning experience when I started 8 years ago - I was just a Yoga Teacher with a dream to run successful Retreats!

    I’m already running Retreats, do I need this programme?

    This programme will help you deepen your understanding of your dream Retreat guest and help you sell out your Retreats, on repeat. So if you’re looking for a better conection with your community, more income (which you can invest in your business), get paid what you deserve and make an impact on your guest’s lives - you need this programme!
