Our 
Name

Why Alas?

ALAS, this Spanish word translates to English as  WINGS
And what do wings represent for me and why I chose this name?
Simply put, when I think about wings, I think about FREEDOM. I think about taking flight and being able to escape somewhere I can reconnect with myself, flying high above the ground, away from the everyday distractions. 
So tell me, if you were granted your own wings, where would you go?

Mission


At Alas Events, our mission is to curate transformative yoga retreat experiences that nourish the mind, body, and spirit, leaving participants feeling renewed, inspired, and deeply connected to themselves and the world around them.

Values

​

Authenticity: We believe in authenticity in all aspects of our retreats, from the locations we select to the experiences we offer. We strive to create genuine and meaningful connections with our participants, instructors, and local communities.

​

Mindfulness: Mindfulness is at the core of everything we do. We encourage participants to cultivate present-moment awareness through yoga, meditation, and mindful practices, allowing them to find peace and clarity amidst the busyness of daily life.

​

Inclusivity: We are committed to creating inclusive and welcoming spaces where people of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities feel valued and respected. Our retreats are open to everyone, regardless of their level of experience or physical fitness.

​

Sustainability: Environmental sustainability is a priority for us. We strive to minimize our ecological footprint by choosing eco-friendly accommodations, supporting local businesses, and implementing sustainable practices throughout our retreats.

​

Community: We believe in the power of community to support and uplift one another. Our retreats provide opportunities for participants to connect with like-minded individuals, share their experiences, and build meaningful relationships that extend beyond the duration of the retreat.

​

Empowerment: We aim to empower participants to embrace their innate strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and awaken their potential for growth and transformation. Through empowering workshops, activities, and discussions, we encourage individuals to step into their authenticity and live life with intention and purpose.

​

Joy and Playfulness: While our retreats offer opportunities for deep introspection and self-reflection, we also celebrate joy, playfulness, and spontaneity. We encourage participants to let go of expectations, embrace their inner child, and find moments of laughter and lightness throughout their retreat experience.

​

Continuous Learning: We are dedicated to ongoing learning and growth, both personally and professionally. We continuously seek feedback from participants, instructors, and partners to improve and refine our retreat offerings, ensuring that each experience exceeds expectations and leaves a lasting impact.

​

By embodying these values, Alas Events strives to create retreats that inspire, uplift, and empower individuals to live life with intention, authenticity, and joy.
