At the moment times are a bit uncertain if we are able to travel or if we would even want to be in a big group of people. Therefore at The Yogi Life For Me, we’ve been looking at some great retreats that offer you a full refund after cancellation!
It’s not just that traveling is a bit tricky at the moment, things might happen to you personally. And we all know how expensive a full-on travel insurance cost. Let’s have a look at some great American retreats that you can easily cancel.
Yoga Retreats with Full Refund USA
Yoga Retreat in Texas
Belle Oaks Inn (Prices start from US$ 400)
June and July
This retreat is a great one if you’d like to escape for the weekend. In June and July, they are offering every other weekend a 3-day retreat.
The program itself will be quite full. But of course, it will all be with enriching and relaxing activities. You’ll be meditating, doing yoga and even a cooking class will be offered.
The accommodation itself is absolutely stunning. If you’ve ever dreamed of sleeping in a piece of history then there’s nothing better than to sleep in an old colonial house. Of course, it had a couple of updates like AC to keep you fresh during the hot Texan summer days.
And during the free time you have, you can always choose to get a tan at the pool or have a swim in it. The pool itself has also been designed in such a way that it really fits with this place.
If you decide last-minute not to participate at this retreat, you have up until 24 hours before the retreat starts to cancel completely free. You will get your money back up until the last penny.
Well, the only money you might not see back is the transfer costs on your credit card, but in general, they aren’t that high. At least those costs will be a lot cheaper than getting travel insurance.

Thank you so much for sharing all these 5 yoga retreats. I have been looking to get away and clear my mind at the yoga retreat after this global pandemic is over. But just in case I love that I have the option that I can cancel and get the full refunds. You never know the second wave might come like they speculated.
I live in NYC so the Yoga as a medicine will be ideal for me. Thanks for the review and stay safe!
Hi Nuttanee, yoga as a medicine sounds very good and it’s just a weekend, so easy to fit into your schedule!
quite an interesting review you have here on the five yoga retreats with a full refund when you cancel.. having a yoga retreat helps you in several ways,Yoga being a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India helps you focus on what you literally find difficult to focus on and attain.. it is necessary that at a point or another you should get two take a good yoga retreat
Thank you Evans š
Hello and thank you for that information,
Oddly enough my partner and I were discussing Yoga retreats so reading this has definitely given me food for thought and an ability to perhaps book something without wondering if I would get a refund or not.
There are lots of different ideas in here some of which I had not even thought about in various areas of America. Hopefully we will be able to fly soon so this information will be really good for me coming from the UK.
Thank you again for this timely article.
Oh I really hope you’ll be able to travel soon again Imelda. If not, I’ll be on the lookout for some retreats in the UK for you :).
But for now, be safe!
Great information!! I have never did yoga but it already seems peaceful and great for the body but a yoga retreat seem like it would be paradise, so I really don’t see any reason to cancel unless it’s personal. I now know yoga retreats are all over the world and it’s different kinds of yoga retreats like, Yoga and Vegan Cooking Retreat in Michigan and Yoga and Detox Retreat in Florida.
Well Darnell, at the moment it’s all a bit crazy with the coronavirus. Meaning that at some point you might need to cancel because of flights not going or other reasons. I’m glad to hear that you’d only cancel because of personal reasons though :).
hello
this is quite useful information! some really good options you presented here! unfortunatelly I am not able to go to these events at the moment, but this looks like a great experience and a very enjoyable way to spend some time and learn more about yourself as well as meeting new people with similar interests! š i like the option with yoga and writing, i think that can be very helpful for writers and artists.
Anyway, yoga is always a good choice and the best thing you can do for your body and mind! It surely improves your life in many ways!
