Namibia

return to the wild

An unforgettable 7-day retreat to reconnect with nature, intuition, and your truest self

September 20 - 26, 2026

the retreat:

Step into the magic of Namibia — where vast skies, ancient landscapes, and untamed wildlife invite you to slow down, tune in, and remember what’s real.

This is not just a yoga retreat. It’s a soul journey. Hosted at Our Habitas Namibia, a secluded, design-forward luxury lodge set on 50,000 hectares of private savanna, this experience brings together world-class hospitality, immersive cultural experiences, and deep, embodied presence. It’s the ultimate blend of safari adventure, grounded spiritual practice, and meaningful human connection.

Each day will offer the perfect rhythm: sunrise yoga overlooking the bush, nourishing meals crafted from local ingredients, meditative nature walks and safaris, guided journaling and breathwork, and plenty of time to reflect, reset, and reconnect — to nature, to community, and most importantly, to yourself.

You’ll also experience the richness of local Namibian culture through tea ceremonies, storytelling, music, and stargazing under one of the clearest skies on Earth. Everything — from the guided programming to the thoughtful design of each luxury suite — is curated to bring you back to presence and remind you of the beauty of simply being alive.

Whether you’re craving spaciousness, clarity, or the adventure of a lifetime, Return to the Wild is your invitation to become who you’re meant to be — grounded, whole, and wildly free.

The Journey

Welcome to Our Habitas Namibia — a five-star eco-safari lodge set on 51,000 hectares of untamed savanna, where the rhythm of nature guides your days and the energy of the land invites you to return to what’s real.

This is not just a retreat — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You’ll stay in one of 11 luxurious private safari casitas, each designed to immerse you in the landscape with sweeping views, earthy elegance, outdoor terraces, and curated interiors that blend comfort with soul. Every detail is intentional, from the organic textures to the panoramic windows that frame the golden plains.

Each morning begins with movement and meditation on a stunning open-air yoga platform, surrounded by acacia trees and the sounds of the wild. When you’re not practicing, you’ll lounge by the infinity-edge pool with a fresh juice or glass of local wine, enjoy farm-to-table cuisine infused with Namibian flavors, and rest deeply in your private sanctuary under star-filled skies.

This is a place to slow down, to reconnect, and to feel the full magic of being alive. With safari adventures, cultural immersion, and Present Practice’s signature approach to embodiment, presence, and self-inquiry woven throughout — you’ll leave not only inspired, but transformed.

What to Expect

This retreat is where adventure, luxury, and deep inner connection meet. Each day is designed to help you reconnect with yourself and the world around you — through presence, nature, movement, and awe-inspiring experience.

We’ll begin most mornings with yoga and journaling on the open-air platform, overlooking the Namibian savanna as the sun rises over the plains. From there, you’ll spend your days safely and comfortably exploring the wild through curated experiences, both expansive and intimate.

Here's what students

have to say:

  • Anaya Cruz

    “I have been on a number of retreats with Morgan, and they never fall short of amazing. You don’t have to worry about a thing. I show up to a foreign country and know that Morgan has everything planned down to a T. I brought my fiancé along with me the last time and he insists on going on an annual “Morgan trip” now because of how great our experience was! Morgan is also a wonderful human, who is extremely knowledgeable in her practice. I would take her classes daily if I could!”

  • Snipta Mallick

    "Exceptional teachers have the remarkable ability to lead and shape our personal journeys, especially when it comes to something as personal as yoga. Attending Morgan's Siargao retreat was an unforgettable experience. She brought together an incredible group of yogis, fostering a sense of community and growth that was truly transformative. Encountering a teacher of her caliber is rare; Morgan’s gifts lie not only in her teaching prowess but also in her remarkable ability to hold space for her students. She not only teaches the importance of presence, but she exemplifies it in every aspect of her being!”

  • Ashley Murphy

    "I have practiced yoga for about 8 years, but finding Morgan changed everything for me. I left feeling so calm, centered, challenged, and eager for more. The way she incorporates the asana with the breath and ties in yoga philosophy is pure magic and like nothing I have ever experienced. Her classes have taught me so much, especially that yoga is more than just the physical body. I have wanted to get my 200 hour YTT for many years and after taking her second class I knew I wanted to learn from her. Morgan not only embodies the practices of yoga on the mat, but off the mat as well. She is genuinely one of the kindest, most humble souls I have ever met and has so much love for her students. Between all of her classes, events, and retreats, she has built the most incredible community of yogis. I have made some of my closest friends through this community, and I am forever grateful for Morgan and all of the gifts she has brought into my life.”

  • Amanda Addison

    "I first started taking yoga with Morgan in 2020, and I will always keep coming back for more! From retreats in beautiful Guatemala and Costa Rica to classes right here at home in Austin, Texas, her dynamic sequences and serene attitude create a beautiful experience that always leaves me feeling better than when I came in. Her depth of knowledge and skill in yoga has helped me to grow and feel empowered in my practice. Morgan's beautiful energy shines through in all that she does!"

  • Sydney Lineberry

    "Morgan is just the best. I have taken her classes whenever I am in town for years now. I cherish any chance to practice with her - she makes yoga such a beautiful experience and is able to reach all skill levels in the same class, providing opportunity for challenges for those wanting them, while making others feel comfortable to own their limits. She cues at the perfect moments and allows students to get lost in their flow. Her retreats are INCREDIBLE - I went to her Banff, Canada and Lake Atitlan, Guatemala retreats and they were the perfect reset. She is gifted at bringing together wonderful groups of people, and we practice yoga, explore a new country, and eat incredible food. It's a full week of self care! She is the real deal and lives her life practicing what she preaches. A beautiful soul inside and out."

  • Mike Hanson

    "'Magic is happening,' Morgan responded. It was a day after her half day yoga retreat, and I was feeling inspired. It truly is hard for me to describe how special that day was, a deep connection with people I had only just met. One of Morgan’s truest passions seems to be in bringing people together, and to help us find our truest self, though doing so modestly — sharing healing wisdom, humbly, with credence and reverence given only to the practice itself.”

  • Tyler Beattie

    “I originally began practicing yoga to alleviate a back injury, causing me to fall in love with the physical aspect of it. It’s truly the perfect companion to any other physical discipline. However, a whole new world of yoga opened up when I began to take Morgan’s class. She was the first teacher that introduced me to yoga philosophy and the idea of moving meditation. Since then, my practice has advanced significantly and I began to read and explore more yoga/zen philosophy. Morgan is truly my favorite teacher and I will forever be a student of hers. When she announced her 200-hour teacher training in Bali, I was one of the first to sign up.”

  • Katie Messer

    "Morgan is so special. She exudes warmth, pours her heart into her practice and is a master of her art. I have never met such an authentic, compassionate yoga instructor. She has the ability to make you feel like the only person in the room all while being a part of something much bigger. Her flow is intentional and is the perfect blend of effort and ease. I used to view yoga as a workout and would even leave before shavasana pose, but with Morgan’s guidance I now view yoga as a practice, more importantly a lifeline. So naturally when she announced her YTT retreat in Bali I immediately signed up! I always wanted to elevate my practice and couldn’t think of a better teacher and someone I trusted to lead me on that journey. She has made me a better person and for that alone I have so much gratitude and love for her. xo”
