Finding Flow

A 7-day yoga & surf retreat on the island of Siargao

May 25 - 31, 2026

the retreat:

This is not your typical yoga retreat — it’s a full-body, full-heart immersion into movement, nature, and the sweet freedom of island life. Set on the lush, palm-covered island of Siargao, this 6-night experience blends daily yoga, surf, exploration, and community into one unforgettable adventure.

You’ll flow through energizing vinyasa each morning in an open-air shala overlooking the ocean, then head out for surf lessons, island hopping boat trips, lagoon adventures, beach club hangs, and plenty of laid-back moments to soak it all in. Whether you’re learning to surf for the first time or diving deeper into your practice, this retreat meets you where you are — and invites you to go further.

We’ll stay at Soultribe Siargao, a beachside retreat haven with beautiful casitas, two shared guesthouses, a pool, and cozy hangout areas. Expect a cacao ceremony, handstand workshop, powerful journaling, local food that’s vibrant and nourishing, and a final night beach dance party with live tribal drummers.

This retreat is for anyone ready to play, move, connect, and break free from whatever’s been holding them back. Come solo or with a friend — and leave feeling fully alive.

The Journey: Island Life in Siargao

Tucked away in the turquoise waters of the Philippines, Siargao is a lush, palm-drenched island known for its surf breaks, saltwater adventures, and laid-back charm. It’s the kind of place where you feel time slow down — where every moment invites you to breathe deeper, play harder, and live more freely.

Our home for the week is Soultribe Siargao, a beachfront sanctuary on a quiet stretch of sand. You’ll wake up to ocean breezes and birdsong, with a quick barefoot walk from your casita to morning yoga in the stunning open-air shala. The property features private beach huts, two spacious shared guesthouses, a pool, chill lounges, a dining pavilion, and hammocks strung between the palms — everything designed to help you unwind and drop into island rhythm.

Throughout the week, we’ll explore the best of the island — from surfing world-class breaks (with lessons for beginners and boards provided), to boat trips through dreamy lagoons, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and stopping at beach cafés and sunset spots that make you want to stay forever.

This is not a retreat where you’ll be confined to one place — it’s a full adventure, with plenty of time to wander, connect, and find your flow in one of the most vibrant corners of the world.

What to Expect

Yoga & Workshops
Start each day with powerful, energizing vinyasa flows in an ocean-view, open-air shala surrounded by palm trees. Classes are designed to wake up the body, drop you into presence, and prepare you for a day of movement and fun. You’ll also dive into specialty workshops — including a handstand/inversions session — plus intention-setting, journaling, and a heart-opening cacao ceremony.

Surf & Island Adventures
Each attendee receives a surf lesson with their own private local instructor, with more surf opportunities on your own throughout the week if you’re craving more waves.
Beyond surfing, we’ll explore the island by land and sea:
Guided land tour through Siargao’s hidden corners and lagoons
Island hopping boat trip with snorkeling and a fresh beach lunch
Beach hangs, shop strolls, and sunset surf watching

Food & Community
Expect nourishing, tropical meals made with love — think smoothie bowls, local fish and meat, fresh fruit, veggies, and hearty plates to fuel your active days. All dietary needs can be accommodated.
Meals are shared in the open-air dining space, with lots of time to connect, laugh, and drop into the magic of the group.

The Vibe
This retreat is vibrant, adventurous, and playful — for those ready to move, explore, dance barefoot on the beach, and let go of whatever’s been holding them back.
We’ll close the week with a sunset celebration and live tribal drummers on the sand. We ran this retreat in 2023 and are still dreaming about it. That's why we're going back!

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”
