Mother and Daughter Yoga Adventure Retreat

Leave the screens behind and step into an unforgettable adventure designed for mothers and daughters who crave connection, movement and the outdoors. Driftwood is more than a retreat - it’s a chance to break free, explore and create memories that last a lifetime.

This immersive adventure retreat blends the serenity of yoga/pilates with the excitement of the outdoors. Start your mornings with energizing flows followed by a fresh breakfast. Enjoy hands-on equine workshops, guided hikes through New Hampshire’s pristine landscapes, free time in our hammocks, arts and crafts, a dip in our refreshing pool and jacuzzi before an incredible meal created by our private chef.

Our Equine workshops are a true Mirror of Yourself. Horses are unique in that they don’t see race, color, socioeconomic status, or the letters next to your name. Their ability to see your true self is what makes them majestic. Bri, and her husband Rob, have been running self-reflective workshops that focus on teaching people that the most effective communication relies on our non-verbal actions and personal motivations as much as it does rational thought and speaking. Having been around horses most of their life, they have created a workshop that helps develop the building blocks for successful communication. By guiding you on how to gain a horse’s trust, we are teaching you how to communicate clearly without using pressure or words.  This is a transformational experience for the participant as well as the horse.

The rhythmic wisdom of horses during the day will guide you toward trust and presence as you engage in an equine experience designed to foster deeper connections and self-awareness.

Come nightfall, experience a sound bath our private yoga yurt. A deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to nurture your mind and body.

Whether hiking through the mountains of New Hampshire, connecting with powerful horses or unwinding under the open sky, every moment is designed to push boundaries, refresh your spirit and strengthen your bond.

Horses are unique in their ability to see beneath our conditioning, histories, or personae. These majestic animals offer us direct insight into our deep selves, showing us our habits of self-regard and how we communicate inwardly and outwardly. In our self-reflective workshops, participants learn to practice effective communication through non-verbal actions and embodied alignment. Horses offer profound teaching in how we inhabit our lives.
