Aluma Travels (2024)

Some highlights from our

YOGA + HIKE + WINE TRIP

we challenged ourselves all the way up to Massanutten peak. We laughed, we groaned, someone may have cried, just for a sec, but we all felt so accomplished and thoroughly enjoyed taco 🌮night and margs 🍹afterward!

The next day, after morning yoga and a homemade breakfast, we ventured to a local winery for a tasting and lunch before heading back to our cabin for chili and game night.

This was the perfect Fall weekend we all needed!

Who is wants in on the Spring retreat?!

I just led a trip this weekend and was I reminded of how awesome small group travel is. People who were strangers on Thursday were supporting each other on a challenging hike on Friday, chatting and laughing with each other Friday evening, and hugging goodbye by Sunday. You meet the best people and make lasting connections.

Pastel de nata! 👩🏻‍🍳

These rich custard tarts were invented in Portugal and we can’t wait to eat them over coffee this Summer!

“Pastel de Nata is a bite-sized egg custard tart, encased in light, flaky pastry and dusted with cinnamon before being baked in the oven.”

Let’s eat like a local and wait in line at Pastéis de Belém, a Lisbon institution that has baked and served pastel de natas since 1837! 🤯

Exhausted from the day of travel and sleeping on hot, tight airplanes with one delay (luckily just one hour!) but we adventured to the town of Fiumicino for dinner after dropping our bags and it did not disappoint!

Never mind that we were the first people in the restaurant bc here dinner service doesn’t even until at least 7:30pm! (We were starving and I was tired of airport food :)

22/06/2023

Headed back to Italy tomorrow to lead a sold out trip, followed by a week of leisure before leading another sold out trip to Greece!

I’m passionate about these trips. Small group, off the beaten path, upscale accommodations, carefully curated activities, and the perfect balance of downtime. I hope you’ll come on the next trip!

The Monastery of Hozoviotissa

The Monastery of Hozoviotissa is the second oldest in Greece built in 1017 by Alexius Comnenus as an ode (poem) to the Grace of Panagia (Virgin Mary) which is the patron saint of the island.

To get there we will climb 350 wind worn, ancient stone steps to reach the monastery and enter for a tour where you will take in the breathtaking views of the Aegean See from 300 meters above. You may also leave a token, intention, or prayer for the Grace of Pangia before being met with a sweet treat from the monks who inhabit this architectural marvel!

Dinner at Taverna Panorama
"The BEST Greek food I've ever had!"

Both times I've visited Amorgos we had dinner at this amazing restaurant that is so far off of the beaten path, you are literally the only Americans, or only people, in the place. It was recommended to me by one of the hotel workers, Arta, who said it is her favorite!

We took the short drive to the village of Tholaria, climbed our way up the white, winding stairs, past the church and locals who looked at us with surprise because they do not often see tourists in this part of the island. The owner's daughter was our waitress and showed us the menu they had handwritten in English for us because their menus were only printed in Greek! We ordered one of everything to share family style, shared stories and laughs, and toasted over Ouzo and Raki, the local aperitifs.

I cannot wait to take you to this gem of a place that I have grown so fond of!

According to ancient mythology, King Minos of Crete ruled a second kingdom on Amorgos Island, where remains of the ancient Minoan civilization have been found. This island is where the French filmmaker, Luc Besson, shot some scenes of his famous film, The Big Blue. It is also famous for its wonderful beaches & fine sand, surrounded by huge cliffs, and is ideal for trekking since it is quite small and has impressive wild geography.

Join us for 6 days and 5 nights in Amorgos.

Included:

Breakfast every day
Dinner every night
Most lunches
Daily Yoga
Private Island Bus Tour
(including The Monastary of Panagia Chozoviotissa, Agia Anna and the town of Chora)
Private Yacht Cruise (swimming, sailing, and lunch)

10% discount on all face and body treatments

Shopping! I love shopping in the local places when I travel. Look at all of these magical lights! This is just outside of the souk in Morrocco. I actually hand carried a few back! Let's travel...and shop together!

"A huge thank you. The trip was effortless. It was just what I needed. What a lovely group of people. See you at yoga!" ~Marie

Beautiful places make for beautiful photo ops!

Let's go somewhere beautiful together!

19/12/2022

I always tell my clients, the best places are the hardest ones to get to! I like to go off the beaten path a bit to get somewhere really good!

18/12/2022

In Morocco I had the pleasure of meeting this magical man! He spoke of love and how we are all from the same God. He sells herbs and tea in the night market. I will never forget this evening. The sights, the smells, the sounds, it was all so exotic. I'm thinking it's time to head back!

Feeling ourselves...and this art!

In a fun twist of events, Aluma Travels back to Greece this Summer!

This is my 3rd time leading a trip to the beautiful island of Amorgos and this time I am joined by fellow studio owner, Kelley Sidorowicz of Evolve Yoga & Wellness in Southern MD.

Our trip is 6 days, 5 nights, the perfect length to add on time in Athens (you fly through it anyway:) or to make a stop at one of Greece's other 227 islands!

I am happy to support you as you plan your flights and additional travel and if it is beyond my scope, refer you to my own travel agent.

We have included so much in this trip! Minus 2 lunches it is an all-inclusive experience that is the perfect balance of rest and fun.

This trip will sell out quickly so get in now for early bird pricing!!!

"Thank you of for creating this amazing yoga retreat opportunity in the south of France. I am beyond thankful and grateful for your passion to serve others. Not just with yoga practice, but in personal and mental growth.

I’m so lucky to have a husband that took care of the girls and supports my desire to remain present in life and to grow as an individual, mother, and wife. I also appreciate those that have supported me along the journey. Not just with this trip, but in life. You know who you are! "
