Giana Gambino and Bradshaw Wish of CAYA Yoga School join me this week to talk all things yoga retreats! These two have come together to create a dream-team when it comes to retreats -- they offer several domestic and international retreats per year (look for their 2025 retreat in Italy) and they've honed their process. They generously share all of their secrets in this conversation. We cover:

• How they split the workload (and the payout)
• Planning itineraries vs. farming them out
• Their marketing/sales calendar
• What goes into pricing (and what you might be forgetting)
• The food! (the thing participants often complain about the most)
• Funny retreat snafus and how they handled them
• Why you should never put a charcuterie board out if Bradshaw is on retreat with you

You can get to know Giana and Bradshaw better on their podcast A Funny Thing About Yoga

I'll put links to their retreats and yoga school on the shownotes page here: yogalandpodcast.com/episode332
