About SOLshine

Join Matt and Tam for our 3rd annual SOLshine Retreat in Nicaragua. This retreat is unlike other yoga retreats as it lends itself to deep transformational work. Our transformational retreats will encourage you to take a break from winter, step away from your daily life and dive deeper into yourself. This retreat is a dynamic healing experience embodied through yoga, meditation, breathwork, and community. Our retreats offer you a safe container in which we inspire you to shift your awareness which will allow you to become informed by your life experiences rather than defined by them. This year’s retreat includes a very special day outing to Masaya, an active volcano and one of the few places in the world where you can see an active lava lake bubbling. This magical experience often sells out quickly, so if any part of your soul is asking to shine, honor that and join this unforgettable experience.

The SOLshine retreat was such an impactful and powerful experience. I had never been on a yoga retreat before so I didn’t know what to expect. I was blown away by how this retreat was set up. It was so intentional with how they would structure the days. We had the opportunity to take yoga everyday, engage in beautiful and transformative ceremonies, but we also had lots of time for self reflection and exploration.There was no pressure to be with the group 24/7 and there was freedom to go on your own adventures as well as have amazing group experiences.The connections I made on this retreat I will never forget. I cannot wait to go on another retreat with Sol!

If you're looking for a therapeutic experience to soothe your body, soul, and mind, I would 100% recommend a SolShine Retreat with Sol19. I attended their spring retreat to Guatemala and can honestly say it was one of the most life changing experiences I've ever had. Not only was the retreat location gorgeous and the food amazing, but the daily yoga classes were the perfect blend of relaxing and invigorating. Each class was carefully curated and themed based on the elements surrounding us and what the group needed. It was light hearted and spiritually & physically fulfilling. Then came the transformative breathwork sessions with Matt and Tam, which created a conduit for connection for everyone in the group. It was the soul work that we all needed to feel cleansed and renewed in a safe, loving container. The daily outdoor adventures, hikes, and swims made for a magical, holistic journey overall. This is one of the best investments you can make for yourself and your loved ones. And compared to similar retreats, the price point is unbeatable. If you're feeling called, take the plunge, you will absolutely not regret it.

SOLshine retreats are deeply transformational. I find it so powerful to get out of my normal day to day routine and immerse myself in self-study. Tam, Matt, and Taylor create a wonderful blend of self-inquiry, breathwork, meditation, and yoga that facilitates meaningful growth. I have had the opportunity to go on several retreats with SOL 19 and each one has allowed me to come more home to myself. The retreats are powerful and lead to lasting change when you return back to everyday life. One aspect I really love about SOLshine retreats is how the days of the retreat build upon each other as you progress throughout the week. It creates a container where you are able to ground and explore the deeper layers of yourself. I always feel very safe, held, and supported on SOL retreats by the facilitators and community. The offerings are accessible and can accommodate any layer of experience. There is truly something for everyone. If you are ready to connect more with yourself and the beauty of our Earth, this is the place for you.

I have joined the SOLshine retreat twice and both times experienced profound self-discovery and healing. Tam, Matt, and the SOL team care deeply about the retreat experience, which is evident in the thoughtfully designed curriculum that includes a mix of yoga, discussion, a variety of healing modalities, and free time to put your focus wherever it needs to be. Attending a SOLshine retreat is like transporting into an alternate reality where you have all the space you need to work on whatever you need to work on - with a community of yogis who will love you, support you, challenge you, and laugh and cry with you through it all.

This was my first retreat like this, and I wasn’t sure of what to expect. It was so magical and transformative…truly life changing. It went beyond practicing yoga, journaling,seeing cool things, eating amazing food..there was beautiful connections made. Connections to others and Mother Earth. More importantly, a deeper connection to my partner and my inner self. It was exactly what the Universe knew my mind,body, heart and soul needed. The absolute best part for me was the breath work. Where you are able to go so deep that it’s like an out of body experience. To feel empowered by all the elements of that sacred native land made that connection so much more… Tam, Tay and Matt go beyond when facilitating. Their combined compassion, knowledge, love and support really helped make this part of my journey that much more meaningful and beautiful 💖 Ready for the next one!

These SOLshine yoga retreats are some of the few trips I’ve taken where I’ve returned home feeling mentally AND physically healthier than when I left. You can tell that Matt, Tam, Tay and the rest of the SOLshine team truly believe in the power of self work and care about helping everyone through their own journey. My favorite parts of these retreats are the beautiful settings, the healthy and delicious food, the self-reflection, and the physical exercise. If you’re thinking of investing in yourself and going on a SOLshine retreat, go for it. You’ll be happy you did!

The SOLshine retreat was such a transformative experience. I cannot truly describe the magic that was evident for the entire retreat. I formed life long friendships with some wonderful individuals. The breathwork ceremony and space that was created and held for everyone allowed transformation to shine through. I am so excited to continue on my journey of self discovery and am already signed up for the next retreat!
