Sole Yoga Holidays

I have been on several retreats with Shari L Hochberg and each one is absolutely amazing! The entire experience is curated to perfection-from incredible accommodations to fantastic excursions and phenomenal yoga, Shari leaves nothing to chance and manages to execute every retreat with ease and confidence. Shari is personally invested in making everybody feel comfortable throughout the entire retreat--regardless of how experienced you are in yoga or traveling internationally, she will ensure that you have an amazing time. Do yourself a favor and stop thinking about whether you should join one of the retreats--just do it. You won't regret it for a minute.

My retreat in Positano with Shari was FIVE STARS! I can not recommend a retreat with her enough. Everything was planned perfectly — she is clearly an experienced professional. The yoga classes were perfect and the group dynamic was better than I could have ever hoped for. Her description of what to expect on the retreat was extremely accurate. I am so grateful that I trusted to sign up for this retreat because it was one of the best experiences of my life! Thank you Shari!!!

Hi everyone, and Dear Shari, How can I find the words to say how great was this retreat? Everything was just perfect: food at La Selva, the atmosphere in the yoga group, you Shari so friendly and sweet, our laughs... and the cute puppies and animals at La Selva with our hosts Marta, Cristiano and Antonino. Now when I look at the sky at night, I know that everyone of us remember this amazing yoga retreat just looking at the Venus star we saw every night in the sky of Positano! thank you so much Shari (and everyone!). greetings from France (Cécile)

Shari's Manifestation Retreat was a perfect remedy for my winter blues. This was my second retreat with Shari, so I knew that all I had to do was show up and she would take care of the rest. Our accommodations were gorgeous, the private art tour was amazing, the wine tasting and yoga were perfect, and our calligraphy lesson with Betty Soldi was magical. My experience was enhanced by my fellow participants...what a wonderful group of kindred spirits. If you are like me, a solo traveler looking for unique experiences, I highly recommend Sole Yoga Holidays, you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Shari L Hochberg for sharing 'your' Florence with us.

I had the most amazing experience with Shari in March 2019 at her Florence retreat. I am also an expat that lives in Italy and as a mom with a toddler, I desperately needed rest and a good refresh. Shari's program was perfect. Not only was it insightful, creative, and mindful, I connected with other participants in a way that brought even more to my experience. I absolutely adore Florence and seeing through Shari's eyes and the vendors she selected to participate in the program made it that much more special to me. I can't recommend Shari's programs enough.

What an amazing experience. I was looking to try something different but I knew I wanted to go on a yoga retreat and also travel abroad. A family member of mine had told me what an amazing country Israel was. The trip to Israel was unbelievable and I felt it was exactly what I was looking for and what I needed. I truly met some amazing people and had a fabulous time. It was relaxing, adventurous, and every moment was special and unique. It was honestly one of the best trips I have ever been on. I went alone and would do it again in a heartbeat. Shari you are amazing and are truly gifted! Thank you for what you do and bringing people together on such a global scale for such a memorable experience. Israel is beautiful and such a special place.

Having just returned from the Israel retreat I am still buzzing from such an amazing experience! Not only did I get to practice daily yoga with the most awesome group of new friends, but the sights we got to see were truely a once in a lifetime experience. I learned so much history, religion, politics, culture it was such an eye opening week and a privilege to have been lucky enough to visit such iconic locations. The contrast between Tel Aviv & Jerusalem made it such a varied trip I feel we got a bit of everything... relaxation, pampering, city life, markets, desert, historical sights... one highlight doing yoga at the Dead Sea (after covering ourselves in mud for beautiful skin!)... definitely a holiday I will treasure for the rest of my life. Shari... you were truely amazing and totally made the trip what it was... thank you! ??

The magical Morocco trip was truly life-changing. From start to finish, Shari planned out a one of a kind experience including fresh, amazing food; a unique, personal shopping experience and high-quality, personalized yoga. I tend to become overwhelmed with shopping however I felt so empowered and excited! I credit this empowerment to Marlene for her expertise and Shari for organizing the shopping experience with Coco Morocco. I now have a beautiful rug for my home that will remind me of this trip! I’m someone who is very critical of yoga instructors and Shari is one of the best. She’s knowledgeable of the body, and demonstrates a genuine interest in every person. As someone whose job includes giving to others on a daily basis, it was wonderful to have someone personally invest in my health and strength. I became so strong (mentally and physically) in just a week thanks to Shari! I also went on this trip with one of my best friends. Not only did I deepen a beautiful friendship with my travel buddy but I gained a new friendship as well! I’m already scheming when I can go on another Sole Yoga Holiday retreat with my friend, her husband and my boyfriend. Sole Yoga Holidays is unlike any other yoga retreat out there. Shari creates customized, adventure based experiences that are personalized and enrich your soul.

Shari provides destinations that as an independent and frequently solo traveller would be do-able, but not nearly as much fun as with a group of fellow yogis from all around the world. From the moment you land at the airport, you are taken such good care of and you can be sure that the accommodation, (Shari handpicks each one), at each destination will always be the most authentic, comfortable and best quality available. In short, if the destination appeals, do not hesitate to join her group, you will love it.

The Zanzibar retreat is one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life. Working in the humanitarian field, I was in desperate need of rest and relaxation. Shari was so helpful leading up to the retreat, making sure I had all the info I needed for seamless travel. When I arrived at Casademare, I was truly in paradise. The facilities were absolutely stunning and so comfortable; the staff were so warm and welcoming; the food was out of this world, with delicious fresh and healthy seafood, fruit, etc; the yoga was at the perfect level, with Shari being sensitive to everyone's injuries and abilities (she even helped to fix a tight shoulder and some lower-back issues I was suffering from); and the company was truly inspiring, with great conversation and so much fun and laughter. This was exactly what I needed and, while I will be sad to go, I am re-charged to continue my work and know that I have strengthened my yoga practice and met some kindred spirits who will be friends for life, with memories that will always make me smile.
