Release and Rise: A New Year’s Retreat

From January 10 to 17, 2026

Release & Rise is a 7-night soul-renewing yoga and wellness retreat where we can come together in community, reset from the chaos of the holidays, release what no longer serves, and rise into the new year with powerful intentions, clarity, and joy.

Optional spa & excursion bookings available.

About the teachers

Release and Rise: A New Year’s Retreat

Samantha Lawrence

E-RYT 500 & ICF PCC, Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Yoga Nidra, Breathwork, Sound Healing

With over 14+ years in the yoga and wellness industry, I'm thrilled to be hosting another retreat at Xinalani. I'm an E-RYT 500 Yoga Instructor, ICF Professional Coach, Reformer Pilates Instructor, Sound Healer, and Ayurvedic Consultant. I take a thematic approach to my yoga classes and bring experience, empathy, and intention to every retreat, workshop, or class that I host. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy camping or hiking with my family in the mountains in Colorado and enjoying a nerdy Romantasy novel.
