Your People Deserve
More Than Another Fine Event.

You have a group worth gathering properly. A milestone that deserves to actually land. A team that needs something more than a retreat that ends with a slide deck. Rachel has spent nearly two decades building exactly this, for the groups that know the difference. You show up. Your people feel it. Everything else is already handled.

What This Looks Like

Every Group Is Different.
The Standard Never Is.

From two hours in your backyard to a week at a destination property, the scope adjusts to your group. What doesn’t adjust is the quality of what we build.

The Gathering · 2 Hours

Salt Lake City · Private Residence · June

“Twelve women on a back patio in Holladay on a Friday evening. The birthday woman had asked specifically for no restaurants, no toasts, nothing that would just pass. Two hours built around breath and stillness and the particular intimacy that comes from being asked to actually stop. Everyone left quieter, lighter, and more connected than they’d been in years. Three of them came to the studio the following week.”

The Journey · Full Day

Salt Lake City · Private Canyon Property · October

“A technology company brought a leadership team of eight that hadn’t genuinely stopped in two years. Full day at a private property in the canyon above the city: morning practice, a long slow lunch with no agenda, afternoon session built around what surfaced in the morning. They came in scattered and defensive. By mid-afternoon people were having the conversations they’d been avoiding for months. The CEO emailed Monday: ‘I don’t know what you did, but something actually shifted.’”

The Expedition · Multi-Day

Sedona, Arizona · Private Estate · One Week

“Three generations. Twenty-two people from a family that had been trying to gather like this for years but kept settling for long weekends where nothing quite landed. A week at a private property in Sedona: morning sessions on a red rock terrace, evenings around a long table. Rachel built each day’s practice around what the group needed, not an agenda set weeks earlier. The grandmother, in her late eighties, said it was the best week of her life. She meant it.”

The Expedition · International · Mexico

Tulum, Mexico · Private Estate · Five Days

“A mid-sized company brought fifteen people who’d been running hard for two years and had started to lose the thread of why. Five days at a private estate outside Tulum. Morning practice before the heat arrived. Afternoons completely free: the water, the cenotes, hammocks, whatever each person needed to actually rest. Evenings together at a long table under the palms. By day three the dynamic in the room had changed. People were having honest conversations instead of efficient ones. The Head of Operations told Rachel afterward it was the most useful professional development the company had ever done, which was not what they had called it when they booked.”

The Expedition · International · Greece

Koufonisia, Greece · Private Villa · Ten Days

“Eleven women who had been close in their twenties and had spent a decade slowly losing the time and proximity that closeness requires. Ten days on a Greek island: a private villa with a terrace above the Aegean, morning practice at the edge of the world, afternoons in the water, evenings that stretched long and unhurried into the night. By the fourth day something had shifted. Conversations were slower. Laughter was easier. The pace of the group had settled into something genuinely restful instead of performed. They said afterward it was the trip that reminded them who they were before everything else got loud.”

The Problem

Most “Custom” Experiences
Aren’t Built For You.

What gets marketed as private and custom is usually an existing program with your name on it. A travel agency that books the venue but has never led a session. A yoga teacher running their first corporate event, figuring it out in real time. Someone enthusiastic with a rented sound bath bowl and a good Instagram following.

The result is an event that was fine. Polite. Beautiful photographs. And two weeks later, nobody can articulate what changed.

Worse: you managed the whole thing. You spent the day watching the clock, handling the detail that almost slipped, making sure everyone was okay. The experience you were trying to give your people? You were too busy running it to be in it.

Your group deserves someone who has done this long enough to know exactly where things can go sideways, and handles all of it before you ever notice.

“The gathering that almost worked. The off-site that changed nothing. Another polite weekend everyone said was great.”

If you’ve experienced that before, you already know what we’re talking about. This is the alternative.

They Have Been in the Room
When It Goes Both Ways.

Rachel Cieslewicz & Eric Martin · YogaSoul

I have spent nearly two decades leading private experiences, and I know what the difference looks and feels like between an experience that genuinely lands and one that was simply well-organized. I know which details make it. That knowledge is what I bring to every inquiry.

Rachel & Eric

Rachel Cieslewicz, Lead Guide · Yoga Therapist · Eric Martin, Co-Founder · Operations

Rachel designs and leads every YogaSoul private experience from the ground up. The programming, the arc, the pacing, the specific modalities for your group’s particular needs. She draws from yoga therapy, somatic movement, and breathwork to build sessions that meet people where they actually are, not where an intake form says they might be.

She has designed private experiences for families marking milestones, executive teams in genuine need of a reset, close groups of women who needed a specific kind of space to remember themselves, and organizations at turning points. No two have been the same. Each was built to go somewhere specific.

For larger multi-day expeditions, Eric coordinates the full production and logistics so that every detail runs without friction before Rachel’s first session begins. He also contributes teaching in programs where the format calls for it. Rachel leads. Eric makes it possible.

How It Works

Three Steps.
One Experience Worth Remembering.

01

Send an Inquiry

Tell Rachel who your group is, roughly how many people, what you’re hoping they feel by the end, and the general timeframe. That’s all she needs to start. She responds personally, and if it’s the right fit, you’ll know exactly what she can build for you.

02

Rachel Designs It Completely

Location, programming, arc, timing, logistics, every detail specific to your group. Two hours or two weeks, it’s built from scratch. Nearly two decades of this means Rachel already knows where things can go sideways, and handles all of it before you ever notice.

03

Show Up and Be Present

That is your only job. You are not coordinating, watching the clock, or managing a single thing. You are in the room with your people, fully. The experience you wanted to give them? You get to be in it, not running it.

Another event your people will be polite about is not why you came here. The next one can be different.

What Happens After

You Were In the Room.
Not Running It.

This is what it looks like when the experience is built right and you didn’t have to think about a single detail to get there.

For Families

Your family is still
talking about it.

Not recapping what happened, that’s not the part anyone carries. The part they carry is the morning session when someone said the thing they’d been holding for a decade, and the room held it back. You were fully present for that moment. You weren’t watching the clock or managing the catering. You were in it. That conversation is still going a year later.

For Organizations

Something actually
shifted.

Not because someone gave a talk about alignment or handed out a values card. Because people slowed down enough to be honest with each other in a way that the office doesn’t allow. You could see it happening in real time. The way people started listening instead of waiting. That quality of conversation doesn’t disappear when you return to work. Rachel has watched it carry forward from every engagement she’s led.

For Celebrations

The person you gathered
everyone for felt it.

Genuinely celebrated, not just processed through a beautiful venue. The people around them showed up in a way that required something real from each of them. There was weight to it. There was presence. And because you handed the whole experience to someone who has done this for two decades, you were there for all of it, not behind it running logistics.

Scope of Engagement

Built Around
Your Group.

These are scope descriptions, not packages. Every engagement is designed from scratch and priced to reflect what that actually requires. All inquiries begin with a conversation.

Begin the Conversation

Every Experience
Starts Here.

Tell Rachel who your group is, what you’re hoping they feel by the end, and roughly when you’re thinking. That’s all she needs to start. She responds personally. If it’s the right fit, you’ll know exactly what she can build for you, and what it will cost.

The experience you’ve been imagining for your people is not going to design itself. And another year of waiting is another year of the same.
