About us

inward bound yoga retreats was the creative genius of Jane Fryer, who over 15 years ago, saw the need in the marketplaceĀ and from her students, for a company that could take people outside, away from their day-to-day routine to a natural setting, to go “inside” through yoga. For over a decade, inward bound has offered yoga retreat vacations with opportunities to immerse in the cultures of India, Morocco and Burma, world-class spas, tropical beaches, the Italian countryside, European sophistication, meditation, breath work and an array of inspiring yoga styles.

Choose from our 2009 and 2010 schedule of yoga retreats and international yoga tours and empower that choice with the alignment of your own inner desires. We offer an experience that is one-of-a-kind with dedicated and enthusiastic teachers from a variety of traditions. All guides and teachers resonate with Joy Burch, the current owner and director of inward bound, whose vision for inward bound is “to promote the inward journey, integration of work and play, and a sense of freedom* in everyone we meet.”

* “The goal of yoga is nothing less than to attain the integrity of oneness – oneness with ourselves and as a consequence oneness with all that lies beyond ourselves. We become the harmonious microcosm in the universal macrocosm. Oneness, which I often call integration, is the foundation for wholeness, inner peace, and ultimate freedom.” – B.K.S. Iyengar

inward bound wholeheartedly supports two organizations near and dear to our hearts. These are the ASPCA and The Music Festival for Mental Health.
