Sacred Journeys of the Soul

International Yoga Retreats

At Karma Yoga Center, our retreats are transformative pilgrimages where seekers become soul family, united in the exploration of ancient wisdom and profound spiritual awakening. Each journey — whether to Spain's sacred shores, Greece's mystical islands, Mexico's Mayan temples, or Colorado's healing hot springs — creates an intimate container for deep connection and authentic community.

Leading these sacred adventures are Katrina Gustafson and Michael Shankara, known as "The Shaman & The Mermaid." This dynamic couple brings together decades of spiritual study from temples in India to pyramids in Mexico. Katrina infuses every retreat with bhakti, art, creativity, and profound teachings, while Michael enriches each gathering with live music and masterfully blends ancient spiritual wisdom from his Mayan, yogic, and shamanic lineages.
