Can every fitness studio run a retreat?

Why are yoga retreats everywhere while CrossFit, Pilates, martial arts, and other fitness communities rarely offer them? In this episode, Harg challenges the common assumptions and argues that the answer has little to do with yoga itself.

Drawing on Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, pilgrimage traditions, and years of hosting more than 400 retreats, Harg explains why leaving home, taking meaningful risks, and gathering in new environments are universal human experiences—not uniquely yogic ones. He explores how every boutique fitness business is already in the gathering business, why retreats create deeper transformation than weekly classes alone, and how they can become one of the most powerful ways to serve your community while growing a sustainable business.

Whether you teach yoga, own a gym, coach CrossFit, lead martial arts, or build any kind of community, this episode will change the way you think about retreats, personal growth, and the future of experiential fitness.
