The Connected Couple Yoga Retreat:
Restore Balance & Compassion in your Relationship
Thursday, February 12 - Sunday, February 15, 2026
Join us Valentine’s weekend 2026 for a lovely time of renewal and intention for you and your partner.
Ayurveda means “the science of life” and is an ancient Indian system of medicine focused on maintaining balance within the body’s energies to prevent and treat disease and promote wellness.
This retreat will build on those teachings as they relate to our relationship with ourselves and with our partner, offering valuable insights into understanding and nurturing these two important relationships.
Every retreat booking gets a FREE VIRTUAL YOGA MEMBERSHIP to The Bridge for each month leading up to the retreat! The sooner you register, the more time you get to practice with us!
Meet Your Hosts | John and Dr. Kelli Sammis
Dr. Kelli Sammis
John and Kelli Sammis, founders of The Bridge Yoga, have built their marriage and day-to-day relationship on the principles of
Yoga and Ayurveda. This has allowed them to understand themselves and each other in ways that cultivate respect, honesty, compassion, and health in all aspects of their life together.
Kelli has decades of experience in coaching and leading others in contemplative practices so that they are able to discover their own pathways toward JOY and CONTENTMENT in their lives. The 8-limbed path of Yoga and the principles of Ayurveda are the foundation for how she moves through her life, in her relationships, and through the world. She has studied under Deepak Chopra, davidji, Roger Gabriel, and Janet Stone, and is committed to creating curriculum, content, and experiences that help others find purpose and intention in their lives.
Kelli and John have relied on these principles since the beginning of their relationship, and it’s upon that foundation that they opened The Bridge Yoga Studio in College Station TX in 2021.
In 2024 John decided to bring these teachings into his own personal study and practice, which is what led him to enrolling in their studio’s 200-hr Yoga Training.
With these teachings as cornerstones of both of their lives, they are committed to walking alongside other couples who are curious about restoring health, balance, compassion, and overall well-being to themselves and to their relationships.

What's Included
The Connected Couple Yoga Retreat offers just the right blend of:
Yoga & Meditation | Local Cuisine | Workshops | Fun & Nature
Yogasana & Meditation
Yogasana & Meditation
Morning meditation will start our day before sunrise, followed by a morning asana practice before breakfast. All asana classes will be inclusive and accessible, taking into account all experience levels and participants’ intentions for their practice. Note: All yoga practices are optional, so don’t let this be a deterrent to your partner wanting to come!
These sessions will be our chance to greet the new day with wonder and amazement as we express gratitude to the earth for the incredible place in which we are so fortunate to practice. Yoga Mats and props will all be provided by the retreat center.
Local Cuisine
Local Cuisine
Retreat Ranch’s onsite chef will provide amazing meals throughout our retreat experience where all dietary preferences are taken into account. Meal times will be some of our most special times during the weekend as we meet in the dining hall for good food, fellowship, and a chance to just hang out with other couples seeking the same peace and wellbeing in their relationship as you are!
Workshops
Workshops
Air, earth, fire, oh my! Kelli has been leading workshops and professional learning experiences for more than 20 years, and this is one of her most favorite topics to share!
The premise of our time together this weekend is that as we learn more about the elements of the universe and their influence in our own lives and in how we show up in our relationships, we will begin to equip ourselves with resources we can draw from when future challenges come into our lives. From how we plan our future to how we vacation to how we disagree … The principles of Ayurveda will offer us tangible tools that can be applied in every aspect of the human experience. And the best part is we will learn them all in fun and engaging ways!
Fun & Nature
Fun & Nature
We will have Couples activities planned that give us a chance to engage in the amazing nature around us, but in your free time, you can enjoy the hot tub, sauna, or cold plunge, as well as extensive hiking trails throughout the 46 acres of The Retreat Ranch.
This is not a retreat where you sit and learn. You will be engaged and having fun the entire time, all while learning how to embody the amazing tools you are learning!
Ready to Secure Your Spot?
Book the Connected Couples Retreat and then once one partner registers, you will register the other partner in the same way using the discount code CONNECTED at check-out, making that second registration cost $0.
Think about what you’d spend on a weekend away together and then consider the investment you’ll be making to learn how to help your relationship THRIVE.
