Welcome, friends, to The Retreat – a vibrant, inclusive yoga and wellness community in Northwest Austin. Amy Hogan and Tracy Liberman’s journey to this partnership is woven with years of shared passion, friendship, and a deep commitment to creating sanctuaries for self-discovery, meaningful connections and growth.

The Present

The Retreat is more than a yoga studio; it’s a space where individuals can reconnect with their true selves and thrive in a supportive, welcoming environment. As co-leaders, Amy and Tracy are dedicated to expanding the community’s reach, inspiring individuals locally in Austin, and continuing their tradition of transformative international retreats.

Amy and Tracy’s journey as collaborators began in 2012 when their sons played on the same soccer team. Their conversations on the sidelines often turned to yoga, a shared passion that led to Amy pursuing her 200-hour yoga teacher certification at Yoga Yoga, inspired by Tracy’s recommendation. Tracy had completed the same program years prior.

In 2015, Amy founded Studio Mantra, her first yoga studio, and Tracy was one of the first teachers to join the team. Over time, their friendship and professional partnership grew as they co-hosted international women’s retreats in stunning destinations like Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, and Jamaica. These experiences strengthened their shared vision of creating meaningful connections through yoga and mindfulness.

Today, as co-leaders of The Retreat, Amy and Tracy are excited to grow this vibrant community and deepen their engagement with the local Northwest Austin area while continuing to host the retreats that have become a hallmark of their work.

The Past

The Retreat is rooted in the foundation laid by Mantra Yoga Collective (MYC), which Amy co-founded with Laura Teal. With MYC, Amy and Laura worked to make yoga accessible to all, challenging the exclusive stereotypes often associated with the practice. They believed wellness is a birthright for all and built a community where people of all backgrounds could connect through yoga and mindfulness.

Laura’s legacy continues as she pursues her dream of leading Yoga Landing in Chattanooga. Her contributions remain a cherished part of The Retreat’s history, and Amy and Tracy are honored to build on that foundation.

The Future

Amy and Tracy are passionate about growing The Retreat as a hub for connection, transformation, and empowerment. Whether through yoga classes, workshops, or international retreats, their mission is to create a space where individuals feel inspired to nurture their minds, bodies, and spirits.

The Retreat is a testament to the power of intention, community, and collaboration—a space where everyone is welcome to grow, thrive, and connect.

Thank you for being part of our story—we can’t wait to see what we’ll create together.
