Retreats are powerful.
At Beloved we cultivate a space for intentional, deep study of yoga philosophy, healthy living, and empowerment. Each retreat is hand crafted for excellence. We visit some of the most beautiful locations on the planet, inspired by local culture, cuisine, flora, fauna, ocean waves, and luxurious accommodations.
Beyond a simple week vacation.
On retreat you will have the opportunity to learn a new skill, or gain certification in Yoga Teaching, Yin Yoga, Thai Massage, or Swedish Massage Therapy. Our retreats include an optional 50 hours of study with the intention to enliven your life, stir up your conscious awareness, and build deep knowledge of self.
Each retreat is 7 days and 6 nights including luxurious accommodations, fabulous local cuisine, finely selected day trips, training certification, and daily yoga/meditation classes.
About Jaina Two Rivers
Founder & Director of Beloved Retreats
E-RYT 500, NCMT 1000
Namaste — I’m Jaina Two Rivers, founder and director of Beloved Retreats. Creating this work has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and it is my honor to invite you to join me on sacred journeys around the world. In the past few years, we have traveled to California, Bali, Morocco, Peru, Hawaii, India, Egypt, Maldives, Portugal, France, Italy, Mexico, Nepal, Thailand, and more—each retreat a rich tapestry of yoga, cultural immersion, and deep transformation. Every weeklong experience is designed as both an adventure of a lifetime and a certified educational immersion in yoga, healing, and personal evolution.
I have been practicing yoga since 1998 and teaching since 2002. My path began in the body—as a dedicated athlete who broke state swimming records as a child and discovered early what it meant to live in “the zone.” That sense of flow and heightened awareness led me naturally to yoga, where I found not just physical mastery, but the keys to manifestation, vitality, and spiritual awakening.
Alongside studies in physics, and cellular biology, I explored yoga’s intersection with science and consciousness. Over the years, I have immersed myself in health and healing modalities—earning certifications in massage therapy, craniosacral therapy, Thai massage, energy work, permaculture, herbalism, flower essences, and advanced anatomy and physiology. These disciplines continue to inform my teaching, grounded in both embodied wisdom and deep ecological awareness.
At the heart of my work is a devotion to union—to the merging of body, mind, and spirit through yoga, breath, nourishment, intuition, and love. As your guide and mentor, I offer a personalized approach to teacher training, coaching, and transformation—honoring the unique way each of us learns, heals, and awakens.
My mission is simple: to help every individual remember their radiance and shine their brightest.
Yoga is to go beyond the mind and body and into the infinite awareness of Self. I have the ability to translate this ancient information as a spiritual guide, in a practical and approachable way. I am committed to your journey as a powerful healer. I see yoga available to us at all times during the day, whether or not you are on your mat. This integration of form, awareness, and intention opens doors to experience pure presence. Yoga is to go beyond the senses, and to merge the observer, the act of observing, and the ego-thought-stream into one luminous experience of life. May every moment of your day be in conscious awareness, and every interaction divinely sweet.
The Beloved Trainings include alignment training, anatomy, biology, physiology, living foods, massage therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, meditation, fasting, and explorations of consciousness.
Lastly I have a love for all things beautiful. I enjoy meditation, surfing, turquoise tropical waves, dancing, music, and basking in the sun. I have lead 200 & 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training to hundreds of students over the last decade, and touched many more through daily classes. It is such a deep joy and honor to watch students become powerful healers.
I am based in Minneapolis, MN, and am also a professor at Minneapolis College. I offer private yoga study, nutrition, & clinical massage therapy.
Join me this year on a Yoga Retreat or a Teacher Training! It will reboot your entire life.
