Meet Your Retreat Leaders

Iris Haftlang is a yoga teacher and wellness educator with more than two decades of experience helping people slow down, reconnect, and create more space for what matters most through yoga, meditation, retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings.

Known for her warm, approachable style and genuine love of people, Iris has built a devoted community through her teaching throughout the Dallas area. She holds E-RYT 500 and YACEP credentials and continues to mentor both teachers and students through educational programs and professional training.

As co-founder of Sacred Wanderer Retreats, Iris is excited to partner with Amy in creating journeys that blend wellness, adventure, culture, and community. Her hope for Discover Bali is simple: that guests leave with wonderful memories, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation for both the world around them and the life waiting for them at home.

Having visited 64 countries and always searching for the next unforgettable experience, Amy believes the best memories are often made outside of your comfort zone — whether that means climbing a mountain, navigating a bustling local market, or discovering hidden gems far beyond the typical tourist path.

As the founder of Curated Expeditions, Amy combines her love of meaningful travel with her passion for introducing people to new cultures, authentic connection, and immersive adventure. From active outdoor escapes to thoughtfully planned cultural journeys, she thrives on creating experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence, joy, and lasting memories. Known for her energetic spirit and willingness to say “yes” to almost any adventure, Amy brings enthusiasm, positivity, and a deep love of exploration to everything she does.
