Testimonials
“I never thought in my whole life I would ever identify with yoga. Thank you for making it accessible to me at this time. I have always been so “compressed” and your class is actually “decompressing” me as I leave each time more and more open.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Yoga Retreats
Here are a handful of questions I have been asked recently about my yoga retreats.
1. I’ve never been on a yoga retreat before, what can I expect?
You don’t need to be an experienced yogi to join. My retreats are designed to be welcoming for all levels, with plenty of space to rest, reconnect, and move at your own pace. You can expect daily yoga classes, nourishing food, peaceful surroundings, and time to explore or simply unwind. Many people come solo to yoga retreats and leave with new friends.
2. Can I come with a friend or family member, even if they’re new to yoga?
Absolutely. Retreats are a wonderful shared experience, and many guests bring a friend, partner, or family member. I often welcome pairs who come for mother–daughter yoga or to simply share time together in a relaxed, supportive setting - I've had people come with friends or family that don't even do any yoga but just come for the time away with a loved one. All classes are taught with variations so everyone feels comfortable, no matter their experience level, and there’s plenty of free time to enjoy together, from meals to local excursions.
3. Do I have to join every yoga session or activity?
Not at all. Everything on retreat is optional. You’re encouraged to listen to your body and do what feels right for you, whether that’s joining every session, taking long walks, or enjoying quiet moments of rest. This is your time to recharge in whatever way you need.
