What Yogi's are Saying About Our Retreats .

  • I can’t talk highly enough of Cally and how amazing she is at what she does! Overall-Cally is organized, detail oriented, super sweet and has the biggest heart, and I Couldn’t recommend her any higher as a Yoga Instructor, and Trip Planner!

    Payton W.

  • Cally had everything planned from rooms to yoga to amazing adventures. This was my first solo trip with a group of ladies I didn't know. She made everyone feel comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better group of ladies to travel with.

    Tori R.

  • Cally is an amazing instructor!! I had never done yoga before and jumped on her first yoga retreat to Portugal— many of us were first timers and she has the talent, love, and skill to teach all from first timers to experts. She is fun, kind, and loving and makes sure you are comfortable every step of the way!

    Alex R.

  • As someone who’s always wanted to travel but not travel alone this trip was the perfect start. All of the girls were amazing and even though sometimes the ever changing weather could have ruined the trip Cally asked us what we wanted to do and made it happen.

    Emma G.

  • Cally is organized, responsive, detailed, positive and never once did I have to worry about making a decision. I felt she took care of us all in such a smooth and knowledgeable way. She had the days planned perfectly and thoroughly. Gave us enough down time and options if we wanted to choose things for our "adventure”.
