This was my third yoga retreat with Autumn. In fact, many of the participants this time were ‘repeaters’ of Autumn’s retreats. We didn’t know each other, but we all recognized the quality of experience that Autumn provides—and we all wanted to experience it again. It speaks VOLUMES about Autumn. Several of us jokingly asked her where we were going next year—but we really weren’t joking! Autumn does an excellent job researching all of her retreat locations and she personally vets each property beforehand. (I have learned the hard way that not all yoga retreat teachers do so). Another very special aspect of Autumns retreats, besides the AMAZING morning and afternoon yoga, are the excursions that she plans and includes in the price. This year in Thailand we went to a night-market, had a full boating day, and we got a tour of an outdoor Buddhist temple and the surrounding property—really exposing us to the culture and the natural beauty of the area. In a nutshell, her locations are beautiful, her yoga is challenging but do-able, and her price-point is always value packed. MOST IMPORTANTLY, however, is the sense of community and connection that she has fostered and grown over the years. When you arrive you won’t be anyones wife/partner/daughter/mom—you will just be seen as YOU.
