This was my first yoga retreat and in fact my first official yoga class. I was as green as they come. My friend told me how great it was and I had always wanted to learn yoga so I signed up with her with the intention of taking classes for a few months before attending the retreat. I was a little nervous about my lack of practice and skill but decided there was no better time than now to dive in and learn. We had around 21 women in our group, every one of them was wonderful, kind, and interesting to talk to. The food was excellent and the location can’t be beat. I went to every session, I wanted to get the full experience. The beds were so comfortable, a new outdoor shower was installed and it too was excellent. The property could not be more peaceful. When I came home my friends and family asked how it was and one of the best words that came to me repeatedly was magical. I have already found a local yoga studio that is close to me to continue by practice and have been practicing daily since coming back home. If you are thinking about booking a retreat with Autumn you won’t regret it. You will leave a better person with more knowledge about many things but most importantly your true self. I plan to go again next year (with some refined skills) and am looking over a few other destination locations as well. Autumn and Toni are awesome teachers and I highly recommend the retreats they offer, thank you for a great first experience.
