“This was an amazing retreat in a stunning place with incredible people. Mary is such a kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable teacher who really puts her whole heart and soul into what she does. From the yoga practices, meditation, nourishing meals, unforgettable adventures, and connections with others, this retreat was exactly what I needed.”

January 2023 Hawaii Yoga and Surf Retreat - By Juliette G on Jan 18, 2023- 5 Stars Selected *****

“Beautiful retreat in Zion hosted by Mary, who was such a great host. Our daily hikes were so beautiful and challenging - feeling so much stronger! Morning meditation and yoga workshopping was so helpful - as I am a newly qualified YTT. We stayed right in Springdale, super central location - lots of great coffee shops and stores.”

June 2022 - Zion Yoga, Meditation, Hiking, and Nature Retreat - By Olivia C on Jun 17, 2022 - 5 Stars Selected *****

“I had never done a solo trip or been to a yoga retreat before and this trip exceeded all my expectations. Mary Susan is one of the nicest and kindest people you will ever meet. The retreat was restorative, healing, full of community and love, so much fun, and just what I needed at this time of my life. I can't thank Mary enough for sharing her practice and her beautiful home, Kaua'i, with us. This trip turned out to be one of my best travels to date, and the experience will always stay with me. Mahalo, Mary, we love you!”

“BEST ADVENTURE TRIP!!!! We did Kauai like the locals - visiting hidden beaches, unknown swimming holes, deserted rivers and waterfalls. Mary knows the North Shore because she loves it, and she shares it all with her retreat attendees. Mary is an accomplished Yogini and SUP teacher, you will have a great time and learn a lot too. Just do it! One of my favorite experiences ever. Mahalo Mary!”

“Mary gave us a wonderful trip. I enjoyed her easy-to-follow breakdown of popular yoga poses. I found that it enhanced my experience and improved my physical/mental connection to the poses and yoga practice in general. I fell back in love with power yoga again after years of it being stale. Her yoga nidra and restorative yoga practice reinforced some great mantras and relayed positive reinforcement and good vibes. She’s truly lovely and has practiced from the best. The travel experiences were so much fun and very relaxing. I felt very safe and loved throughout the whole trip. Could not have asked for a better facilitator.”

December 2021 - Aspen Yoga, Meditation, Hot Springs Winter Retreat - By Noelle H on Dec 22, 2021 - 5 Stars Selected *****

“This yoga and meditation retreat was the perfect reset I needed, spiritually and physically. I'm grateful for all the care and attention Mary put into planning our sessions and activities. There was a comfortable flexibility, with lots of good options, and the right amount of downtime, too. She is knowledgeable, real, and down to earth; a beautiful and refreshing presence. She created a warm and accepting atmosphere, offering us the space to tap into what we needed. I like learning about different kinds of meditations and breath work, it is so incredibly helpful and centering for me. The yoga sessions were revolutionarily helpful in breaking down the foundations of the poses to align properly, and with gentleness. It felt so good to move my body and breathe!”

May 2021 - CO Yoga, Hiking, Hot Springs Adventure Retreat in Aspen - By Lisa R on May 24, 2021 - 5 Stars Selected*****

“MARY is 5 STARS all the way around......From the moment I met her and throughout the Telluride trip everything was AMAZING. The accommodations, food and extra excursions Mary set up for us despite COVID, despite an unexpected snowstorm in September and juggling schedule changes she made the TRIP by far unforgettable. Her hospitality and Yoga expertise were outstanding. Mary made me feel like I've known her forever and I consider her a wonderful close friend. She is very gifted in her chosen practice and such a BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT. If I could afford it I would love to go on all of Mary's yoga retreats and adventures. Maria LeMieux -Telluride 2020”

September 2020 - Telluride Retreat to True Nature - Women’s Alpine Adventure -By Maria L on Mar 22, 2021 - 5 Stars Selected*****

"Being a yoga novice, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I can honestly say this trip was everything I wanted and more! Mary did an excellent job accommodating participants of every skill level and making everyone feel equally comfortable. There was an instant bond among all the women on the trip that just grew stronger throughout the retreat. The food was phenomenal as were the add-on activities. I loved every minute of it and would highly recommend this trip to anyone who needs a little “me time.” I definitely left more relaxed, yet alive, then when I arrived.

“I had an amazing time at this retreat. It was my first retreat experience, and I'm so glad I did this with Mary as the guide. She really knows her way around the location, and goes to every effort to make it a great time for everyone. I learned a lot in group activities, and also had flexibility to explore on my own.”

“This trip was WONDERFUL! Telluride is such a beautiful place and Mary orchestrated such a beautiful retreat for us! We did yoga, went on hikes, did stand up paddle boarding at a gorgeous lake in the mountains, and just had a blast. Our condos were beautiful and breakfast was made for us every morning. The Yoga Writing Workshop was fantastic, and so were the meditations. Mary has a gift and I would recommend one of these retreats to ALL women. It was a much needed getaway. I can't wait to do another!”

“We had a wonderful retreat! Mary is extremely accommodating and chill, we liked that aspect of the trip, but I do wish there had been a bit more structure involved. Overall, I was happy to have my activities planned which saved my group from the "uh, what should we do now" moments and allowed us just to morph from one activity to the next. "Yoga" in the moment :) Telluride is so beautiful and if you have the opportunity to do this trip with Mary it was well worth it! The variety of activities planned really helped us see the most of Telluride, and there was a lot of flexibility to eat and shop and explore town and the surrounding areas.:

“I had an awesome time.. Mary Susan was fantastic, very enthusiastic, taught me a lot about yoga,and the hiking was spectacular.

“Our adventures in Estes Park, CO were amazing. Not on the scenery was fantastic but the food, hiking, group of women were outstanding. Mary is an excellent SUP yoga instructor and I love that she is always up for an adventure. Mary always had breakfast ready in the morning and was always working with the group to best find the perfect flow of activities for the day. I loved that she allowed us to have flexibility in what we wanted to do. Our group was a bit disappointed in the accommodations for this trip but Mary did her best to accommodate and refund us some money for the inconvenience. I look forward to future yoga retreats with Mary and old and new friends.”
