Global Retreats + Adventures

"What a wonderful way to explore a country! Honestly a great balance between yoga and exploring the local towns and culture. The included transportation made exploring easy and inexpensive. The meals were nourishing and diverse. I felt very safe the entire trip, excursions and all. Also, as an introvert, I felt I had plenty of moments of free time where I could choose to go on a walk, hang at the pool, or relax on the rooftop to decompress. Overall such a pleasant experience! I look forward to my next retreat!"

- Ally, Atlanta, GA (Coastal Morocco Retreat, 2021)

“This was my first ‘group travel’ experience, and it was perfect from start to finish. Though I often travel alone, this was a part of the world I wasn't sure I felt comfortable going solo. Anna was able to apply her experiences from scouting the trip to allow us to experience the best of what this part of SE Asia had to offer. The pre-trip information, provided in advance, was comprehensive and very informative in setting expectations for what we would need and what we could expect. The variety of activities offered was perfect and uniquely showcased the best of Cambodia.”

- Pamela, New York, NY (Cambodia Retreat, 2020)

“This retreat well surpassed any expectation I had going into it. Anna's attention to every aspect of the experience is second to none. From the moment you arrive, it is obvious that she has done her homework on the retreat location, activities that appeal to everyone's interests, is well-versed in local culture, and is prepared to offer a grade A hospitality experience to each of her guests. Whether you are a yoga instructor or have never practiced, Anna's retreats are for everyone. Going into it I felt that the retreat was a little out of my comfort zone, but the people that Anna surrounds herself with are just as welcoming as she is. Phenomenal all around experience start to finish.”

- Shannon, Charlotte, NC (Ireland Retreat, 2018)

“Words cannot describe how incredible this trip was! From the moment I signed up, there was steady and clear communication - I didn't have to worry about a thing. This remained consistent throughout the trip, with a number of wonderful activities planned. Additionally, Anna did an incredible job of coordinating any free time activities someone wanted to take part in. Her coordination and organization throughout the trip allowed for the perfect vacation. I would also like to add the itinerary provided was excellent!”

- Jen W., Washington, DC (Ireland Retreat 2018, Cambodia Retreat, 2020)

"First, let’s just say that if you’re hesitating about travelling internationally in this confusing and ever-changing COVID landscape, you can go blindly with Anna and Above Yoga - I cannot imagine a safer way to travel right now. Anna is ON TOP OF IT. And the retreat itself- the most amazing week I’ve had in a long time, with the most amazing group of women. As an extremely busy working mom, I was so looking forward to not having to think about any plans or meals, and this week was heaven. Yoga twice a day, meditation, journaling, healthy meals, lovely conversation, interesting excursions in amazing places, time to relax, etc. I wouldn’t change a thing."

- Erin, Dallas, TX (Coastal Morocco Retreat, 2021)

"Anna's attention to every detail is beyond compare! From the moment we booked our retreat, her communication with us was timely and just the right amount. I felt comfortable upon arrival, at every excursion, to our departure. The Villa was absolutely perfect: clean, safe, private and beautiful. The schedule was clear and organized but also allowed for a lot of flexibility and spontaneity - a great balance for a retreat/vacation. Anna's calm energy was also super-appreciated. Even though I know she was working very hard behind the scenes, she always was relaxed, calm and organized which helped all of us, I think, feel the same way during the entire retreat. Truly excellent! "

- Sarah, Milwaukee, WI (Mexico Retreat, 2021)

"This trip was worth every bit of anxiety I had leading up to it. Once I got on the plane, it was all smooth sailing! COVID definitely changed things, but Anna did an amazing job of keeping us updated leading up to the trip on the COVID situation in Morocco. I was confident in her planning and preparation. The accommodations were 100% perfect. The food was AMAZING, and I would eat that way every day if I could. The staff were helpful and accommodating. I loved the variety of yoga classes offered. I usually prefer a sweaty vinyasa flow, so it was good to get some of that, as well as try some new types of yoga. Overall, the entire trip was well-planned, well-balanced and FUN. "

- Meghan, St. Paul, MN (Coastal Morocco Retreat, 2021)

"Wonderful trip with a nice blend of yoga, sightseeing and unique experiences like the sailboat sunset cruise. the group was small but delightful and easy to get to know. The villa was fabulous and so much nicer than staying in a hotel. The property (incl. the rooms) was stunning, the roof top pool magnificent and the location (only a couple of blocks from the ocean) perfect. "

- Andrea, Boise, ID (Mexico Retreat, 2021)

“(The) South of France was my second retreat with Above Yoga. I love how detailed Anna is with her retreats. The pre-trip organization (flight/travel assistance, packing list, weather updates) is top notch. I also love the groups of people she cultivates to join her on trips. Her retreats are a perfect mix for me of yoga, adventure, and tourism!”

– Katie, Charlotte, NC (France Retreat 2019)

"Anna is prompt in communication. I really appreciated her keeping in contact with us during COVID. She was always open to being asked questions. The retreat venue felt like paradise. The staff we interacted with were very welcoming. I only attended one yoga class and never felt any type of pressure to do more. I can’t wait to go back."

- Lori, Winston-Salem, NC (Mexico Retreat, 2021)

"Villa was amazing, perfect space, a little tight when all people were participating in yoga class but not bad. The meals were amazing, the events organized as well. Anna you have a real niche for this. The experience was memorable. My wife and I already miss it."

- Brandon, Los Angeles, CA (Mexico Retreat, 2021)
