Testimonials

  • My first yoga retreat was probably one of the best trips of my life!

    ‘The highlight was creating a healthy routine on a gorgeous Island with a community of likeminded individuals. The content shared deepened my understanding of breath, meditation and Ashtanga. Building my confidence to adapt and modify my sequence elevated my practice to a whole different level!

    Big takeaway was knowing that a daily practice is obtainable for ALL bodies. I have major spine issues, on retreat I was shown a variety of modifications to integrate into my daily practice.

    The picturesque landscape of the villa was absolutely breathtaking! Daily trips to the many teal blue coves of Mallorca were surreal. The food was amazing, fresh and clean, the hosts and guests were lovely. I highly recommend this retreat!’

  • Without doubt this was one of the best week-long retreats I've attended

    “The day I received the email advertising this retreat, I knew I had to register...and it did not disappoint! Bibi and Jacquie set a lovely tone, a combination of attentive practice, mindfulness, and fun. Every day was a joy, the chanting, yoga practice, walking meditation, mindfulness discussions...every minute sheer pleasure. Our group bonded quickly, such a wonderful blend of personalities. The venue was sublime and the food was the best I've tasted. As a long-time retreat goer, I can say without doubt this was one of the best week-long retreats I've attended. It revived my yoga practice and helped me gain a renewed outlook on what matters in my life. Coming back to the "real world" was easy because I absorbed so much from this Mallorca retreat. I'm definitely signing up for the next one!”

  • "Can't wait for the 2023 retreat!"

    “After years of not going on a retreat or taking time off to focus on my practice, self care, and overall rest, Bibi's Ibiza retreat was exactly what I needed. In true honor of her personality and spirit, there was a strong yet gentle energy to the whole experience. Not so early morning practice to kindle the fire element within, followed by a wholesome vegan brunch and a full day of R&R at the most beautiful beaches in the world. Thoughtful restorative and sutra study in the evenings to unwind and settle the energy for dinner and rest. The group was fantastic, the meals were out of this world, and having Bibi to guide us through it all was priceless. Can't wait for 2023 retreat!.”

  • "I was nervous about being a beginner among experienced Ashtanga practitioners"

    "I was nervous about being a beginner among experienced Ashtanga practitioners and traveling solo at first, but Bibi made both experienced and beginners feel at ease with her staggered classes (experienced yogis starting earlier with beginners coming in later) which also enabled her to give us all some one-on-one attention. All of the retreat goers were really nice and friendly and interesting which made the retreat all the more enjoyable, too."

  • "I love the locations that Bibi chooses"

    I love the locations that Bibi chooses (not only are they beautiful and located in bucket-list cities/countries, but they are distinctly intentional-environmentally/socially aware and compliment her teachings-aka they are not just cookie-cutter courses repeated in Instagram-worthy locations.

  • "I don't feel like one of many students"

    Her earnest wish to help us progress our practice, no matter where we are starting from or what our physical fitness level is. I don't feel like one of many students (I feel like she "gets" each of us and helps us all individually reach our different goals)

  • "It felt amazing to reconnect with my practice"

    I went on retreat with Bibi to Ibiza when I was almost 7 months pregnant. Bibi went out of her way to make me feel extra taken care of and empowered throughout our week together. She gave me personalized pregnant-friendly variations that allowed me to follow along with the rest of the group. It felt amazing to reconnect with my practice, and it gave me a solid foundation to carry the practice with me. In the workshops we explored yoga philosophy, which always turned into beautiful, open discussions with the group that stayed with me well beyond our time together. To top it all off, we enjoyed the most delicious, and nourishing food prepared by lovely Chef Ruth, while facing gorgeous views of the Mediterranean Sea.
