I'm so glad that I said "yes" and went on this trip. It was an incredible experience I'll remember forever! Melanie led an incredible retreat with just the right balance of structure and down-time throughout the week. The retreat center where we stayed is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and the food was incredible too! Not to mention how much I loved the daily yoga -- Melanie truly is a gifted instructor skilled at making yoga accessible yet challenging for all levels. I'm so grateful for the experience! If you're thinking about attending a retreat with Melanie -- DO IT!

I just returned from an absolutely incredible weeklong retreat in Peru led by my amazing yoga teacher Melanie, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was thoughtfully curated to create a deeply nourishing and balanced journey. Each day was a perfect blend of structure and spaciousness — grounding yoga sessions, heartfelt meditations, intentional journaling time, and meaningful group connections — all woven together with just the right amount of free time and unforgettable excursions to explore the beauty and culture of Peru. The resort we stayed at was peaceful and grounding, nestled in nature with nourishing food prepared with such love and care. Every detail was intentional, and the group of people she brought together truly felt like soul family — supportive, kind, and inspiring. This retreat was everything I hoped for and more: rejuvenating, expansive, and deeply connected. If you're thinking about joining one of Melanie’s retreats, do it. You will not regret it. 10/10 would recommend, again and again.

It was simply Stellar! The space and location were fantastic with amazing views. The food was locally grown, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The people were as friendly and helpful as you could ask for. Melanie was full on brilliant, with her patience, understanding, flexibility, consideration, connection, and warm and inviting personality. This trip is a DEFINITE forever memory snapshot.
