I had the most amazing experience. This was my first yoga retreat and everything was so lovely! Mary had everything thoughtfully planned. Her retreat selection was wonderful and introduced the group to detoxifying meals prepared by Dr Lemm and her staff that were delicious and satisfying. Yoga was in a beautiful room overlooking the sea with challenging Vinyasa flows in the morning and more restorative sessions each evening. We had fun, we laughed, we ate, had massages, went into town and we flowed. It will be the first of many retreats with Mary!

“A Transformational Second Experience” This was my second retreat with Mary, and somehow it was even more magical than the first. She has a gift for creating a space that feels both deeply nurturing and energizing—a balance that’s rare to find. From the moment we arrived, every detail was so thoughtfully curated: the serene location and the flow of the schedule. Her teaching is simply extraordinary. She weaves together movement, breath work, and meditation with such clarity and compassion that each session feels like a personal journey. I find myself learning something new with her every time—about alignment, about inner stillness, and about myself. What truly sets her apart is the atmosphere she fosters among the group: open, warm, and supportive. Strangers become friends, and by the end, you leave not just with a stronger practice, but with a lighter heart. Coming back for a second time reminded me why I trusted her with my first. And now I know—it won’t be my last.

Mary’s retreat to Columbia was amazing! The resort was incredibly beautiful! The staff was amazing! The food was delicious! But the very part was Mary’s yoga classes which she obviously puts so much thought time and energy into planning!

Best retreat in the most beautiful setting. Mary was amazing and planned everything so well. Never a dull moment. Great yoga, interesting activities, delicious food and a great group of women with positive energy. Would repeat without hesitation!

Words cannot do justice for the amazing experiences Mary creates- her retreats have been the best gifts I’ve given to myself! She brings such a positive energy and passion for creating an environment in which we can connect and enjoy yoga along with fun activities in beautiful places. She takes such great care to ensure that all participants are happy and safe, and that the accommodations are top notch. I know that I can join Mary for a retreat anywhere and have an amazing experience that brings me home feeling restored and revitalized. The Azores was such a magical corner of the world and Mary made sure we were all able to enjoy the best of the island while also having time to rest and recharge. Thank you again for making such a wonderful experience possible!
