I had a great time, on the retreat. Kelly and Katie were wonderful hosts. The yoga and mediation was great, Kelly and Katie were very accommodating and in touch with the group's needs. The location was perfect, food was great, and we couldn't ask for better weather. I especially enjoyed yoga at the winery! Thank you Kelly and Katie!

I had an amazing time on this retreat! Kelly and Kate were absolutely wonderful and thought of everything to give us a memorable retreat! The yoga, the winery, the meals, the accommodations and the company were awesome! I loved spending time on the front porch and meeting new people and sharing a love and passion for yoga! I would definitely do this retreat again! Thanks so much Kate and Kelly for your hard work!

Kelly and Kate's Beach Yoga Retreat was a wonderful experience. From the glorious beach meditations, to the expertly guided yoga classes, this retreat did not disappoint! The accommodations were beautiful, and the location was amazing! Anna Lisa's massage was one of the best I've ever had, and the Cape May Winery class was an added treat! I enjoyed having some down time throughout the day to allow time to experience the quaint little town of Cape May. Everything I wanted and more!

This was an incredible experience from the beginning to the end. The accommodations were spacious and inviting. Yoga was balanced, centered & powerful. Food was delicious and a special tip of the cap to the masseuse Annalisa, who melted everyone. Most important, strangers became friend, relationships were deepened, time slowed down and the was an abundance of laughter, joy and love. Gratitude to Katie & Kelly and thanks to rest of my OG's, looking forward to chillin with you'll again!
