I recently had the pleasure of attending another mend yoga retreat in Sayliuta, Mexico, and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. From the stunning location to the compassionate and knowledgable instructors, every aspect of the retreat was truly exceptional. The retreat was held at a beautiful mountaintop villa in Mexico, which provided the perfect backdrop for a week of relaxation and rejuvenation. The views? I felt like I was in a dream! They were out of this world. The accommodations were comfortable and inviting, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. I immediately felt at ease and at home in this serene environment. The yoga classes were led by knowledgeable and experienced instructors who guided us through a variety of practices, including vinyasa and restorative yoga just to name a few. Each class was thoughtfully structured to challenge and inspire us, while also allowing for moments of introspection and self-discovery. I left each session feeling more centered and grounded, with a renewed sense of mindfulness and clarity. In addition to the yoga classes, the retreat also offered other activities such as meditation, pranayama, trips to the town and beach and local dinners. These experiences complemented the yoga practice beautifully and helped me deepen my connection to myself and the world around me. Overall, my time at the yoga retreat in Mexico was truly transformative. I left feeling physically and mentally refreshed, with a renewed sense of purpose and vitality. I would highly recommend a mend retreat to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice, reconnect with themselves, and experience the beauty of Mexico in a meaningful and impactful way. It was a truly unforgettable experience that I will cherish for years to come.

Retreat is an immersive experience with yourself. When you distance distraction & truly devote time for the mind, body, spirit - you walk away with an unrepeatable sense of renewal. Each retreat is unique & powerful in its own way. Thank you Mend for helping me quiet the constant noise within & pushing new boundaries to what is possible.

Magic. The trip with mend was as simple and complex as that; magic. The feeling of openness, authenticity, kindness, and vulnerability opened my heart in a way I did not think was possible. The togetherness felt fostered but not forced, the yoga, meditation, and sound baths created a Zen den or warmth and gratefulness inside my soul. Salinara in Sicily was waking up everyday in a dream The food was enriching to my body and we laughed and cried without pause. Without an ounce of hesitation, I would follow mend on any retreat anywhere. Your body, mind, and spirit will be eternally grateful.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING experience. I loved every second of this trip – the 2x/day practice, meditations, dreamy location, and kind group. We all entered the week as strangers and left as great friends. The week was open enough to choose your own adventure during the day, giving us the option to explore and experience the area. Brooke + Chrissy + Allison provided examples and suggestions for restaurants, things to do, etc. The practices lead by the group felt exciting, new, and there were lots of laughs throughout. I never felt pressured in ANY way – rested and took solo time when needed. I would attend another retreat in a heartbeat!! <3

There is no place like Mend! Brooke, Chrissy, and Alison took the magic of Mend to Sicily and held space for 30 strangers to become incredible friends. This was my second time traveling with the studio and it exceeded my expectations even more. Some of my favorite classes ever taken with Mend were on this trip! The retreat was equally relaxing and exciting. We stayed in a gorgeous villa with delicious homemade Italian dishes. We toured a winery and visited the Island of Favignana. There was plenty of opportunity to explore independently or with the group. I will never stop talking about this experience! Thank you Mend fam :)
