Sybil and Kim are both energetic and dynamic certified yoga instructors, recognized by Yoga Alliance, and are excited to share many experiences and space with others through retreats. Although they reside and teach in different states, they’ve been known to share laughs, playlists, class themes, and sequences across the distance. They are excited to bring their students together in one space. Expect retreats where you can let go, laugh, connect with others, and experience a variety of yoga styles, fit to your choosing.

I don’t want you to know how incredible this retreat was because selfishly, I want it all to myself. From the moment we arrived in Belize, greeted by the warm weather and warm smiles, I knew I was in for a special treat! Kim and Sybil somehow created an experience that’s equal parts soul searching, yoga- obviously, belly-aching laughter, and “I can’t believe I’m actually here” moments. The yoga? Restorative and challenging in the best way. It is like they somehow knew exactly when I needed to push and when I needed to just lay there and meditate or nap. The vibes? Magical!!! It felt less like a retreat and more like a girls trip with new friends I didn’t know I was missing. If you are fortunate to go on one of these trips, I guess it’s fine. But don’t tell too many people. (And Kim and Sybil? You’re the worst for making it so hard to leave. Also, the best. Obviously.)

This was my first yoga retreat with Kim and Sybill, and it did not disappoint. The attention to details were noticed and so appreciated! The assortment of yoga classes with a wide range of styles and assists- were on point!I I hope to sign up for another pilgrimage soon!!

I can’t believe it’s been a week already since our amazing trip…I swear I relive it daily, as if I’m still there. This was a splurge for me, an opportunity to explore new things, make new friends, find a healthier me that used to be and I did all of those things! I found so much healing and growth in all of the sessions, even as a beginner. Thank you Kim and Sybil for an amazing adventure, it was more than obvious that every detail was throughly considered to make this a 5 star experience …I am hooked! Will be joining in future travels for sure! It was great to meet everyone…truly appreciate all the new connections and look forward to seeing you all again soon!

The most magical experience! I wouldn't consider myself a big "yogi" and I sure never saw myself going on a yoga retreat- but after feeling moved on my mat each week in Kim's classes at the Mine and seeing the beautiful places she was traveling to- my friend said we should go and I IMMEDIATELY said YES! Now I can't wait to go on another one! Coming home I realized how special it was for me to take time for myself and my yoga journey!
By Jamie D for Barefoot on the Beach: A 2025 Island Retreat on Mar 10, 2025
