The yoga retreat was awesome. I really enjoyed all the experiences we had, especially the sweat lodge. I really appreciate the passion Kellie has for wellness. The food was delicious and the service was great. The two massages I had were fantastic.

2nd time with this Retreat. The resort was so accommodating, and the retreat agenda was perfect with yoga classes/workshops, local activities, and downtime to schedule massages, other experiences, or just hang out to enjoy the beautiful place. Food at the resort is excellent - healthy and diet inclusive options.

Awaken in Italy: Yoga & Mindset Retreat with Go Yoga Express was an absolute dream come true! From start to finish, this retreat was an enchanting journey of self-discovery, rejuvenation, and pure bliss. It truly was a trip of a lifetime, and we cannot thank Kellie enough for all her hard work and dedication in planning every detail. The location in Italy was nothing short of breathtaking. The serene atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for our yoga and meditation practices, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment and find inner peace. Whether you were a beginner or an experienced yogi, there was something for everyone. The classes were well-paced, challenging yet accessible, and left us feeling both physically and mentally invigorated. But Awaken in Italy was so much more than just yoga. The retreat also offered an array of workshops and activities that helped us delve deeper into our personal growth and self-awareness. From the moment we arrived, Steve and I were captivated by the beauty and tranquility of Italy. The balance between wellness activities, thrilling adventures, and moments of pure relaxation was impeccable. It was evident that Kellie put a lot of thought and effort into crafting the perfect itinerary. The villa we stayed in was absolutely perfect and view was spectacular. Daniella and her family were the epitome of hospitality, making us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. The food they prepared for us was nothing short of extraordinary, each dish bursting with flavor and made with an abundance of love and pride. We savored every bite and appreciated the attention to detail that went into every meal. But beyond the picturesque landscapes and delectable cuisine, what truly made this trip unforgettable were the memories we created together. Our shared experiences, moments of laughter, and the deeper connection we formed have left an indelible mark on our hearts. One of the highlights of this retreat was the sense of community and connection that was fostered among the participants. We were surrounded by like-minded individuals who shared a common desire for growth and personal transformation. The friendships formed during this retreat will undoubtedly last a lifetime, as we supported and uplifted each other throughout our journey. Overall, Awaken in Italy: Yoga & Mindset Retreat with Go Yoga Express exceeded all expectations. It was a transformative experience that left me feeling renewed, inspired, and deeply grateful. If you're looking for a retreat that combines yoga, mindfulness, personal growth, and a touch of magic, then Go Yoga Express retreats are for you. Don't hesitate, take the leap, and embark on an incredible journey with Go Yoga Express. You won't regret it!

We had the BEST retreat group! And I can't say enough about the resort, Amansala and the staff! Everyone was friendly and attentive. It's obvious they enjoy their work. Everything from the yoga shalas (beachfront, rooftop and the list goes on) to the sweat lodge experience came together to create a relaxing, invigorating and life-changing experience. The massage therapists were amazing! The food...the food is so healthy, fresh and delicious. Piles and piles of fresh fruit daily, with the most delightful chia pudding and ginger tea were breakfast staples and the lunches and dinners varied from shrimp and fish tacos to pad thai and more. Papayas, avocado, mangos, fresh, fresh, fresh! We loved it and we'll be back!

It was the most incredible trip I've ever been on! Everything from our transfers to and from the airport to the booking of treatments to our daily schedule was very organized. There was ample time to rest at the beach, go on excursions, schedule massages and do yoga. Amansala was especially helpful and catered hand and foot to our individual needs. I'd go on the next planned retreat in a heartbeat!
