Another top notch trip! I love being able to see the true culture of the people and country. B&B's itinerary is just full enough to experience all that the area has to offer yet allows plenty of free time. The accommodations and service were above my expectations.

Amazing trip! The accommodations at Peacock Pavilion was incredible. And the staff was very attentive and food delicious! The excursions were immersed in culture and is everything you could want to experience. 10 outta 10 trip!

Another fabulous trip with great experiences!! Loved the local experiences to really get a feel for their culture!! Thanks so much for all the effort to make this a great trip!!

This retreat was truly mystical and magical. Every detail was thoughtfully curated—from the luxurious accommodations and exceptional cuisine to the unforgettable cultural experiences. Exploring Marrakesh, riding a camel through the Agafay Desert, experiencing the hammam, and participating in the optional farm-to-table cooking experience using freshly harvested ingredients made this journey extraordinary. Sharing these moments with such an incredible group only enhanced the experience and created lasting connections. I never imagined traveling to the African continent, but this retreat far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend adding Morocco to your bucket list. It was deeply enriching, truly magical, and I can’t wait to travel again with Breathe & Bend Retreats.

⭐ Iceland Travel Review — A Trip I Will Never Forget My time in Iceland is something I’ll carry with me for years. I expected beautiful landscapes and chilly weather, but what I found was so much deeper — a culture that feels peaceful and caring, food that warms the soul, unforgettable experiences, and people who became family. Where We Stayed Our apartments were modern, clean, full of light, and perfectly comfortable — the kind of place you look forward to returning to at the end of a long, adventure-filled day. They were close to everything we needed, surrounded by city charm and snow-covered stillness. Simple, cozy, and perfect. The Culture Icelanders live with intention — calm, respectful, connected to nature, and quietly joyful. Their pace of life slows you down in the best way. There’s no rush, no noise — just presence. People are kind, helpful, and genuine, and the country itself carries a sense of balance most places never achieve. Experiences & Adventures Instead of racing through tourist spots, we lived Iceland. One geothermal pool turned into three — each one different, each warm enough to forget the cold air against your face. The steam rising off the water felt like breathing in relaxation itself. Those moments were grounding, refreshing, and something I didn’t know I needed. Horseback riding across the landscape was unforgettable — Icelandic horses are small, powerful, and gentle, and riding through open scenery with that cold air in your lungs made me feel alive in a way that is hard to put into words. Shopping was its own adventure — sweaters, art, handmade goods, and little treasures you can’t find anywhere else. Iceland has a unique style; everything feels intentional, crafted, and meaningful. And of course — yoga. Moving, stretching, breathing in a foreign place… it hits differently. The body feels stronger, the mind quieter. Practicing yoga in Iceland felt like connecting the world outside with the world inside. It’s the kind of thing that changes you a little. The People — My Favorite Part The best part of the entire trip? The humans. We shared meals, laughs, conversations, and adventures — becoming closer each day. We arrived as travelers but left as friends. The most beautiful part of travel is not the itinerary — it’s the connection, the shared memories, the comfort of knowing we experienced something special together. Final Reflection Iceland was more than a destination — it was a reset. A reminder to breathe. To be present. To enjoy people. To step into adventure. To soak, to laugh, to move, to live. If you ever have the chance to go — don’t hesitate. Let Iceland open you, soften you, ground you. It truly is magic.
