This was my second retreat with DDY, and once again, it was absolutely amazing. Each trip has given me unforgettable memories, and Bali was no exception. The group I was with was incredibly supportive and inspiring—I truly hope our paths cross again. This experience was not only unforgettable, but also exactly what I needed. Thank you for making it all happen!

A beautiful week of yoga, rituals, and activities centered around the chakras. Shelley and Sam provided a warm welcome, inclusive space, and incredible yoga teaching that made this such a wonderful week. The Yoga Life Villa was a gorgeous, luxe location with amazing staff and delicious food. I loved every minute of this experience.

What a beautiful week together-- you have to promise not to wait so long for your next retreat! It was amazing having you on this journey :)

This was my first DDY travels trip and honestly I can't wait to book another already. Everything was well thought out and planned for us. All I had to do was show up and be ready to have fun, and practice yoga in a BEAUTIFUL villa. Sam & Shelley knocked this one out of the park. <3
By Marisa L for Chakra Harmony with Shelley + Sam on Jan 28, 2025
Marisa, it was such a joy to have you on this trip! We can't wait to see you in the Atlanta studio and on our next magical adventure. Thank you so much for being you and being part of this global community!

This was my THIRD retreat with DDY and it was MAGICAL. The venue was amazing, the excursions were fun and paced out well, there was also plenty of time to relax and do things independently, and it was the most beautiful setting I'd ever done yoga in. I'll remember the friends I made forever and definitely feel like I left a piece of my heart there <3 Also, Shelley is a phenomenal host and is a wealth of knowledge in yoga and international travel- she makes you feel confident and supported for sure.

It is always my distinct pleasure to welcome you and Steve on a retreat. You are and always will be family!

The trip was very well curated with good balance of activity and leisure. The only thing that was missing was a visit to a goat farm…Maybe next time🤷🏽‍♀️? Amorgos is lovely island, that is only mildly tricky to get to, but serene once you’re there. I highly recommend taking to opportunity to join Shelley on her next Gretian adventure. When you’re there…definitely indulge in some extra Amorgian cheese on the Greek salads.

How did I forget the goat farm? Noted-- and adding to the next Greece itinerary! We are excited to see you in DR on your next adventure, Jovi!

I was fortunate enough to complete my YTT at the Dominican Tree House Village in El Valle, Samana. I am so thankful for Shelley and being able to share my yoga story. Shelley is a woman of many virtues but my favorite is her being able to hold space for diverse populations in yoga (BIPOC/LGBTQIA+). I was supported during my learning journey, and encouraged throughout my training to continue to create space for other individuals like myself. Our training was well organized, detail oriented, knowledgeable, and a healthy balance between learning, resting, and adventure! I was paired with the best roommate and suite mates ever! I am terrified of being in the jungle but knowing I was there with three other women, made it so worth while. Finally, Emma made the most amazing Dominican cuisine for us daily and the Tree House Staff were so hospitable. I would absolutely go on another training/retreat with Shelley and the crew!

What an amazing trip! This was my second DDY retreat and I will be back for more! The resort was beautiful, with a yoga Shala that looked out over the ocean and has a jungle backdrop! And on top of that, the food was amazing! The variety of both included and optional activities where amazing, in addition to the twice daily yoga. My personal favs were the sound healing, and the Mayan clay ceremony. The fellow retreaters where also amazing and really made it a trip to remember! Can’t wait for the next retreat!
