This retreat honestly exceeded every expectation I had. Montezuma is a special little town, and Ylang Ylang was the perfect setting — peaceful, beautiful, and completely relaxing. Even my beach dome room felt like a sanctuary.
Ali’s yoga teaching was exceptional. Each session somehow met me exactly where I was physically that day. I arrived with a few persistent aches, and she thoughtfully offered alternatives so I could participate fully without discomfort. I felt both challenged and cared for, which is a rare combination.
I also tried several of the optional activities, and they were run with the same level of quality and intention as the yoga and the property itself.
I left feeling restored and grounded — and I fully intend to return next year.
