Kelly has once again facilitated an amazing yoga retreat! The retreat venue and all the staff there on Kea Island were so wonderful in supporting us as we settled in to retreat. It was simply beautiful! The grounds, the staff, the wonderful food all locally sourced...all brought a sense of being nurtured. And then there is Kelly, who puts in so much effort to care for each of us. For our physical bodies, our spiritual bodies, our health and our wellbeing. To hold space for us, individually and as a whole, in this way is a gift. I accept this gift with my deepest gratitude and can't wait to join Kelly and the next group of amazing women at the next retreat!

The sunny weather was great. The food was amazing, especially the bread! Swimming in the bay was so much fun. The water was crystal clear and I even saw fish The beach was unique for me as the 'sand' that washed up was pebbles. I can still hear the sound of the pebbles tumbling over each other. The yoga was awesome. I enjoyed it. The setting was beautiful and I enjoyed the trips up and over the top of the island down to the Kea Retreat. Great Views. Driving on 4 wheel drive roads is something I enjoy. I enjoyed the Lion of Kea hike. Such a cool little town to walk through, so different from the way I live. The boat trip to Ancient Kartha was very fun. Hiking up to ruins we could touch was amazing. The history of the way they lived there was interesting. Fun to stand imaging how it was. Kayaking to the cave was very cool. The cave went deeper than I thought. The group dinner in Ioulida was fun. Especially the gelato! The staff at Kea Retreat was amazing! They added so much to the experience. And lastly, Kelly did a great job organizing everything! The amount of care and effort she put in clearly showed. Being able to participate in things I did not have to plan myself was wonderful. Thanks for a great trip.

It was an amazing trip! Kelly did a fantastic job of planning everything out. From the venue to the food and all of our activities, it was all outstanding. I look forward to doing another retreat with Kelly next year! Thank you Kelly for all your hard work to make this an unforgettable experience!

Paradise in Portugal It began with clear and detailed communication from Dr. Kelly. Every question and apprehension was addressed promptly. It was absolutely lovely from the entrance of Quinta Bonita. I was greeted by the most gracious ladies Monica and Tania. Throughout the retreat these ladies went above and beyond. Sharing their knowledge of activities, restaurants, and history. They never hesitated to give their time and knowledge to anyone who asked. The passionate team at the retreat did not stop there. There was Maria and Yolanda who cleaned the rooms and left sprigs of fragrant rosemary. Their attention to detail and hard work did not go unnoticed. Of course there was the daily meals made from fresh local ingredients. Our chefs Olivia and Bella made the most incredible food. It was a feast to our eyes, nourishing, and beyond delicious. Bella and Olivia were so kind in sharing how to prepare the items we were served. Adriana and Syeda were crucial in preparing, serving, and cleaning. Never a complaint heard by any staff memberI. There was such a selflessness and willingness displayed by each of the staff. I am grateful for such an extraordinary experience. A great big THANK YOU to the exceptional staff and the owners who opened their home to us. Awestruck by the gorgeous gardens with multitudes of blooming flowers. Numerous water features throughout the property lent itself to an atmosphere of calm and restoration. The vast property offered numerous places that were a haven for fostering a connection with nature and self. Accommodations invited your body to commune with nature while being able to reflect and unwind in serene surroundings. It is an atmosphere of calm and restoration. Each participant was empowered to make their own decisions of engagement in every segment of the retreat. It was a well-balanced itinerary of various activities incorporating personal time, activities, and connection with others. The variety of yoga that was offered was refreshing and encompassed the many aspects of self-care. I am fortunate to have been included in such a diverse and beautiful group. I reflect on picturesque country, self-reflection, and getting to know some beautiful souls. Dr. Kelly's tremendous amount of effort of making this incredible retreat special for every member is evident. If you are on the fence about attending a retreat. I say GO FOR IT! You will be so glad you did. Put yourself out there. "Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet." - Simon Sinek

Incredible yoga retreat with Kelly in beautiful Portugal! This is my 3rd yoga retreat with Kelly which is a distinct privilege and honor. My yogi friends and I enjoyed Kelly's Yoga 2x most days with a calming, yet wonderfully invigorating morning practice while the evening or late afternoon yoga stretched us out for a good night's sleep. The retreat location of Quinta Bonita was perfectly gorgeous providing delicious, healthy cuisine with our own chefs and fabulously helpful and friendly staff members who felt like family members by the time we had to say goodbye. Looking forward to attending more transformational yoga retreats with Kelly!
