A retreat with Mandy is deeply nourishing on so many levels. She skillfully curated practices drawn from all realms of yoga to help to root the body into the earth and lift the heart to the sky. Encouraging heartfelt listening and awareness. Minuvida was the ideal partner. From the lush beauty of the gardens to the warm welcome of the hosts. The delicious authentic home cooked food & comfort of our accommodation provided its own rest, nourishment & connection. Thank you Mandy

Wonderful retreat in the Azores. Came away feeling relaxed, refreshed, rejuvenated & motivated. A perfect blend of yoga practice sessions, free time, special excursions to the thermal pools, a guided hike in the hills amongst waterfalls and fresh water springs. An idyllic setting.

My 4th yoga with Mandy Brinkley and it only gets better. This fall we were in San Miguel , in the Azores. We were hosted at Quinto Minuvida . A lovely eco friendly guest house. Mandy's retreats are very wholesome. She always introduces her participants to new and innovative approaches to integrate into your practice. You leave feeling renewed.

Wow! What a wonderful and memorable five days of Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation with Mandy - I wish it were longer. This immersive Retreat was just what I needed to reconnect with Yoga practice, learn to trust my tired body, still my busy mind and connect with a deep sense of inner peace and stillness. Mandy made the Yoga sessions accessible to everyone in the group, offering a wide range of practices, asanas, sessions, and optional enriching activities. The carefully designed sessions were spacious enough to explore all the elements of Yoga in a safe and gently supported way. The retreat was ideal for solo travellers to meet and connect with like-minded souls through shared practices. I highly recommend Mandy Brinkley's Retreats and Classes.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a yoga Retreat called Ostara's Promise, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine care, setting the tone for the entire retreat. The retreat was held at Casa Fuzetta ,a stunning house in Olhao Portugal.. It was the perfect backdrop for reflection, relaxation, and personal growth The facilitator , Mandy Brinkley is truly exceptional. Her, expertise and passion were evident in every interaction. She created a safe, nurturing space for everyone to share, explore, and evolve. l. I felt deeply supported throughout the retreat.Mandy's Retreat offers a well-balanced mix of mindfulness, self-discovery, and personal development activities. Each session was thoughtfully designed to guide participants on a journey of introspection, healing, and growth. Whether through guided meditation, workshops on emotional well-being, or intimate group discussions, every part of the program felt intentional and enriching. One of the most powerful aspects of the Ostara Retreat was the sense of community. Everyone was there for their own personal reasons, yet we all came together to share our stories and experiences. The connections formed during the retreat were meaningful and lasting. It was a space where vulnerability was embraced, and we could all grow together in an atmosphere of compassion and respect. Leaving the retreat, I felt rejuvenated, more grounded, and with a deeper understanding of myself. The retreat exceeded all my expectations, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it. If you're looking for a life-changing experience that nurtures both your mind and spirit, join Mandy Brinkley on her next retreat. I can’t recommend it enough! Denyse Burns March 2025
