Literally life changing! This trip helped me come to terms with some hard truths, and change in ways I've wanted to for years! Especially my diet! I loved the food so much that when I got home I totally cut out all the red meat and chicken I was eating!

Our retreat to Guatemala exceeded our expectations, from booking, all the way through to our return, everything was carefully planned and organized leaving us to simply enjoy our experience. The resort at Isle Verde was charming and the staff was friendly and inviting. Shayla and Melonie created the appropriate amount of structure with yoga and group activities balanced with down time to do your own exploring or relaxing. We enjoyed 2 yoga sessions a day with planned group activity that included stand up paddle boarding, a cooking class and an amazing sunrise mountain hike. I would highly recommend attending this retreat or others being organized by Shayla and the Ignite team!!!

What a week! Everything was so well organized from the twice daily yoga sessions with a stunning backdrop of volcanoes, mountains, lake. It was so memorable. The logistics were so well organized - all the transportation was on time and easy. The food was healthy and delicious. Lodging was clean and comfortable. The places selected immersed us in the culture and geography. Hiking, paddle boarding, swimming - you could do everything or do nothing- it was a really perfect week. You could tell Shayla thought through everything while still allowing the necessary downtime/open time to be restored. Loved it so much!!

This retreat was incredible. Great attention to detail in the planning was obvious in every excursion, class, accommodation. Not Just that things ran smoothly but that the events, locations, classes, experiences were so intentional and thoughtful. I took this trip in an attempt to make some time for myself, have space to think, and enjoy a wonderful adventure. I certainly accomplished all that and more, and had so much confidence in those who planned and accomplished the trip. The food was amazing. Delicious but also colorful, nourishing, satisfying. Breathe taking views, safe environment, comfortable amenities, helpful kind staff, enriching classes and practices. I was so filled in every way.

This was such an incredible experience from start to finish. Shayla and Melanie did a great job with planning. We had ample time to both explore the area and get some much needed rest/relaxation. The resort was absolutely beautiful and all of the staff was very accommodating.

I had the most incredible experience at The Salty Escape in Nicaragua with Shayla and Rachel! The resort itself was stunning—peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by lush nature and amazing wildlife. The schedule was perfectly balanced, giving me plenty of time to do everything I wanted without ever feeling rushed. Rachel & Shayla were phenomenal—supportive, knowledgeable, and truly inspiring (as always). Surfing was the highlight of the trip—it was so much fun and such a great way to connect with the ocean and the group. I left feeling refreshed, energized, and already dreaming about coming back!
