The trip was everything and more than I could have hoped. Nikki’s an exceptionally caring, gifted instructor and also all managed the planning and execution of the retreat masterfully. Everything was made abundantly clear to us, communications were clear and simple, and the week ran smoothly without a single hitch, which is a rarity in overseas travel. Her choice of venue was marvelous - the casitas were are immaculate, expansive, indulgent, beautifully sited on the hills above the ocean. Yoga classes and meals on the beach were perfect - the ocean was right there along with the sound of the waves and seabirds, warm ocean breezes, up close views of whales, filtered sunlight through the palm trees and thatched roof. The food was excellent - wholesome, delicious and safe to eat even for those among us with more delicate constitutions. The trip came with all kinds of extras too including a boat trip, dinner at a pocket beach, margarita and tortilla making lessons, a bonfire, and even fireworks one night. It was the perfect balance of rest and relaxation, terrific yoga and merriment. Highly recommended!
