There are currently no upcoming retreats scheduled.  Please be sure to check back regularly, as the 'rumblings' of retreat seem to be whispering consistently, and surely in 2010 we will have the opportunity to live and practice on retreat together.  Please see below for past retreats.

Maya Tulum: Tulum, Mexico November 2008

"I must admit I was a little bit apprehensive about being a mostly self-taught beginner and going to a retreat that included practice twice a day, but you made me feel so at ease and welcome that those feelings vanished the first day." —Tina

"Thank you for providing a space for healing; now that I'm home, I continue to realize how huge the insights I gained and the benefits I reaped during our week together are." —Stephanie

"Thank you so much for sharing your obvious love of yoga with us. I can't tell you what a difference this retreat has made in my outlook and I truly feel that I'm bringing my newfound hope and optimism home with me." —Anna

Maya Tulum: Tulum, Mexico November 2007

"This Learning To Listen retreat was deeply rejuvenating.  I'm coming back." —Kristen

Maya Tulum: Tulum, Mexico September 2006

"I came to the retreat with a critical eye; I left with an open mind and tender heart." —Mary 

"I highly recommend this retreat for anyone who wants to expand their mind, body, and spirit in an amazingly beautiful paradise." —Neil 

"This was my first yoga retreat and I am so happy to have found such an incredible 'gift' for myself.  Maya Tulum was simply gorgeous and inspirational – the sea, the spa, the palapas – magical." —Jen P. 

"I'm going home with way more than I came here with!" —Jen F. 

“I came expecting some work with my intention – giving and receiving love.  I am leaving with more love than I could ever imagine – a new community, a new joy in my yoga practice, and a deeper belief in the power of intention." —Erin

Wilbur Hotsprings: Wilbur, CA July 2006

Yoga Magic: Goa, India March 2006

"I read and was told that India is a place of contradictions, yet you can never understand the enormity of that statement until you experience it.  You don't visit India, you experience it.  Being on the retreat was in this same spirit, an experience that you have to have on your own, and I recommend it ... if you want to explore that inner you, the world you live in and the world around you, this retreat will give you the tools required to handle the job.  I would do it again." —Daniel

“Jonathan and Jen's retreat to India was a very unique experience, and Yoga Magic was the perfect setting for the work that we did.  Their different styles of teaching complimented each other beautifully, and thus the experience had both Ying and Yang elements.  The power and magic of India also played an important role in this very transformational experience.  I'm soooooooo glad that I did it." —Wendy

Maya Tulum: Tulum, Mexico June 2005

"Jen’s class was a welcome delight. Her style was challenging, expressing itself through a luxurious, complex and slower format that balanced Jonathan’s rigorous classes beautifully." -Stephanie

Back to Earth Yoga & Backpacking: Yosemite, CA July 2005

"Jen had a gift for knowing what our group needed - sometimes inspiring us with her intensity - sometimes warming our hearts with her humor and playfulness. She grounded us in the essentials: breath, gaze, intention, and alignment; then encouraged us upwards on the path to liberation of heart, body, and mind. I look forward to classes, workshops, and retreats with her in the future." -Duncan
