I am grateful to have joined several of Amelia's retreats. Not only is she a skilled and calming yoga teacher, meditation teacher, and reiki practitioner, she is also an experienced traveller, effective leader, organized, and picks stunning venues steeped in nature and desirable locations. Amelia consistently designs itineraries to nourish body, mind, & soul. She encourages fun, play, and adventure as a way to discover your authentic essence of who you are, and cultivates a compassionate and safe sense of community. Amelia is approachable and accessible to her students. Knowing that my yoga teacher and retreat leader is trustworthy and respectful is a must for me. She is grounded and professional which makes me feel comfortable trusting her as a retreat leader, guiding me in life-changing yoga practices; that all helps me feel like I can relax and be on vacation. She infuses fun into her retreats with her playful personality and offers opportunities to appreciate life and step out of your comfort zone. In Greece she led us in powerful sunrise meditations which touched my soul. During a sunset kayak trip, she gathered us all together to meditate, in our kayaks on the water, as the sun went down. In the Azores I did canyoning down waterfalls, doing things I never, ever thought I would do in my life! Amelia reminds us "if not now, when?" and I have found myself facing and overcoming fears, feeling more confident and courageous. Amelia's retreats are life-changing and inspirational. I also appreciate that her retreat sizes are smaller making it easier to make connections & friendships. I attended a large retreat once and it felt overwhelming, loud, and did not suit my more introverted personality. I barely talked to the retreat leader. There just was not time for one-on-one conversations with the teacher(s). It was good in its own way but, not how I prefer to vacation. I can't say enough positive things about Amelia's retreats! I highly recommend you joining her! I'm excited to be joining her 2025 Bali retreat!
