Testimonials

Where do I begin? I have been thinking about doing one of Carli-Ann and Megan’s retreats for a couple of years and when the girls kindly said I could bring my 15 year old daughter with me we took the plunge. It has been the best week we’ve had. We have loved every single minute. It has truly touched us on every level—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The variety of the classes each day kept us engaged and challenged, allowing us to explore new practices and deepen our understanding of yoga. The 2 different styles of yoga complimented each other perfectly as well. The meditation sessions were a massive highlight for me; I absolutely loved how they provided moments of stillness that I so needed and we will continue with this when we get home. The location itself is just pure heaven. Nestled in nature, it is the perfect backdrop for tranquillity and healing, making every moment feel restorative. After spending a week with such an amazing group of people, we are leaving slightly changed—empowered and uplifted in the best way possible. I can honestly say this experience was worth every penny, and I find it hard to leave this beautiful place. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a profound and rejuvenating experience

Where to start! A week spent in the most wonderful peaceful setting. Location was magical, both Carliann and Megan had organised a week of yoga sessions interspersed with plenty of free time to rest and enjoy being with likeminded individuals. If yoga classes are an investment in yourself then this was winning the lottery!

Helen L, UK

Big thanks to The Dream Team Carli and Meg for a wonderful week of yoga rest & relaxation at the beautiful Santillan Retreat in Malaga. Less than 3 hours from UK hidden away in the mountains outside Malaga, Carli & Meg spoilt us with a week of yoga meditation relaxation & delicious food A truly amazing week. Thanks girls you are the best.

This was my first yoga retreat with Carliann and Megan. And what can I say, firstly aesthetically, our accommodation was stunning, welcoming, peaceful and serene - all the ingredients for 5 full days of yoga, meditation, relaxation and good food. Carliann and Megan’s wisdom and knowledge is a power like none other - they are both accommodating in their teaching, bringing philosophy into everyday practice. Working with yin and hatha practices compliments for their classes. They are both two gentle souls who shine brightly for everyone - THANK YOU

Wendy, UK

I've just done a magical retreat led by Carli and Megan. I had never met Carli before, but she is the most wonderful, beautiful human being, I hope we are friends for life. She is such a gifted teacher and has such a passion for yin, which had not been in my practice before but will definitely be in the future. I came here on my own, only knowing a couple of the other people, but they were such a lovely bunch of people, and within a few days i knew everybody. The week has been full of joy and laughter, and of course yoga, it's been amazing! I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Jim, UK

What a fantastic retreat. I felt so relaxed and at ease from the moment I arrived. The view from the outdoor yoga shala of the sea and mountains relaxed my nervous system a further level Megan’s morning practice was such fun. Really playful. I was so relaxed I found myself in poses I wouldn’t have thought of trying. I hadn’t practiced yoga with Megan before and I found it very inclusive accommodating everyone’s ability, gently warming us up and then guiding us into the more advanced version of a pose we were comfortable with. The retreat gives the time and space to play around with poses. I’ve practiced yin with Carli for many years. Being on retreat and having her yin wisdom and philosophy for 4 nights is so nourishing for the soul and the nervous system. Shaking out trapped energy to Ibiza house which surprisingly allows the nervous system to relax so much more is a signature of Carli’s yin. Such fun and yet so restorative . I was undecided whether to join the sound bath as I suffer with tinnitus. Whilst procrastinating by the pool as everyone left, the birds came alive and enjoying the late afternoon sun and the sounds of nature was my sound bath I’ve every intention of coming back next year if it’s possible Thank you Megan and Carli you beautiful people

Helen R, UK

This is my second retreat with Carliann and Megan at the beautiful spaces at Santillan Retreat Centre - a truly magical place. Carliann and Meg are both really experienced teachers - and it shows. You can place your full trust in them and their depth of knowledge and care will support you whether you are new to yoga or just a beginner. It has been a joy to start the day with energising yoga to wake up the body, and a treat to finish the day with yin yoga with a little yoga philosophy woven in. You can see and feel how much this team pay attention to all the little details. They truly care about what they do and the space that they create for people to relax and be themselves. I can highly recommend this retreat. Thank you both
