Global Retreats + Adventures

"All of the communication before, during, and after the retreat was amazing - you were never left wondering what was going on. Everything was planned perfectly, the retreat property was amazing, and the food was divine. It really was a life-changing experience, and I think a lot of that was due to the planned activities and the structure of the retreat. Marrakech and the surrounding areas are a must see, but Above Yoga made it a bucket list destination. I’m really excited to go on more retreats and share these great experiences with my partner!"

- Allie, Durham, NC (Morocco Retreat, 2024)

“This was my first ‘group travel’ experience, and it was perfect from start to finish. Though I often travel alone, this was a part of the world I wasn't sure I felt comfortable going solo. Anna was able to apply her experiences from scouting the trip to allow us to experience the best of what this part of SE Asia had to offer. The pre-trip information was comprehensive and very informative in setting expectations. The variety of activities offered was perfect and uniquely showcased the best of Cambodia.”

- Pamela, New York, NY (Cambodia Retreat, 2020)

“This retreat well surpassed any expectation I had going into it. Anna's attention to every aspect of the experience is second to none. From the moment you arrive, it is obvious that she has done her homework on the retreat location, activities that appeal to everyone's interests, is well-versed in local culture, and is prepared to offer a grade A hospitality experience. Whether you are a yoga instructor or have never practiced, Anna's retreats are for everyone. Going into it I felt that the retreat was a little out of my comfort zone, but the people that Anna surrounds herself with are just as welcoming as she is.”

- Shannon, Charlotte, NC (Ireland Retreat, 2018)

“Words cannot describe how incredible this trip was! From the moment I signed up, there was steady and clear communication - I didn't have to worry about a thing. This remained consistent throughout the trip, with a number of wonderful activities planned. Additionally, Anna did an incredible job of coordinating any free time activities someone wanted to take part in. Her coordination and organization throughout the trip allowed for the perfect vacation. I would also like to add the itinerary provided was excellent!”

- Jen W., Washington, DC (Cambodia Retreat, 2020)

"First, let’s just say that if you’re hesitating about travelling internationally in this confusing and ever-changing COVID landscape, you can go blindly with Anna and Above Yoga - I cannot imagine a safer way to travel right now. Anna is ON TOP OF IT. And the retreat itself- the most amazing week I’ve had in a long time. As an extremely busy working mom, I was so looking forward to not having to think about any plans or meals, and this week was heaven. Yoga twice a day, meditation, journaling, healthy meals, lovely conversation, interesting excursions, time to relax, etc. I wouldn’t change a thing."

- Erin, Dallas, TX (Coastal Morocco Retreat, 2021)

"My recent Above Yoga Retreats experience surpassed all my expectations. The cottages were stunning and provided the perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and connection to nature. We encountered more wildlife than I could ever imagine, from lions to cheetahs and everything in between. The safari guides were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so much fun to spend time with. I appreciated the freedom to skip a yoga class or an excursion without feeling obligated, allowing me to truly relax and recharge. The value of this retreat significantly exceeded the cost. It was an unforgettable trip that I will cherish forever!"

- Amanda, Milwaukee, WI (Kenya Retreat, 2024)

"This trip was worth every bit of anxiety I had leading up to it. Once I got on the plane, it was all smooth sailing! Anna did an amazing job of keeping us updated leading up to the trip on the COVID situation in Morocco. The accommodations were 100% perfect. The food was AMAZING, and I would eat that way every day if I could. The staff were helpful and accommodating. I loved the variety of yoga classes offered. I usually prefer a sweaty vinyasa flow, so it was good to get some of that, as well as try some new types of yoga. Overall, the entire trip was well-planned, well-balanced and FUN. "

- Meghan, St. Paul, MN (Coastal Morocco Retreat, 2021)

" Anna, I am compelled to tell you how wonderful and grateful I am for the amazing trip to Panama. It was curated to perfection and very clear that you worked really hard on it. I cannot say with enough emphasis how truly lovely experience was. The staff was absolutely incredible and welcoming and lovely. The food was delicious. Meg was such a solid leader and trustworthy guide/teacher. Jen is the most amazing and wonderful host as are Jenny and Carol. I am shouting their praises, everyone, I see this week!!! I hope to join in another above yoga retreat in the near future, and want to personally thank you for your pristine, curating abilities!!!"

- Jess, St. Paul, MN (Panama Retreat, 2024)

“(The) South of France was my second retreat with Above Yoga. I love how detailed Anna is with her retreats. The pre-trip organization (flight/travel assistance, packing list, weather updates) is top notch. I also love the groups of people she cultivates to join her on trips. Her retreats are a perfect mix for me of yoga, adventure, and tourism!”

– Katie, Charlotte, NC (France Retreat 2019)

"I loved how easy this experience was. Aside from booking flights, some logistics in/around Panama City (also super easy with all of the great recommendations!) and getting travel insurance, I didn't have to do much other than review the recommended packing list and decide which activities I wanted to do. Anna and the retreat leaders made everything feel so seamless which I know is not a low lift behind the scenes."

- Meagan, St. Paul, MN (Panama Retreat, 2024)

"'From start to finish this trip was a wonderful experience. Anna is wonderful with communication, there is no stone left unturned. Every detail has been considered which makes the travel process so easy. All you have to do is get there, and once you do it even gets better. The staff was amazing, the game drives were so wonderful, all of the food was fantastic and the schedule was perfect. I cannot recommend this trip enough. It was a bucket lister for me and I cannot be more grateful for my experience. Thank you Above Yoga for the opportunity and the adventure!"

- Sarah, Cornelius, NC (Kenya Retreat, 2024)

"What a wonderful retreat! Above Yoga takes care of every detail making travel stress free and easy. Although I went for yoga, sun and relaxation, I came away grateful for the time spent with new friends exploring a new country. The nature walk and swim in the cenotes were the highlight of the trip."

- Melissa, Downers Grove, IL (Dominican Retreat, 2021)
