YOAS Yoga Retreats

Tigmi is a perfect place for a yoga retreat. Charlie our yoga teacher was excellent and incredibly patient with a class of very mixed abilities. Although it was incredibly hot there was always a wonderful breeze at the resort. They were working tirelessly to resolve the minor structural damage from the earthquake. I would definitely recommend Tigmi for a rest and recuperation. X

Accessible yoga retreats price wise. I've returned to the same place because I feel as though I struck gold first time. The amazing teacher has changed my life, as has the outstanding location and the group of people who came together randomly. Very basic accommodation more than made up by wonderful smiles throughout the week. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a retreat on a budget

Had a wonderful weekend at Pauntley Court with Catherine. Stunning venue! We were lucky enough to have a wood burner and a free standing bath in our accommodation. The yoga was great. I learnt how to get into a really good downward dog. The food was amazing too.

This was my first yoga retreat but it won't be my last with YOAS. It was absolute perfection. Nancy Lea is the most wonderful and beautiful yoga teacher. I felt physically and mentally renewed and refreshed after a week of classes with her. The retreat center was incredible. The rural setting with a shaded outside platform for morning sessions was the perfect place to practice yoga. The food was delicious; the breakfasts were my favorite!! The surrounding area was fun to explore and there were a variety of activities to do during off time from hiking to swimming to exploring beaches and cute towns. I made friends from around the world as well! Communication from YOAS was excellent and we had no problems along the way. I loved this retreat. This was an unforgettable week. Thank you!

My yoga holiday was in October 2023, at Finca Argayall on the island of La Gomera.What a magical week. I booked the yoga retreat as Jess Horn was the teacher and I'd experienced her teaching the year previous.It's a bit of an adventure to get to the island and then the finca, but that added to the experience and allows for a story to tell your family and friends when home.Jess provides a very safe space to explore your yoga practice and healing journey and the finca added to this experience.The food was just delightful, with so many wonderful flavours and I definitely took full advantage of the three meals a day. There were so many great places to eat your meals, with tables overlooking the beach, or pool or under cover near the kitchen. As the finca is run by a community and volunteers, we all helped by servicing ourselves and clearing our plates. Home away from home feeling.My friend and I had an ensuite bathroom, with our room having both a front view of the sea and a small balcony, at the back of the room with a jungle view (Room 6). Lots of space in the room, including storage.The yoga classes were twice a day and Jess is such a fantastic teacher, totally allowing each of us in the room to get the most out of each session.I would recommend YOAS every time, they always have a fantastic groups attend each retreat. Finca Argayall now has a special place in my heart - a fab holiday.

What a beautifully memorable experience at the Rajasthan yoga retreat 2023! Led by the wonderfully experienced, patient and friendly yogi Rebecca; the location was stunning; accommodation/ food beyond expectations and other guests couldn't have been better. The right mix of yoga, day trips and own time. For two young professionals who were taking a break between jobs it, was just the recuperation and travel which was required. Thoroughly recommend and bring on the next trip! P.S. get to the village to do a chai crawl and remember your binoculars for a fantastic early morning bird watching amble.

I attended a yoga retreat on the island of Kefalonia in October 2023. The retreat was absolutely magical. I arrived not really knowing what to expect and I left feeling so joyful. The location was stunningly beautiful, the villa and the owners were wonderful and Dory the teacher was fantastic. This was my first ever retreat abroad and I will definitely be booking again with YOAS. The whole process felt really smooth and easy. So grateful!

My one star rating is purely for the customer service that I received from YOAS on my last retreat. Having stated that everyone should be at the venue before 23.00. My incoming flight had changed when I asked if there would be anyone available to wait up for me I was told this was DEFINITELY not possible. I was told to purchase another flight. To my utter surprise at the welcome meeting i discovered that at least 5 people from the YOAS group arrived at 24.30. I did contact Wendy and was not offered an apology or reason for this which was extremely disappointing. I began my yoga journey with the founder of YOAS who was a very special friend and one of my first retreats was with her in Dahab. Since then I have been on at least 15 retreats with YOAS in various locations. I am aware that this is a business and you must have guidelines to adhere too so that things run smoothly. However sometimes we need to show some kindness and compassion towards each other.

Lisa Powell’s yoga at Vigla Village allowed our collective light to shine. Through Lisa’s encouragement, teaching & inclusivity, we were all able to engage in her classes. Challenge being available for those participants needing it & a toolbox of options available to suit individual abilities. Lisa’s wealth of knowledge shone throughout our week and the theme ‘Celebrate Your Life’ couldn’t have been more apt. Thank you Lisa for your wisdom, guidance and ability to value each & every one of us, our lights are beaming!!
