I have a hard time describing what a wonderful time I have had on my yoga retreats. Stephan and Ingrid are both incredibly good teachers, with different and complementary styles. Their retreats are relaxing, integrating, restorative and interesting. There are always options for extra activities, both for those who prefer more vigorous activity and for those who prefer more quiet time. The retreats have provided a deep sense of community and have been a source of long-term friendships. Stephan and Ingrid are attentive to everyone’s needs without being at all intrusive. They have a gift for choosing beautiful places and ensuring delicious food. They are wonderful teachers and wonderful hosts. I hope never to have to miss one of their retreats.

The retreats were everything I dreamed of and so much more—brilliant yoga, magnificent vistas, wholesome and delicious food, terrific rooms and, most important, a gathering of lovely people coalescing around the community Ingrid and Stephan have built. I return restored and renewed, ready and awake for the next chapter of my life.

I didn’t join last year’s retreat, and I spent the whole week regretting it—and I vowed there and then not to make the same mistake again! This will be my fourth week-long retreat with Ingrid and Stephan. And what a treat—a week in great company, with delicious food and warm weather in a beautiful setting, lapping up a new and interesting culture—all that and then several hours a day of blissful yoga practice. I feel so lucky to have found these wonderful retreats.

Ingrid and Stephan's retreats are truly wonderful. Not only do they have a knack for choosing the most beautiful places with stunning accommodations, but they manage to gather around them a truly lovely group of people. I originally went on my first retreat not knowing anyone besides Stephan and Ingrid and was so nervous, but I quickly made connections with the other retreat goers and ended up making life-long friends! They manage to choose places with beautiful accommodations and delicious food and there are two wonderful yoga classes per day. I loved waking up for morning meditation with the sun and then enjoying a beautiful AM class and restorative PM class. Stephan and Ingrid complement each other perfectly and it's wonderful to be able to take two classes per day. I also was always able seek out modifications or more advanced instruction depending on how I was feeling that day. Stephan and Ingrid were always happy to help me tailor my practice towards what I needed. I also really enjoyed the balance of yoga and relaxing with the options to explore the local surroundings. There were plenty of opportunities for adventures or just to simply relax. Overall, I really loved all my trips with Stephan and Ingrid and feel it is a super special experience, and I have joined them on three yoga retreats abroad.
