Love notes from our community

"I couldn’t have asked for a better yoga retreat experience. Everything from the yoga practices, to the people, activities, and moments of soul searching was truly special. I came into this retreat thinking I’d fine-tune my yoga poses and learn more about the practice -  but I left with so much more. I’m heading home feeling more grounded, more connected to myself, and better equipped to navigate the real world with a little more calm and perspective. And as an added bonus, I’m leaving with some truly wonderful new friends/yogis too. I wish I could go on these twice a month!"

"If you are looking for an amazing adventure to escape your life for a week, become introspective, and meet amazing new friends, this is the retreat for you. Having the opportunity to take classes from two of the top teachers in the Bay Area was fantastic. I'll definitely attend another retreat of theirs in the future."

"Amazing retreat! Alyssa and Gudrun  thoughtfully orchestrated activities that somehow blended just the right amount of fun activities and time for reflection. This is my second retreat with them and it’s such a special experience. Very grateful."

"Alyssa and Gudrun are the sweetest hosts! Every retreat is carefully curated and feels intentional. I always leave feeling rejuvenated, lighter, and connected. Highly recommend!" 

"This was my second yoga retreat with AGretreats. Alyssa and Gudrun make a wonderful team, creating a truly special experience for everyone who attends. All levels are welcome. It was the perfect opportunity to disconnect and reconnect with myself, and to meet wonderful fellow practitioners. I loved everything — can’t wait to book another retreat!"

"The Tulum Yoga retreat was more than I could’ve imagined. I went with an open mind & an open heart with no solid expectations except yoga. Everything exceeded my expectations. Gudrun & Alyssa curated an absolutely beautiful 5 days of pure magic - from the hotel, to the yoga classes, to the activities, to the dinners & even the invitations of self inquiry. What a special experience!"

"Alyssa and Gudrun are amazing yoga teachers and the retreat experience was perfect.  They cultivated an amazing sense of community and organized great activities for the group to have fun and get to know each other."

"This retreat was the relaxing break I needed from my busy daily life. Gudrun and Alyssa are fantastic instructors—their voice, guidance, music, hands-on assists, and flow are all on point. The location is clean and serene, the food is delicious and light, and the staff were wonderful. I loved my time in Tulum with such a kind, yoga-loving group."

"I always wondered what it would be like to go on a yoga retreat, but was nervous because I didn’t know the instructors. Knowing Alyssa and Gudrun, I knew anywhere we would go would be an incredible journey: first Iceland, then Mendocino and now Tulum! We had an incredible experience and loved the community we've build from attending AG Retreats!" 

"Gudrun and Alyssa led a first-class yoga reset and Iceland adventure that exceeded my expectations. It was the perfect blend of exploration and introspection. The lagoon experiences, hiking, and sightseeing were fantastic. I’m grateful for the friendships I made during this unforgettable trip. The yoga workshops, guided meditation and thought provoking discussions were exactly what I needed to deepen my practice."

"My yoga retreat to Mendocino with AG Retreats was nothing short of amazing—it truly felt like the grown-up version of summer sleep-away camp. From bunking with seven inspiring women, to sharing delicious plant-forward meals by Chef James, to the unforgettable surprise & delight moments from Alyssa and Gudrun—every detail was thoughtfully curated. I loved the balance of group connection and personal downtime to relax and recharge. I’m officially a die-hard AG retreat gal for life—count me in every year! PS: Go ahead and book now—you’ll thank me later!"

"Life changing!  I absolutely adore each and every woman who attended this retreat and I’m forever grateful to Gudrun and Alyssa for all of their work to create this incredible experience and community!"

"The yoga retreat in Iceland was absolutely life-changing—an unforgettable experience that nourished my body, mind, and soul. The beauty of Iceland combined with the practice made it truly magical and transformative. Gudrun and Alyssa were absolutely amazing and made the whole experience even more special!"

"Iceland retreat 2025 was a dream come true! there was enough time to explore the country, move the body and rest the mind. I didn’t know anyone going into the retreat and left with 20 new beautiful friends! Cant wait to explore the world with Alyssa and Gudrun!"

"This was an amazing experience! As someone that is fairly new to yoga (3 years), this experience just solicited my love for the practice and the people! Alyssa and Gudrun never failed to make me feel loved and important! A transformative time that I recommend for  anyone and everyone"

"Thanks to Alyssa and Gudrun for planning a wonderful retreat. Your intentionality to every moment did not go unnoticed. This was much more than a yoga retreat- we all left feeling such a strong sense of community. I certainly hope there is another retreat in my future."

"Thank you Alyssa & Gudrun for curating this very special yoga retreat. I was able to unplug, reset, and focus on my yoga practice under the beautiful setting at Eird Retreat Center in Iceland. It was a very special and unforgettable experience." 

"This was an amazing yoga retreat. Gudrun and Alyssa did incredible job planning. The location was beautiful. The food was delicious. The people were incredible. The country is wonderful. And as expected the YOGA was the best!!” 

"This was a perfect stress free trip. Begins with a relaxing retreat with excellent food and amenities to acclimate to the Iceland time schedule. Calming yoga classes while taking in the breath taking lake, hillsides and wildlife. Well planned site seeing of Iceland's natural treasures. Luxuriating thermal outdoor lagoons overlooking the ocean. A perfectly planned trip to refresh your inner soul."

"Attending a retreat curated by Gudrun and Alyssa was truly magical. The connection formed to your practice, your body, and those around you was unlike any opportunity I have come across. The experience offered a home away from home, giving me a new outlook from both my mind and heart. I will forever be grateful for this experience!"

"Alyssa and Gudrun offered a magical trip, thoughtfully curated creating a new community and a lifetime of memories."
