Fall Women's Retreat 2009:
"Thanks Shelly, for another wonderfully satisfying and rejuvenating weekend. I appreciated your willingness to accommodate my special requests, and for always making me feel welcome. I always look forward to the Yoga, and love it that you introduce new pieces to the program - the Kirtan chanting & digestive/abdominal movements were great additions to our routine. I am excited to come back! Best wishes always."

"This is my second retreat but this is not my last. Once you have been to a retreat you will enjoy anticipating the next."
- Sherry
"We have all come to realize this is actually foodie yoga! Another great weekend, again it went too fast. There was a discussion about a couples retreat and I am counting the days for that one! Thank you Shelly!"
- Barb
"Great experience, very good for the soul. Beautiful Inn & great food."
- Susan
"As always, I totally was at peace and needed a "tune-up" for the kinks in my body and spirituality. This Yoga retreat is not only for plus sizes, but for all shapes and sizes. I love the small size of our group and have formed friendship with all and the staff at the Wild Iris Inn."
- Susie
Spring Women's Retreat 2009:
"A weekend of pure enjoyment for the soul! I feel rejuvenated and happy, and thankful for this time to focus on myself and my well being. The whole experience - from the Inn and the fabulous food; the peace of the yoga; to the pleasure of the company of the other women - is something I wish everyone would have the chance to enjoy in their lives. Peace and good wishes, Shelly! See you in October!"
- Paige

"Again Shelly - fabulous time! Wild Iris Inn is a perfect spot. Loved the variety of Yoga. See you in the fall, wish it was sooner!"
- Barb
"I loved the whole experience. I never thought I would be worn out from all the great food I ate and all the Yoga I did, but it was great! I think next time I really need to go easy on the food as I was stuffed! I love these cookies!!! Thank you Shelly for all your hard work!!"
- Susan
"The retreat was my second time here and this time I am more relaxed and rested. I would recommend the retreat to several of my co-workers and even my friends in the rock and roll world."
- Susie
"This is one of the nicest things I have done for myself in years. Being away from the cares of the world and getting to do Yoga, be pampered and meet new people is an outstanding experience."
- Sherry
Fall Women's Retreat 2008:
"I truly enjoyed my time at the yoga retreat. It was a time for me to take care of myself, and I felt grateful to be amidst such caring, lovely people. Thank you Shelly for providing such a warm, welcoming experience, for gently guiding me through the yoga and meditation, and just allowing me the time to enjoy it all. It was peaceful and relaxing and the Inn was a wonderful treat. Best wishes for your health and happiness always."
-Page
"Shelly! The yoga retreat was totally relaxing for me. I felt totally comfortable with the small class as the feeling of getting individual attention was given by you to me. Keep having the retreats as we need to relax in our fast paced life we have. Keep up the good work."
-Susie
"Thanks so much Shelly. It was very nice. I found myself wanting more yoga, wanting the retreat to be just a little longer maybe one more night? It was over too quick. Obviously the food and accommodations were great. I hope you do it again in the spring."
-Barb
"I had a great time. My work week was very stressful and being able to come do yoga with you and the others really helped me relax , which is just what I needed! I need to start coming to your weekday classes."
-Megan
"It was a little over a week out from my knee surgery and I was still wanting to attend the retreat. I was having some discomfort during the yoga class so just relaxed during some of the postures. Although I could not participate in all the moves, I came away very relaxed. The following morning I found I could move and walk much better. I guess the tension needed to be released."
-Veronica
Fall Women's Retreat 2007:
"The retreat was great! Perfect time, perfect poses. No feeling
awkward, just relaxed. Shelly is a good teacher who takes her time with
students, making sure each one understands the pose and is comfortable.
I'm already looking forward to the next retreat."
- Christina
"I have never done anything like this before - what a great gift
to myself. I felt like I was accomplishing something good for myself
physically and mentally. A wonderful atmosphere of sorority and
community. A new world for me - positive, healthy and healing. I can't
wait for the next one. So non-intimidating and the food was wonderful. Went by so fast."
-Melanie
"It was very relaxing. In the hectic day in and day out of life,
it was wonderful to spend time just dedicated to me. The food was
fantastic and so was the company. I felt like I bonded with each and
every one of the people here. Shelly is so not intimidating."
-Holly
"It was very enjoyable. A refreshing treat, well planned! Good
healthy food. A wonderful way to reconnect with your inner self and
others to know that we all are here together to rejuvenate. Thanks for
a wonderful time!"
