"This was an amazing retreat. I am so glad I went. A stunning, relaxing venue, amazing food, and wonderful women. A great balance of scheduled and free time. Donna is an outstanding yoga teacher, I felt myself getting stronger and more confident in just the one week of classes. The workshops and meditations were impactful and helped me discern direction and steps for when I return home. Thank you Donna!!! ~ Patti
"The Donna Davis retreat created a beautiful unique experience that invited you to challenge yourself to try new things in a beautiful environment.
Donna is a magnet who attracts amazing powerful women who are in harmony. Her rapport, respect, and relationship with Annie was fantastic. They are a very cool team with multiple talent. The combo of yoga, writing and conversation workshops, along with excursions and unique opportunities, as well as personal time, and the dance party on the last night rocked! Coming back next year" ~ Mary

"I first joined to spend a week with my friends, and discovered that Donna and Annie brought together so much talent and experience to weave athletic and philosophical aspects of yoga. They kept it real, down to earth, supportive, safe, and fun building a sense of community among incredible women from diverse backgrounds.
