"I'm a huge fan of Jennison's yoga retreats. Jennison clearly puts so much thought and care into creating these retreats. When that is combined with the wonderful groups of women who attend, the gorgeous destinations, and the fact that literally everything is taken care of for retreaters, the result is always a really relaxing, enjoyable trip with plenty of laughter, delicious food and reliably fantastic yoga classes!"
"Amazing, in every way possible. You feel like you are part of a family/community as soon as you start the trip. Everyone has this amazing energy within them and makes you feel supported and understood. The yoga workshops and journaling also challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and have a deeper connection with yourself. As I said, amazing."
"Jennison brings together a perfect package for a yoga retreat. Yoga, location, food and fun. I love that you can also spend time with your fellow retreaters or just do your own thing, these retreats give you the time to reflect, plan or just relax."
"I loved the experience. It was a mini holiday in Italy, with a lot of lovely ladies, good food, good wine and relaxing yoga classes. I forgot how beautiful Italy is. The combination of Italy, the connection with the ladies, the fun activities, yoga classes and Jennison made the perfect retreat for me. I loved it."
"Just wonderful!"
"Although the yoga is very meditative and deep I loved the sense of playfulness in all of the sessions and group dinners which made everything so fun as well as very uplifting."
"Jennison, I was really moved by this retreat and you reminded me and gave me many tools to develop some things about myself. Thank you! You are such a unique person and make such special experiences."
"Amazing experience."
"The classes for me were the highlight because the environment was perfect- the beautiful mountain view in the background combined with essential oils, personal adjustments and massages in the yin class was extremely relaxing for me and helped me to stay in the moment."
"This was a sublime retreat in a stunning location with delicious food! I can't wait to go back."
"So welcoming! It's just a great experience!"
"In a nutshell; a wonderful chance to experience yoga, meditation and intention setting with friendly, like-minded people in a beautiful location. Lots of attention to detail and extra treats woven in to the experience make Jennison´s retreats special."
"It is a great opportunity to get out of the city and go to a place surrounded by nature where you can enjoy good company, peace and quiet, and take some time out for yourself."
"Jennison prepares everything so detailed and you can tell it comes from her heart. She is the reason why everyone loves her retreats, she is so loving and caring and makes us bond with one another. SHE is unique and special and makes everything around her as special as her."
"A weekend was the perfect amount of time to discover this hidden gem in the mountains of Castellón, where I met friendly and open like-minded people, worked on my yoga practice in different styles, and enjoyed time for relaxing and discovering nature, and eating fresh vegetarian cuisine all set to breathtaking views and perfect weather. Having all costs included, it is a really manageable and economical way to pamper yourself."
