Retreat. Relax. Refresh. Renew.
A friend introduced me to GYPSET Yoga Retreats and I’m hooked!!
I didn’t know what to expect of a yoga retreat, but what I found was a holistic experience that allowed me to rejuvenate. I came home stronger, healthier, happier and calmer. These retreats are a dynamic mix of yoga, gourmet meals, time for relaxation and a bit of adventure. If you’re looking for a timeout to reinvigorate your health routines, GYPSET is for you!
I was finally able to attend my first yoga retreat with GYPSET Yoga, and it was such an amazing experience. So much gratitude and appreciation for Laurel, Melissa and Brooke. The yoga journey was a perfect balance through practice on the mat daily, friendship, meditation and spiritual blessings from everywhere. Thank You GYPSET Yoga for everything.
Imagine my surprise when my husband gave us a couples yoga retreat to Costa Rica with GYPSET yoga for Christmas. While I have been a certified Bikram Yoga instructor since 2002, my husband had only ever done yoga once before (two very different yoga perspectives). From the minute we arrived in Nosara, the GYPSET team was amazing. No matter what the level of practice, all were immediately welcomed and made comfortable with what lay ahead for us in the next week. And what a week. The setting was gorgeous, peaceful, and relaxing. The other yogis on the retreat were open and warm. The yoga was outstanding – truly gifted guides who brought us through a series of yoga disciplines. We left feeling better physically and closer physically and spiritually than we have in years. We have now started a regular practice together at home (Adrian is now hooked on yoga!) We will definitely be booking another retreat with GYPSET, in another gorgeous location. Thank you Laurel and Melissa – we can’t wait to see you again soon.
I attended my first Yoga retreat with GYPSET Yoga Retreats in Joshua Tree, it was a gift my husband and girls had given me. I signed up as a solo traveler and was paired with someone to share a room. My roommate was great, as she too was a solo traveler. The daily yoga and hiking opportunities were fantastic, as well as the amazing healthy food! Laurel and Melissa attract great people, since they are both so warm and open – that’s who signs up to go on retreat. Over half of those on my retreat were repeat GYPSETTERS and though most knew each other, they were so warm and welcoming. I came as a stranger, but I most definitely left with friends and feeling part of a larger community. Have no fear of traveling solo – it will positively change your life!
Going on-retreat with GYPSET is such an amazing experience. You are instantly among friends and after a week together, you feel like family. I have been on three retreats so far, with five more booked. And I’m sure there will be many more! Yoga with Laurel and Melissa is such a treat. They are both such gifted instructors and the studios on retreat make every practice extra special. The excursions are well curated and bring you to places that are so interesting and beautiful that you are already planning a return trip. And I always love the retreat days, where there is down time to hang out with new friends, read, take a walk, maybe get a massage, and just relax. Meals are always delicious and such a fun communal time to catch up. I can’t recommend GYPSET more highly. I hope to see you on-retreat soon!
I had such a great week in Nosara with Melissa, Laurel and so many interesting, fun, kind women. I flew from Canada to meet a dear friend at the GYPSET retreat. Neither of us had been to a yoga retreat before so weren’t sure exactly what to expect … and it was awesome! Melissa and Laurel made traveling during a pandemic very easy and straight-forward. The whole week was really beautiful, organized and executed. From the shuttles to and from the airport… to delivering an amazing variety of classes… to ensuring delicious food and lovely accommodations…I definitely would recommend attending a GYPSET retreat!
Laurel and Melissa at GYPSET have found a way to create the perfect yoga retreat experience! I recently joined my first GYPSET retreat in Costa Rica where every detail was taken care of. I was able to dive deep within while enjoying a variety of yoga practices (vinyasa, yin, restorative), fitness classes and I found plenty of time for relaxation and local exploration. Practices and classes were open to all experience and fitness levels and the food served during the retreat was healthy and delicious. Whether this is your first yoga retreat or your hundredth you cannot go wrong joining GYPSET Yoga Retreats for your next adventure.
Solo travel is one of my favorite ways to explore! I’m able to embrace more freedom, self-discovery, and adventure. I love how it helps me to meet and connect with others, especially with people that live there. It’s a great way to meet locals, learn and experience even more of the culture. I also loved going on a GYPSET retreat while solo as I’ve met more like-minded people that love to travel just as much as me. It makes it even easier to connect with people that I maybe wouldn’t have ever had an opportunity to meet except through the retreat. Solo travel, whether completely solo or on a retreat, opens up so many opportunities and I highly recommend it (or at least trying it once)!
I absolutely love these yoga retreats! In addition to the physical and mental benefits of eating amazing, fresh food and doing yoga multiple times a day, these retreats are a great way to explore a new destination, stress free. Melissa and Laurell’s retreats strike the perfect balance of scheduled activity vs. unstructured time. You can go on excursions or spend the day relaxing with a good book. If I had to describe a GYPSET Yoga Retreat in 3 words, they are: rejuvenating, relaxing, and centering.
Traveling solo with GYPSET is the perfect combination of freedom to explore and engage with new friends in a setting that feels like home. I am taken care with all the exquisitely manicured details alongside flexible options for activities beyond the yoga classes. New places, fabulous cuisine and gorgeous settings, all crafted for me alongside the choice to relax with a book in a hammock or roam with new pals.
