Testimonials:

  • I have not stopped talking about how amazing the retreat was an how great I feel ever since I came back. I am so, very grateful so have experienced Illuminate and will definitely be booking on again. Well done girls, you should be so proud of yourselves. Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing your time and energy. All my love, B x

  • Thanks heaps Ladies for this one of a kind retreat, my very first one and I'm so happy I came across you as best Yoga Teachers <3 & Illuminate. 5 days retreat is what I was looking for, and is the perfect format to disconnect. The location nestled in Lush country side was and absolute plus. Hope I will return soon !

  • We absolutely loved our time at the Illuminate Yoga Retreat. The setting was absolutely perfect and we are so ever grateful for the experience that you've both created. You are both such lovely souls and made us feel so welcome. Thank you for your time, your energy and your love. We walked away completely blissed out and can't wait for the next time we return xx

  • Thanks Sam and Harri for organising the retreat and having me. Everyone was very welcoming, and even in the short time away from my usual life, the experience left me re-energized and appreciative of how beautiful life can be.

  • Too much to say. The personal touches were what made it outstanding. I felt I had more privacy and ability to be alone this time which was a big deal. I did love the group time and didn’t want to miss a thing. I come home tired but in a good way. The venue was amazing so well thought out. But honestly it is what Harri, Sam and Sophie. Bring. The food and the generosity of offering and portions is a really big deal as was the quality - there is no fault in any of it. There was no discomfort in group time either and that is pretty difficult to achieve. Not much more to say yet so much - the fact that the hosts are a big part was really important too.
