The back to nature yoga retreat was amazing! Excellent yoga instruction that allowed for different levels. Beautiful setting. Delicious food and just a great vibe overall. Autumn and Toni were wonderful. I’ll definitely be returning.

I enthusiastically return to Ambuja Yoga retreats time and again! After exploring other programs, I recognized that the inclusiveness, empowerment, and support at Autumn's events were exactly what I was searching for. There’s undeniable magic in coming together to share our experiences and energy during these retreats. I look forward to the next Ambuja Yoga retreat with great anticipation!

This was my first yoga retreat and in fact my first official yoga class. I was as green as they come. My friend told me how great it was and I had always wanted to learn yoga so I signed up with her with the intention of taking classes for a few months before attending the retreat. As life would have it, I lost a parent shortly after booking and my life turned a bit upside down so I never ended up taking any classes. I was a little nervous about my lack of practice and skill but decided there was no better time than now to dive in and learn. We had around 21 women in our group, every one of them was wonderful, kind, and interesting to talk to. The food was excellent and the location can't be beat. Autumn and Toni shared that if you want to sleep in or go for a walk that you don't have to worry if you miss a session, it's your retreat. I went to every session, I wanted to get the full experience. My body gave me some feedback that the workouts were working and I felt great. I had not stayed in a tipi before, it was awesome. The beds were so comfortable, a new outdoor shower was installed and it too was excellent. The property could not be more peaceful. I enjoyed all of the yoga sessions and the guided meditation. I was in deep reflection often and for the first time in a long time I had slowed my thoughts to reconcile things that had gone on in the past few years. When I came home my friends and family asked how it was and one of the best words that came to me repeatedly was magical. I have already found a local yoga studio that is close to me to continue by practice and have been practicing daily since coming back home. If you are thinking about booking a retreat with Autumn you won't regret it. You will leave a better person with more knowledge about many things but most importantly your true self. I plan to go again next year (with some refined skills) and am looking over a few other destination locations as well. Autumn and Toni are awesome teachers and I highly recommend the retreats they offer, thank you for a great first experience.

I had an amazing experience. A truly magical and transformative retreat. The food was delicious and nourishing. I slept comfy and warm with the song of hooting owls in the air. Pure joy! Best of all was the guidance and support of Autumn and Toni. Thank you ladies with all of my heart!

What a beautiful experience. The right amount of yoga, special sessions and wonderful people! I plan on going again next year!

This was an amazing experience. I went into this retreat with no expectations because I had never experienced anything like this before. Autumn is amazing. She brings with her many different experiences and all of it comes together to make her retreats a joyful experience. I decided to attend this retreat because I am moving through the grief process and this helped me realize that grief will always be there but it does not have to define me. Doing yoga twice a day and then doing afternoon hikes was exactly what my body was looking for. If I wanted to move through grief, I had to get my body moving again. It has helped so much. The food was fantastic. Toni did a great job in the kitchen keeping us all fed. I know she worked very hard at her job but it paid off. Thank you Toni. If you decided to go on one of Autumn’s retreats and you go in with an open heart and mind, I promise you, you will come out differently. There were many activities to do during the days and I decided to do all of it. As long as I was there, I wanted to get as much out of the experience as I could. I am so glad I did. Thank you Autumn for sharing your gifts with us. I will be attending another retreat in the future. This was life changing for me. Thank you.

From the moment I arrived, I knew this yoga retreat was something special! Nestled in a serene, natural setting, it offered the perfect escape from the noise of daily life. Autumn curated a thoughtfully planned schedule reflecting care, mindfulness and intention. The yoga sessions were truly exceptional! I felt completely supported throughout the entire retreat which left me feeling balanced and renewed every day. Beyond the mat the retreat offered fresh nourishing meals thoughtfully prepared by Toni, which that alone felt healing. The hikes and workshops were wonderful and added depth to the experience. The sense of community was powerful! The atmosphere was open, inclusive and genuinely heart centered. I formed meaningful connections that I know will last well beyond the retreat. This experience wasn't just a getaway, it was a reset for my body, mind and soul. If you're looking for retreat that nurtures every part of you, this is it!

This was my third yoga retreat with Autumn. In fact, many of the participants this time were 'repeaters' of Autumn's retreats. We didn't know each other, but we all recognized the quality of experience that Autumn provides---and we all wanted to experience it again. It speaks VOLUMES about Autumn. Several of us jokingly asked her where we were going next year---but we really weren't joking! Autumn does an excellent job researching all of her retreat locations and she personally vets each property beforehand. (I have learned the hard way that not all yoga retreat teachers do so). Another very special aspect of Autumns retreats, besides the AMAZING morning and afternoon yoga, are the excursions that she plans and includes in the price. This year in Thailand we went to a night-market, had a full boating day, and we got a tour of an outdoor Buddhist temple and the surrounding property---really exposing us to the culture and the natural beauty of the area. In a nutshell, her locations are beautiful, her yoga is challenging but do-able, and her price-point is always value packed. MOST IMPORTANTLY, however, is the sense of community and connection that she has fostered and grown over the years. When you arrive you won't be anyones wife/partner/daughter/mom---you will just be seen as YOU. That is priceless. If you are open and want to connect, you will receive so much in return.

Well-organized, relaxing trip emphasizing yoga, community, and good food! This is my second international trip with Autumn and I trust her implicitly. She really cares about each individual having a positive experience and creates a warm sense of community and welcome. And, the yoga is so fun!

Every aspect of this retreat was truly unforgettable. Each morning began with an energizing and accessible yoga flow led by Autumn, setting a positive and centered tone for the day. In the evenings, her calming restorative sessions offered the perfect opportunity to unwind and reflect. Thoughtfully curated excursions, workshops, and group activities added just the right touch of adventure and connection. Autumn’s warm, welcoming energy fostered a supportive and uplifting environment where everyone felt at ease—making it easy to connect deeply with fellow yogis and ourselves. The Samahita Retreat itself was a serene paradise. With its stunning beaches, nourishing and delicious food, and rejuvenating spa treatments, it offered the perfect setting to recharge. The intimate size of the resort and its communal spaces created a beautiful balance between meaningful connection and peaceful solitude. This soul-nourishing experience left me feeling grounded, inspired, and completely re-energized.

Trip of a lifetime! My sister in law and I arrived on the island knowing Autumn and each other, that was it! So we went ahead and tried to meet everyone in the group, including those who arrived late due to the earthquake. I believe you get what you put in, and those interested in connecting with others will naturally gravitate together. I always consider it an open invitation. and dive right in. Those who want to focus on their travel buddy are allowed the space to to that as well. As Autumn always tells us, this is OUR time and we're in charge. We choose what we want to do. Nothing is mandatory. Autumn is the perfect host, she's there when you need her and gives space if that's wanted. I enjoyed being able to sidle up to her after a meal and fawn over the yoga practices. I fully recommend Autumn's retreats to anyone wanting a truly transformative experience. And to hang with a seriously cool group of women. Already saving my pennies for next year :).
