the experience, in their words.

The most meaningful way to understand a retreat experience is through the words of those who have lived it.

Here are a collection of reflections from past retreat participants, sharing what they experienced, discovered and carried home with them.

Anastasia’s retreat was filled with so much love and light. It was a truly unique experience that I will never forget. I learned so much about my mind, my body, and my heart, and I am deeply grateful for the tools and practices I can now take home with me. They help me return to this calm and quiet state of mind when life around me feels loud. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this beautiful and transformative experience.

For me, Anastasia’s retreat started before it even began. From the moment I decided to book, my self-healing journey was set in motion, and Anastasia supported me in fully committing to it. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, with nothing to stress about. Once there, Anastasia held space for deep connection and guided us to build a toolkit for life like no other. I learned so much about myself, gained tools I’ll carry forever. The entire experience was truly life-changing.

The retreat with Anastasia was truly transformational and deeply healing. It gave me the space and energy to reconnect with who I am and who I want to become. Without this time away, I wouldn’t have made the powerful changes that have already benefited me so much. Today, I continue a daily practice that grounds my nervous system and helps me move through life with an open heart and strong boundaries.

A retreat with Anastasia is by far the best retreat I have experienced. It opened me up not only to myself, but to others as well. I became more present, more aware, and experienced a depth of connection I had never felt before. Anastasia creates a space where you can truly reconnect with what matters most. Opportunities like this don't come around often. Grab them with both hands. Carlie, Australia.

I had wanted to go on a retreat for years but felt nervous about going alone. I loved every minute. The yoga and meditation lifted my soul, the connections were meaningful, and Anastasia held space beautifully throughout the week. It was deeply restorative and exactly the renewal I had been seeking.

The experience helped me establish a meditation practice for the first time and brought a greater sense of lightness, wellbeing and joy into my life.

One of the best investments I have ever made in myself. Every day since Bali I have used the tools and practices I learned on retreat. I can't think of a better way to begin a new year or a new chapter. If I could, I'd start every year this way.
