“Jess and Kimaya made us feel at ease from the moment they opened the door at Ria's Retreat. The retreat was nourishing for the soul with a number of great yoga sessions as well as mindful walks and a very special dip in the White Springs, Jess and Kimaya have a wonderful way of making everyone feel safe and welcome regardless of yoga ability. I came away feeling lighter and rejuvenated.”

“Jessie and Kimaya’s retreat was a truly uplifting experience, a brilliant combination of cleansing yoga, beautiful walks, gorgeous food, comfy beds — all done with amazing attention to detail but always very relaxed and with much fun and laughter. On the last morning we did a kundalini shake and I felt a great heavy stone lift off my heart, and have felt clearer, lighter and happier ever since! Highly recommended to anyone.”
