I had a wonderful time at the cactus blossom yoga retreat. I was particularly impressed by the Breathwork program – it was intensive, profound, and yet safely guided, allowing me to fully open up. The food, freshly cooked by Chef Perla was excellent: varied, delicious, and perfectly tailored to the needs of the retreat participants.

The lovely people I met there were particularly valuable – inspiring, friendly, and I can say I found true friends.. Also Johns two lovely dogs made the atmosphere even more cozy and welcoming.

John himself was a fantastic teacher: competent, empathetic, and motivating. His calm manner helped me gain new perspectives and further develop my yoga. Overall, a thoroughly successful experience that I can warmly recommend to everyone.

My first Bali trip and retreat this year was an unforgettable experience! I made so many beautiful memories during this trip. From the moment I arrived until the last day, I was surrounded by wonderful people, beautiful scenery, and a sense of light and joy.

John is very welcoming and has a special gift of bringing people together with care and intention even before the retreat started. Everything I experienced, the yoga, breath work, the food, and the outings in Ubud, was so nourishing and overall amazing. This retreat has definitely been the highlight of this year for me. Thank you so much John for this incredible experience!

I had no expectations going into this retreat. I wasn’t sure what it was going to be like but I decided to commit to whatever was offered. I learned a lot about myself during breath work and meditation. I challenged myself with yoga and the cold plunge.
John’s gentle leadership and charismatic personality gave me the boosts I needed to keep going. The food provided by Chef Perla was phenomenal. The volunteers provided such a safe, calming environment.
If you’re seeking healing and tools to cope with the pressures of every day life, this is the retreat for you!
