  • "The yoga retreat with Melissa Gray and Rina Coury was absolutely amazing in every way!"

    Liz S, Costa Rica 2026

  • "This trip was so very remarkable! I enjoyed the early morning mediation walks along the beach with special focus on our reflections in the shining ebb and flow of the waves! Our yoga leaders, Melissa and Rina are wonderful spirits of kindness, generosity, creativity, humor and adventures. I am looking forward to next year's Yoga Retreat with Melissa and Rina."

  • The trip was exactly what I was hoping for and more. Melissa and Rina did an excellent job in planning the trip...the right number of people, different excursions every day if we were interested, beautiful accommodations right on the beach. For me, it was just the right amount of yoga, relaxing and adventuring. Thank you for everything. It's not a trip I'll ever forget. I learned so much and came home with ideas of more that I want to learn...to speak Spanish!"

    Nancy W, Costa Rica 2025

  • “This was such an amazing retreat for us! It was very well organized, we had lots of choice to rest if we needed to or go on fun adventures. Melissa and Rina showed us so much positive energy and attention, they worked very well together and were very supportive of all of us. The yoga was outstanding, they both took care in teaching and guiding. As the trip wound down, I felt strong, relaxed, and blessed.”
