Maya Tulum: Mexico, September 2006

(with Jonathan Reynolds & Jen Burk Reynolds)

"I came to the retreat with a critical eye; I left with an open mind and tender heart." —Mary

"I highly recommend this retreat for anyone who wants to expand their mind, body, and spirit in an amazingly beautiful paradise." —Neil

"This was my first yoga retreat and I am so happy to have found such an incredible 'gift' for myself.  Maya Tulum was simply gorgeous and inspirational – the sea, the spa, the palapas – magical." —Jen P.

"I'm going home with way more than I came here with!" —Jen F.

“I came expecting some work with my intention – giving and receiving love.  I am leaving with more love than I could ever imagine – a new community, a new joy in my yoga practice, and a deeper belief in the power of intention." —Erin

Yoga Magic: India, March 2006

(with Jonathan Reynolds & Jen Burk Reynolds)

"I read and was told that India is a place of contradictions, yet you can never understand the enormity of that statement until you experience India.  You don't visit India, you experience it.  Being on the retreat was in this same spirit, an experience that you have to have on your own, and I recommend it.  The 'heart circles' as I call them, to the holding of postures, to Jonathan's never ending drive to expand one's self by becoming ultra familiar with that which holds one back, are all intense experiences that leave you thinking, "what just happened?"  If you want to explore that inner you, the world you live in and the world around you, this retreat will give you the tools required to handle the job.  I would do it again." —Daniel

“Jonathan and Jen's retreat to India was a very unique experience, and Yoga Magic was the perfect setting for the work that we did.  Their different styles of teaching complimented each other beautifully, and thus the experience had both Ying and Yang elements.  The power and magic of India also played an important role in this very transformational experience.  I'm soooooooo glad that I did it." —Wendy

Maya Tulum: Mexico, June 2005

(with Jonathan Reynolds, Jen Burk Reynolds assisting)

"I am still glowing from our week of yoga, eating, sleeping and eating ... oh yeah ... and the processing.  Thanks again everyone, for an amazing week in the Yucatan." —Albert

"The retreat in Maya Tulum was intense, exhausting at times and challenging; and because of this very satisfying.  In addition to the twice daily asana practices, Jonathan weaved yoga into the threads of our lives and provided us a forum to discuss our experiences.  As a result, I became more present to other aspects of my life, and have also strengthened my home practice.  At the end of the day the retreat will be what you make of it, but if any growth or transformation is at all possible, then it will happen thanks to the atmosphere Jonathan creates." —Miya

"I came to Mexico not knowing what to expect; I left being comfortable with that.  Jonathan has an uncanny ability to allow you to have a silent conversation with yourself, and thus to be truly present in the moment.  His intuitive and nurturing presence takes me to a higher level of awareness, an understanding that each of us is indeed a teacher of each yoga class.  He encouraged all of us to go deeper via softer, unconventional ways.  The retreat led me to view yoga from a holistic perspective, thus understanding and practicing yoga as an expression of my entire life.  Jen’s class was a welcome delight that was equally challenging, expressing itself through a luxurious, complex and slower format.  It balanced Jonathan’s rigorous vinyasa classes beautifully." —Stephanie

"The retreat in Maya Tulum was a profound experience.  I came with the intention of strengthening my yoga practice, and left with a completely new outlook on my life.  Jonathan provided a unique forum for personal transformation through his wonderful teaching both on and off the mat." —Christy

"Thank you for an enlightening week in Tulum.  I enjoyed your classes and your guidance, and appreciate all that you gave to me." —Erica
