"Before I went to Dominica, I was (at best) a yoga rookie. Despite having gone to classes on and off for years, I pursued my practice as though it were a casual sport or a minor pastime, meant to make me feel good about myself once or twice a week. I don't think I ever really "got it" until I boarded a plane and landed in the middle of a random island in the West Indies.
Chrissy's retreat kicked my yoga practice into gear. But even more importantly, the retreat--but really, Chrissy--introduced me to my practice. I finally understood what it meant to practice. To not look for quick, instant results. To work towards something, but at the same time be satisfied with where I am at that very moment.
2 years later, I can attribute the strength of (and my devotion to) my practice to my experience that first year at Jungle Bay. The second year (yeah-it was that good) only confirmed what I already knew: Dominica is a special place. And Chrissy is one special teacher. Her teaching style is one that encourages laughter and fun. Her role is not just to be just a teacher, but a confidante, supporter, cheerleader and motivator. Her heart is an open one, and she translates that to her students in every interaction—both on and off the mat.
And as if that wasn’t enough—the retreat provided me with memories that I will hold with me forever. The yoga was sublime. We practiced to the sounds of the jungle waking up and then closed out the day as the sun set on the ocean. Sam and his crew at Jungle Bay are among the nicest, most accommodating and generally FUN people I’ve ever met. And for me, life-changing friendships were born—over poolside passion fruit mimosas, Joanne’s delectable pumpkin muffins at breakfast, and challenging hikes to boiling lakes and hidden waterfalls.
It is an experience I will not soon forget."

"In only one week Chrissy, you helped me transform my practice and allowed me to rediscover the truth of why I practice. Your clarity of purpose invites us all to come to a better, more truthful place in our lives and in our practice. I could not have had a better experience on this retreat". Paula Lynch
"Chrissy's classes were wonderful. Her gentle approach, her love and her compassion made all the difference. The interactive partner yoga and the evening meditation class under the stars were truly inspirational. This retreat was an unforgettable experience, one that will always leave me smiling. I so look forward to seeing everyone again next year"! Palma
"If you're just beginning on your yogic path or if you've been traveling on it for years, Chrissy's retreat connects you with your inner spirit leaving you feeling refreshed, revived and inspired in a way I haven't felt in a long time". Alexis
