Rachel and Jules' work tirelessly to bring together a truly exceptional and affirming experience. The Bali Wander retreat came together in such a synchronous and harmonious way, that it left all of us - who started as strangers - feeling connected, peaceful, and like we had known each other forever.

The retreat was a yoga retreat in every sense of the word - asana practice aside - and each day was founded on one of the yamas or niyamas, and we were urged to to practice the teachings of this ancient moral code throughout the day. I believe everyone found a little piece of themselves that they didn't know they were searching for, and I returned home with a renewed sense of motivation to take on life's challenges with grace and a smile.

I thank Rachel and Jules for creating such a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Exhale Yoga Retreats for anyone looking for a little affirmation, guidance, rest, peace, and FUN! Thanks again. Love and light. — Jessica Louise xo

So I decided to attend the Exhale Yoga Retreat… I did this with some hesitation, I knew it would be amazing but I was honestly reserved due to some personal history and insecurity on my part… but I decided What the Fuck… In my time on the retreat, I had the chance to experience so many different things… I got to spend time with, learn and meet some extraordinary people that were new and amazing.

I think that the environment that was created was so unique and special, people were able to release their inhibitions and truly be themselves. For myself, regardless of any insecurities that I may have had, I felt myself be comfortable in my uncomfortableness, and being able to let it go. The space and energy and support that was provided, was the trigger to releasing known and unknown stressors and in turn inspiring new thought and passions.

I am so incredibly inspired by the work that both of you have done in cultivating your dreams and visions, while creating the life that you want to live. I look forward to partaking in all of your new adventures and I so proud of you both…Love with all my heart! — Shannon

I booked this yoga retreat looking to charge my batteries and meet some new people. What I found was truly paradise. I didn’t think El Salvador would be a place that I would really miss – and here I am a week after getting home from the retreat still dreaming about those burning red vibrant sunsets, that ocean breeze, the friendly locals, the fresh (and inexpensive!) fish tacos, and all of the friends I made during the week! It was the perfect balance of carefree fun, relaxing in the hammocks, adventures like hiking to a beautiful waterfall, deep conversations, personal growth, and individual meditation/introspection. I am so grateful to have been a part of this retreat – the yoga sessions touched me deeply and challenged me in a way I had not felt before. I can’t overstate how much this week was enhanced by the people that came! Jules and Rachel exude a special kind of energy that is like a magnet for good people – not only did we spend the week in paradise, but we spent the week surrounded by really good company! I am already looking forward to coming back next year. All my love to the exhale yoga retreat yogis! See you soon!! Xx — Camille Duvalle

“The environment that was created was so unique and special” The Exhale Yoga Retreats was an outstanding experience. I came down there to clear my mind, open up, and deepen my practice and I found what I was looking for. Rachel is an excellent teacher who goes beyond teaching just the physical aspects of yoga.

This isn’t just a bunch of classes strung together but a process to improve your life. She taught us the yoga sutras, progressing us through one a day and providing us with ways to integrate our practice into daily living. Everyone on the trip radiated positivity and warmth and it was a great cast of characters who came. Really enjoyed the trip and would like to attend another retreat with them! — Anderson Pugash

I first met Rachel and Jules in 2015 in Bali after they had just finished a retreat... This is when they planted the seed in me and told me about Exhale Yoga Retreats!

These two had a dream and they built an empire! They provided an amazing space and place for all of us to come together from different backgrounds and unite with each other as well as work out things in our souls. They did an amazing job making sure everyone got to connect with each other and ran an incredible retreat here in Nicaragua! Each class Rachel, Ariel, and Yeva did an amazing job teaching and explaining all the yoga movements.

My best advice is.... go to a retreat! You get to go to an awesome place, do some yoga, have free time to do any other activities your heart desires, eat meals with great people and have good vibes all day long!

I know I will be reuniting with them again! — Love Brooke

Hey Rachel! You remain the proud inspiration of my first headstand ever over 2 years ago. I will go to my grave with upside down visions of you smiling over me and the thatched roof suddenly looking like the floor.

Your classes are powerful stuff for me and your retreat has become an essential part of starting my new year with clarity health and intention. Not to mention the impromptu dance parties :) Good people and good times and it all starts at the top with you! ~ Ben Stark

Dear Rachel and Jules. After the retreat with you, we kept on exploring Nicaragua, it was a long amazing journey but nothing compared to our time with you on the Exhale Yoga Retreats and we wanted to thank you for that.

The experience you are offering is top-notch and your attention to the smallest details of the organization did not go unnoticed. Of course, these would mean nothing if your passion, warmth and sunny disposition did not make it so special. We learned a lot with you, both physically and spiritually, and we look forward to building upon that amazing growth. 

We look forward to joining your other retreats in the future and to keeping in touch! Love and light, Fabien + Caroline
