10 Questions Women Ask Before Booking a Goddess Yoga Retreat (and Honest Answers from a Retreat Leader)

If you’ve ever dreamt of pressing pause on life and finally giving your body the rest it’s been asking for, a women’s retreat might already be calling you.

But I know — making the leap can feel daunting. You might be wondering if you’ll fit in, what really happens each day, or whether it’s truly worth it.

After guiding many women through this journey — from wired, tired, and overwhelmed to calm, grounded, and glowing — I’ve gathered the 10 most common questions I’m asked before they say yes to themselves.

Here are the honest answers.

1. I've never done yoga before. Will I be out of my depth?

Absolutely not. I teach with complete beginners in mind and offer modifications for every pose. You'll have all the props needed to make everything comfortable. Several first-time yoga students have joined past retreats and thrived.

2. I'm coming solo and nervous about the twin share room. What if we don't get along?

Rebecca personally pairs solo travellers based on what I know about you both - age, energy, why you're coming. I've never had a pairing that didn't work beautifully. Many roommate pairs stay in touch long after the retreat ends.

3. I'm worried about my age/fitness level/body size. Will I fit in?

This retreat welcomes women of all ages (my retreats typically span ages 30’s-70’s), all body types, all fitness levels. The practice is adapted to YOU, not the other way around. One of Rebecca’s core values is genuine inclusivity.

4. What makes this Goddess Retreat different from others?

This isn’t just a yoga holiday — it’s a journey from wired and tired to deeply nourished and calm.
Through daily yoga, guided meditations, journalling, time for self-enquiry and reflection, time in nature, you’ll gently reset your body and mind.
With no more than 10 women, it’s deeply personal — an intimate space for rest, reflection, and growth.

5. What’s included in the price?

Your stay includes:

  • 4 nights’ accommodation at Soul Farm near Barcelona

  • A welcome goodie bag

  • Morning and evening yoga, meditation & journalling

  • All Nourishing vegetarian meals, fruit & refreshments

  • A guided hike to a beautiful waterfall

  • Use of the private pool and gardens

  • Optional 1:1 Reiki or spiritual guidance sessions with Rebecca

All you need to do is arrive and allow yourself to receive.

6. Can I have time to myself?

Yes — plenty of it.
Between sessions, you’ll have quiet hours to journal, read, swim, nap, or explore. This time is sacred. Many women say it’s the first time in years they’ve felt able to truly rest.

7. What if I’m feeling emotionally or physically fragile?

You are welcome, exactly as you are.
This is what Rebecca is particularly accomplished at - the retreat is designed to hold space for you — gently and safely. Whether you’re recovering from stress, grief, burnout, or simply needing to breathe again, everything supports your healing at your own pace.

8. Can I come with a friend or sister?

Of course! Some women come together and share a twin or triple room.
But if you prefer more privacy, there are also private king rooms available — ideal if you need solitude and stillness.

9. What if I need more information or want to chat before booking?

Email me at Rebecca@getcalmer.com or use the contact form. I'm happy to answer questions, call you, or provide any reassurance you need. Choosing your first retreat is a big decision - I want you to feel completely comfortable.

Rebecca Dobson

Rebecca founded GetCalmer in 2001, with a vision to pass on her knowledge and passion of holistic therapies to others and ultimately to help people "get calmer".

Having a sales background, Rebecca knew only too well the stressful effects that working in a pressurised environment can have on the body, and how little people take care of themselves.

With this in mind, Rebecca followed her passion and spent a year re-training in various holistic therapies, including massage and Reiki, gaining experience working privately, in spa’s and practicing onsite massage in the workplace.

Since completing her Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training in 2006, Rebecca has been taught by many worldwide accredited yoga teachers over the years, including Claire Missingham, Kathryn Budig, Jason Crandell and the most influential Dr. Francoise Freedman, Director and Founder of Birthlight. All of which have shaped her in to the yoga teacher she is today. Rebecca would describe herself as a down to earth teacher and therapist who is personable, creative, patient and intuitive. She lightly weaves yoga philosophy and anatomy into her classes, making them well-rounded and accessible. In her opinion, yoga isn’t just about busting a pose, it’s so much more than that; yoga can help you understand yourself, others and the world we live in; all you need is an open mind.

Rebecca’s next mission is to spread the word to every Woman on the profound benefits of yoga to help improve and enhance Women’s health. Who knows at this point where it will lead her, but I bet you any money it’ll be something truly exciting!
