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?
