What My Goddess Yoga Retreat Guests Had to Say (And Why You Should Join Me in France)

Every retreat I run starts the same way: a flutter of nerves. Will they like it? Will it be what they need?

This year's Goddess Yoga Retreat in Spain answered that question better than I could have hoped. Eight women joined me, some for the third time, for five days of yoga, hiking, and genuine rest — and the feedback since coming home has reminded me exactly why I do this work.

Goddess Retreat Guests

What My Guests Said

"The retreat was held in a gorgeous place. The practices were absolutely spot on and very inspirational. Rebecca is simply amazing and the group that I got to share with LOVELY!"
— Elena

"I have had an amazing, relaxing and restorative time on Rebecca's yoga retreat. She is an excellent teacher who listens and guides you in a professional way. Rebecca's classes are varied and the different yoga techniques are really fun. I loved the mixture of hatha yoga and yin yoga in the afternoons, alongside breathing techniques. I also love learning about the various goddesses. I will be sure to come along again as I look forward to this all year as my time to rest and recuperate. Thank you, I feel so lucky to have had this experience."
— Sarah

"Rebecca not only carefully selects the venue and full package (including delicious meals and snacks as well as outside activities), but continues to impress me with her classes and way of teaching. I feel well taken care of and everyone in the class gets personal attention and care. Rebecca has managed to gather a fun and interesting group of people that make every retreat feel almost like a family vacation, albeit a very relaxing one."
— Vanessa

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!
