| Retreat Participant Testimonial: |
“The week I spent in Dominica, practicing yoga in the rain forest, breathing the freshest air, eating the best, organic, health supportive food, meeting amazing people, seeing different ways of life and different ways of living, helped me get back to what is most important. The simple things. This was my first time ever booking an all-in kind of trip like this. Trish has found a perfect way to combine her many years of living in the Caribbean with her adventurous spirit and yoga experience to create these amazing one-of-a-kind escapes. I couldn't imagine a more perfect person for this. The trip exceeded my expectations. It was more than a yoga retreat and better than any tour. I felt like I had landed in Dominica to hang out with friends, and luckily- one of us actually knew her way around and all the best local spots to visit. We dodged the cruise crowds, chased the sunshine, rested, relaxed, bonded and saw a great amount of a magical island. A holiday filled with fabulous women, all with the same goal, to have a great time and keep smiling the whole way through.
Crescent Moon was the perfect place for our retreat! Perched on the side of the mountain in the middle of the rainforest. Ron, Jean and Tiana were our superbly warm and welcoming hosts. We felt wholly invited and they fed and nourished us amazingly well. For the week that we were there, I felt a part of their family as they joined us in yoga, welcomed us to stroll the grounds, chill in the hot tub, poke around in the greenhouse, give us tips on hiking nearby trails, and joined in our toast to a fabulous retreat. I choose holidays with the goal that I will come home feeling my best. My week at Crescent Moon Cabins ensured that nothing less would be achieved."
