Journey to Self Reviews 12

I attended a yoga and cultural immersion retreat to India hosted by Isabelle. First of all, Isabella organized such a meaningful trip where we saw multiple places in India with a local guide and got to experience an ashram. She kept everything incredibly organized and made sure we were all well-prepared for the trip, and comfortable throughout. I highly recommend booking a retreat with Isabelle!

I have a beginner-intermediate level of yoga, so wasn’t sure how I’d find this, but honestly it was perfect for all levels. There were people who had never practiced and people who are fully qualified yoga instructors, and everyone loved the experience. You cannot get a more get authentic experience than with this retreat, the yoga was only one aspect of the retreat, I took so much from the meditation and workshops too, really special and carefully curated by Isabelle. From meditation, to yoga, to puja, to workshops, to food, to the Ganges, to the Himalayasc to the Taj Mahal, it was the trip of a lifetime. While experiencing all these amazing things, the peace and calmness while travelling was something new for me. It was the perfect break away, experiencing India with a group of likeminded women from all walks of life, I really cannot recommend it enough. Isabelle organised everything seamlessly, all excursions, meals and transport were amazing. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Being a solo female traveller in India is daunting, but being with this group and Isabelle who knows the area so well, it really made the experience truly special. I would recommend this retreat to anyone and everyone - I’m already thinking about the next one I can book with Isabelle!

Isabelle mixes culture, movement, travel and connection so seamlessly. She is incredibly dedicated and friendly and is a wonderful host on the trips she runs ♥️

I’ve just returned from Isabelle’s yoga retreat and cultural immersion trip to India, and it was truly one of the best experiences of my life.

Everything was perfectly organised, from the yoga and workshops to the food, cooking classes, and cultural experiences. Isabelle was so welcoming and supportive throughout, and nothing was ever too much trouble.

What surprised me most was how much I learned about myself in just 10 days. The trip helped me prioritise myself, appreciate the importance of being surrounded by the right people, and build my of self-love and confidence. The impact it has had on my life has been incredible, and I think about the experience every day.

I also met the most amazing people and made memories I’ll never forget.

If you’re considering booking a trip with Isabelle, do it—you won’t regret it. Thank you, Isabelle, for such a life-changing experience. I can’t wait for the next one! 💖✨💛

Review of Isabelle’s India Trip:
Isabelle has a skill for bringing amazing, likeminded individuals together. I’d been wanting to go to India for ages but felt nervous to go alone, the group trip was a great way to explore in a safe way alongside some wonderful women. I particularly enjoyed experiencing ashram life and Diwali with the local community. Thank you Isabelle.

Isabelle is an absolute gem. I went to India for her yoga retreat and it was one of the best things I ever did! She was so at home in what she was doing it was a privilege to see her in her happy place. Isabelle made sure that we had the best possible experience and showed us a side of India you don't see online. From temples and pujas to cooking classes and introducing us to the locals, it was an unforgettable experience. Not only that, she introduced me to 12 wonderful women with whom I got to share this trip. She looked after everyone from the moment you booked the trip to the second the plane left the tarmac for home. Thank you Isabelle xx

I’m honestly so so glad I went on this trip with Isabelle! It was beyond amazing from start to finish. You do not have to be an expert at yoga or meditation whatsoever, I could count on one hand the amount of times I did yoga & meditation before coming on this trip & I throughly enjoyed the experience & never felt out of place! The group had a nice mix of beginners, frequent goers & even other yoga teachers & everyone learned something new & valuable. Isabelle is so incredible at what she does. Soo passionate & kind & created a judgement- free, safe & open minded environment. The self- love workshops were so wholesome & a highlight for everyone. She is always there for any questions & recommendations! I felt so at ease for the entire trip & was absolutely stress free & so relaxed! The Rishikesh accommodation had an extremely affordable spa which we all had multiple fantastic treatments in. India gets a negative rep online but Isabelle loves India so much & knows it so well that you will love it by the end of your trip too! Don’t listen to negative perceptions of India online, it was so beautiful & the food was the best food I ever had! If you’re even slightly thinking about doing this trip, just book it!! Couldn’t recommend more & I met the most amazing women because of this trip 🌟🇮🇳🧡

I went on the Journey to Self Yoga trip to India in Oct/Nov 24 and had the most incredible time. I couldn’t recommend doing a group trip with Isabelle enough, she put so much care and attention into every detail of this trip which resulted in an incredible trip with the most amazing group of people where I formed strong connections, realised a lot about myself and went home feeling a new sense of direction in my life. Isabelle found a good balance between planned activities and lots of downtime so people could really do what suited them on the trip. She was always available with advice and recommendations, always with lots of energy and a bright smile, making everyone feel welcome and included.
This was my first group trip so I wasn’t too sure how it would go, but it was honestly so nice to be able to relax and appreciate someone else organizing the trip for me, especially in a country like India, which can be quite stressful to travel if you don’t know what you’re doing or where you’re going.
Ultimately I would 100% do a trip with Isabelle again and would absolutely recommend it to anyone else 🤗

I joined Isabelle on retreat to Uganda in June and had the most unbelievable experience! Joining groups like this is a great way to travel without feeling too isolated, the women on my group were all so lovely and I have genuinely made friends for life. Thank you so much Isabelle for bringing this group and experience together 🫶🏼

I joined Isabelle’s “Journey to Self” retreat mainly to learn more about yoga and experience India in the safety of a group. The experience completely exceeded any expectations I had! Isabelle is thorough in her planning and an excellent communicator so it made the trip so smooth and enjoyable. We really just had to show up, sit back and enjoy. I felt completely safe and well taken care of at all times.

Isabelle’s respect for the country and its people was evident from the very first email. This wasn’t your typical sightseeing trip. We learned so much along the way, and experiences from a cooking class to Sheroes Cafe (a cafe run by acid attack survivors) really helped us experience the culture as well as the sights. The hotels were clean and comfortable. Amazing value for money. There is simply no way I could have done this trip for this cost on my own or with anyone else.

I didn’t know Isabelle before this trip, but her authenticity just jumped off her social media page. She brought together a group of amazing, kind, supportive women who I am so grateful to now know. I am already waiting to sign up for the next one. If you are thinking of joining one of Isabelle’s trips, all I can say is go for it! You will have the time of your life and memories you will never forget :)

The most gorgeous, brilliant trip which was a complete and utter reset from life and different to anything I had experienced before. Isabelle has amazing energy and pulled together the MOST lovely group of people who were all just super keen to turn up authentically and take everything they could from it. Amazing mix of the classic tourist experience in Delhi, where we were SO well organised and looked after, and also then authentic ashram life where we really had the opportunity to lean into a retreat/yogic experience. Everything Isabelle does is with SUCH kindness, enthusiasm, authenticity and joy - and that becomes truly contagious! An amazing itinerary in an amazing country - but really the whole trip was made by Isabelle and the group she had pulled together. Had never considered a tour group type holiday before but would 100% travel with Isabelle again 💓💓

If you're considering going on a trip with Isabelle, don't hesitate and book! I felt so safe in her presence, particularly in India - a country I have not traveled before.
The itinerary flowed beautifully and was very thoughtfully put together. Isabelle made sure we were ethically and culturally sensitive which I really appreciated. The support before, during and after the trip was amazing. The people who she brought together on the trip were so kind, caring and inspiring. I have made lifelong friends and will forever hold our time together very close in my heart.
I truly feel so lucky to have had this experience. Thank you Isabelle from the bottom of my heart.
