Yoga Fundamentals

Testimonials

“Nicole has a knack for intuitively and intentionally channeling a vision and turning it into a reality that is jam-packed with beauty, magic and connection. From the very beginning of the retreat she careful coordinated everything, incorporating all of of our pre-retreat communication into personal touches and fine-details throughout the weekend — this was something that made me feel individually valued and appreciated as a participant (I’d disclose more but I don’t want to spoil anything). I couldn’t have been more impressed with the thought she put into everything up to and including roommate pairings, decorations and the weekend schedule. The schedule was organized but relaxed, allowing space to rest and connect while also digging deep. The yoga had variety and was spread out well throughout the other activities. Not to mention, all of this took place in the most beautiful location with incredible food. I would be remissed if I didn’t mention that the timing of this retreat fell perfectly and necessarily into my personal life and I credit that largely to Nicole’s intuition and ability to create a space that yields growth and meaning in any life season. I whole-heartedly recommend one of Nicole’s retreats if you ever get the chance.” - Kate G.

“I recently had the pleasure of attending a yoga retreat in Joshua Tree hosted by Nicole Rjeili, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was set up so perfectly and the house was gorgeous! The way Nicole curated the retreat was nothing short of fantastic—every detail was thoughtfully considered and organized. Each morning began with a lovely yoga session, followed by a wonderful breakfast made by a private chef, then a hike or walk through the farmer’s market. Nicole’s teaching style is both supportive and empowering, inspiring us to push our boundaries while cultivating a profound connection with ourselves and one another. The evenings were equally enchanting, filled with a guided sound bath, star gazing and cozy campfire gatherings where we shared stories and laughter under a blanket of stars. The retreat was not only a chance to deepen my yoga practice but also an opportunity for personal reflection and rejuvenation. I left feeling more centered and inspired than ever. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to recharge, connect, and grow. Nicole truly has a gift for creating transformative experiences, and I can’t wait for the next!” - Jackie S.

“Nicole put on a very special and personalized yoga retreat. She asked thoughtful questions beforehand so she knew what everyone's intentions were heading into the weekend. This helped to set the scene and the vibe for the group. The sound bath and catering were amazing as well as the beautiful location that was chosen. Nicole's yoga classes and breathwork were both grounding and energizing and she is a very thoughtful and dedicated teacher. I would very much recommend going on one of her retreats!” - Liseanne M.

“I had the absolute privilege of attending a yoga retreat with Nicole in Joshua Tree, and it was nothing short of amazing. Every detail of the weekend was thoughtfully planned, allowing me to fully relax and be present without lifting a finger. The home was beautiful, and the group of women Nicole brought together were all incredible—kind, inspiring, and full of good energy. Nicole herself is deeply knowledgeable and well-versed in yoga, which made each session both grounding and uplifting. It was a truly restorative and seamless experience.” - Chloe C.

“This retreat was truly transformative and awe inspiring. I arrived at the retreat on the heels of some significant transformation in my life, and this was a lot to hold on my own. So, it was comforting to be in a safe and supportive environment. Little did I know that this retreat was exactly what I needed to move to the next step in my journey. Nicole thoughtfully cultivated a beautiful and uplifting experience with thought and care down to every last detail. The location was serene, the sound bath was calming and the activities to follow were all of my favorite things. The yoga sessions were truly centering as well as challenging. Then, we had the opportunity to enjoy a great hike through the beautiful and peaceful desert terrain. This was followed by a fun trip to the farmers market for some shopping and exploring. Then, free time for the pool, journaling and socializing. There was a chef who prepared amazing healthy meals for us to enjoy while watching the sunset,and we even had some fun evening games and an opportunity to all get to know each other. Overall, the weekend was carefully cultivated to speak to the soul and provide a launch pad for growth, development and introspection. I will definitely be joining the next one, and it can’t come soon enough!” - Cathy B.
