Love notes from retreat participants:

"Being my first yoga retreat, I was definitely nervous about venturing off to the other side of the planet and putting my comfort, safety, entertainment and logistical concerns on the shoulders of the OMbiance team. From the very onset, Justina's professionalism, friendly demeanor, ability to work under pressure and dedication to her craft quickly replaced my concerns with absolute confidence that everything was going to be stellar. I couldn't have been more right! The location was unlike anything I've ever seen - couldn't have imagined a more perfectly serene, beautiful and exotic destination to work on the 'self'. Her years of travelling experience have given her a real knack for choosing brilliant retreat locations. Even in the face of adversity, (not Justina's fault) she managed to quickly resolve the issue and keep everything flowing smoothly - exactly what one wants in a retreat operator. The accommodations themselves, although not overly luxurious were a perfect fit for the organic theme of the excursion. The staff were all very friendly and the food, although simple, was fresh, delicious and packed the energy our group needed to get us through the list of activities OMbiance had prearranged for us. The guided jungle tour up one of the island's highest peaks and scuba diving trips were without a doubt the highlights for me, other than the yoga itself, of course. Her ability to transform herself from a multi-tasking logistics co-ordinator to achieving a Zen-like calm when it was time to hit the mat is noteworthy as well! She had alot on her plate that week and passed with flying colours in all respects but her abilities really came to light when she rang her session bell. She has a very clear, indepth understanding of her craft and inspires you to dig a little deeper within yourself each time. I found the meditation and visionboarding exercises insightful and I felt that both the new and experienced practitioners derived great benefits from the vibrant yet soothing energy that flowed throughout all the classes. Much thanks for one of the ost spiritually nourishing experiences of my life! Looking forward to attending your next great adventure." ~ Jake Beczala

"Retreat was amazing - wish I lived closer! I'm definitely a yoga novice, but I knew Justina and decided that a yoga retreat would be a great way to spend my vacation time -- and that was a great decision. Justina is a fantastic teacher. She combines explaining poses with demonstrating and providing adjustments as needed. It really felt like she let me progress at my own pace, but still challenged me to work harder (I felt the workouts afterward, but enjoyed them while doing them!) I wish I lived closer, I'd be seeking out Justina for ongoing instruction!" ~ Jon Lane
