All the details are taken care of and the locations are always amazing.  The instructors/hosts are so awesome too.  I just got back from Iceland, incredible!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, my experience with Reclaim Yourself Retreats in Jordan was unmatched. The food was incredible, the people were warm and welcoming, and every activity was thoughtfully planned. Honestly, it was perfect. Every detail was taken care of, so all I had to do was show up and soak it all in. If you've been thinking about Jordan, go with Reclaim. I can't recommend them enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came away from the yoga retreat in Jordan feeling genuinely grateful for the experience. I appreciated the warmth of the yoga teacher and the sense of community within the group.I found the retreat deeply rewarding. It gave me a chance to pause, breathe and experience Jordan in a very different way. Jools Sampson worked with some amazing local experts on the ground and the people were certainly one of the most memorable part of the retreat. I left having made some wonderful new friends and shared experiences that I will remember for a long time. Thank you Jools and James for having me.

Our second trip with Reclaim Yourself, and we’ve booked two more !  These retreats are exceptionally well run with an imaginative itinerary - our Jordan trip included stargazing, a ballon trip at sunrise and a desert camel rides.  Quality of accommodation is excellent, with the emphasis on responsible travel and heritage properties from havelis in India to desert pods in Wadi Rum.  Would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reclaim's Mongolia Retreat was my first (a) Yoga Retreat and (b) Group Travel trip (& as a solo participant). Count myself lucky to be a Reclaim Alum & will be back for more!

Jools & team did an fantastic job balancing the travel, trip-experiences & yoga across two magnificant destinations. While each of the 10 days flew by, the pace remained unhurried and I was able to fully engage through all the activities. I really appreciated how the team fostered a warm & friendly environment across the small group, and it was a truly lovely communal experience. Major shout-out to Kelly for the menu & food as well - I am not a vegetarian, but did not miss meat at all over the trip!

Yoga with James was eye-opening as well, with the yurts providing a really grounding experience. We all received personal attention/modifications during the group classes that catered to varying levels of practice. Beyond the new poses & transitions, my foundation has really improved with his attention to micro-detail & expertise across breadth, movement & focus.

Grateful to have been a part of this trip & massive thank you to Jools & James for the experience.

10/10. Highly Recommended!

Reviews

Sharon Bartels – January 5, 2019

My first time in Norway and what an introduction! We stayed all the way up in the north, on Senja, which according to the Norwegians is the most beautiful part of the country. Absolutely the most special experience staying in the Arctic Circle with 24 hrs daylight. Besides the energizing, very creative Jivamukti yoga classes taught by one of the most inspiring senior teachers, Emma Henry, there was time for hiking, kayaking, soaking in a hot tub boat (!). For me as a fond photographer I just couldn’t stop taking pictures of the Norwegian nature and scenery, breathtakingly beautiful! And then there was the Midnight Sun. Impossible to put into words, its just pure magic sitting on a rock or standing on top of a hill watching the sun set and come up immediately. Thank you Jools for making this possible, taking care of us with so much dedication and giving us an experience to remember the rest if our lives ??
Belinda Ks – January 5, 2019

We signed up for the retreat to Norway within minutes of it becoming a reality. Jools had worked hard to ensure that our travel was memorable via the Hurtigruten along some of the most picturesque Norwegian waters. Five hours of revitalising yoga each day made us both more flexible and stronger. The weather is always unpredictable in Norway and this led to some schedule changes for some of the events – midnight sun hunting for example – which Jools communicated simply and easily. Everyone got the chance to take part in trips. Full marks to Jools for leading the week so practically for the benefit of all of us. She ensured the cohesion of the group whilst being kind and totally approachable.
Caroline O Reilly – July 5, 2019

Yet again, an amazing retreat by Jools and her team!!
Noura – July 5, 2019

The Reclaim Yourself Norway retreat happens at an incredible boutique hotel in amazing location. It’s a blend of adventure and wellness and is also a spiritual retreat. If you are lucky enough to secure a place on one of the these trips then snap it up immediately.
Kim Oxenham – July 5, 2023

Jools is wonderful – caring and knowledgable in her work. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.
Julianne Miller – July 5, 2023

My time and energy is often given first to my job, my family and my obligations. Reclaim Yourself provided an opening to reclaim time and space for my own care. Jools and her team met every request with support. The people I met were adventurous, varied and curious, and the setting was divine. If it’s time for you to step out of your regular life and start an inner journey – whether by retreating or adventure, RYS is for you.
Fiona Keogh – July 5, 2023

Kayaking into the midnight sun was one of the best, incredible experiences. Jools has an incredible talent in finding magical places and incorporating fun, brilliant retreat activities.

Travelling on my own to somewhere new feels less daunting when I know I’ll be meeting like-minded people while away. It’s now my fourth trip, and I’ve made good friends along the way.
