Yoga Retreat and Meditation Getaway

“WOW. The Grateful Yoga Retreat at Amansala was a dream come true. Jesse’s challenging yet super motivating and inspiring yoga classes twice a day were the foundation of this retreat. In between classes, we were offered the most delicious and healthy meals and snacks prepared daily. The yoga shala looked over the beach which brought unbelievable views and sea breezes. The resort has a perfect view of sunrise over the ocean which many people from our retreat woke up early for sunrise meditations on the beach led by Jesse. I could not imagine a more magical setting for a yoga retreat. Jesse’s retreat was the perfect blend of activity but still having time to relax on the beautiful beach and explore Tulum. I absolutely recommend this experience and cannot wait for the next one!”

Jesse Cassady’s retreats are AMAZING! He draws a beautiful group of people. The yoga is everything I want it to be: challenging, nurturing, energetic, quiet, stretchy, sweaty, restorative. And the music will blow your mind! Jesse does a masterful job of picking up the vibe of the group and knowing what we need in that moment. You will 100% leave the retreat feeling loved and inspired, and you’ll have a ton of new songs to add to your Spotify playlists. The accommodations are excellent. The Mountain Valley Retreat Center is perfect — the cabins and rooms are mountain cabin-y in style, yet absolutely clean and comfortable. The beds are dreamy, with crisp sheets and quilts. The water pressure in my cabin was fantastic with plenty of hot water. The food is abundant and very good. All of our offerings were vegetarian, and there was a vegan option when necessary for the person in our group who needed that. I have done three retreats with Jesse in Harrisonburg. Each one has been fantastic. Do not hesitate to go. Just go. Just go.

"I can’t say enough good things about the Grateful Yoga Retreat at Mountain Valley resort. Jesse embodies what yoga is about, and the setting, the food, the music and the people all just added to that. If you have the chance to go on retreat with Jesse, just say YES and figure out the logistics later."

"Probably the best yoga class Ive ever been to. Creative but challenging flow, welcoming and chill atmosphere, really great workout- felt like I really twisted and sweated out the stresses of the day. Sore like I took a barre class but calm like I took a yoga class. Amazing."
- Epic Yoga Student
