Testimonials

“I had the pleasure of attending Jefferson’s yoga retreat for the second year and enjoyed it even more this year than last. The setting is pure relaxation and the hosts could not have been more welcoming. Jefferson provides a great mix of classes and makes accommodations for all levels. I truly enjoyed my weekend and am looking forward to returning next year!”

“I had never met Jefferson prior to attending the retreat and through the warm welcome of both himself and his family I instantly felt at peace at the retreat. As someone who had prior to the retreat a hate like relationship with yoga... the night I got home from the retreat was the first time I felt love for my yoga practice, which ultimately translated to love for who I am. ”

“I loved my first retreat so much, I returned again this year with a good friend. Jefferson’s hospitality, attention to detail and commitment to providing a relaxing and memorable experience were evident throughout the weekend. I will be back!! Truly one of the highlights of my summer.”

“The whole experience was so wonderful from start to finish! The meals and the hosts were excellent and so welcoming, I felt comfortable and relaxed right away. Jefferson’s classes were all well varied, each allowing me to stretch out and relax or to find my niche and push myself a little further in a pose. The atmosphere of the entire weekend allowed me to find that peace we need to nourish the body and soul so we can continue with the everyday demands. I wish I was closer to attend your classes on a regular basis. I look forward to having the opportunity to attend the retreat again!”

“This was easily the most relaxed, welcoming friendly weekend that we have experienced in a long time. Jefferson has a unique gift for hospitality - balancing warmth, friendliness and a genuine desire to share, with impeccable professionalism... This weekend was a wonderful balance of yoga, activities and rest. The yoga itself was in a beautiful, inspiring sunroom overlooking Lake Ontario and the pace/quantity of classes was adaptable to all levels and interests... even the most beginner. As a busy professional couple, we couldn’t have found a more fun, restful, relaxing weekend summer retreat, just a short distance from home, than our time with Jefferson at Jefferson Guzman yoga.”

“Jefferson has created an open and inviting retreat with numerous opportunities for self-discovery, restoration, and connection. From the beautiful backdrop in the country, to the candlelight restorative yoga sessions in an enchanting studio, to the wholesome meals around the dinner table with wonderful people, I departed from the weekend feeling light, peaceful, and deeply inspired. ”

“A yoga retreat with Jefferson Guzman is a truly decadent gift to yourself. With a genuine gift for teaching yoga by creating shapes for all sizes, Jefferson has the perfect Rest, Relax and Release weekend planned for you. One of the best weekends I’ve had and retreats I’ve been on - I’m leaving relaxed, re-centered, and reconnected to myself. ”

“I have never experienced so much peaceful relaxation as I did this weekend. The hospitality of our hosts was 5 star. Fabulous food, accommodations were spectacular, venue is a little piece of heaven. A real joy and privilege to participate. ”

“First, awesome yoga! Great pacing, right level and offer of alternatives in some poses. You have a wonderful voice too! Second, your touches - the welcome bag with eye pillow and treats... It was a very special weekend for us and I thank you.”

“If you are looking for a retreat that truly respects the body, this is it. Jefferson creates an atmosphere that pampers the mind, body and soul while finding the best poses for each yogi. I would go again in a heartbeat.”

“I was nervous about a weekend yoga retreat because I haven’t done yoga regularly for about forty years. Jefferson made me very comfortable, and I especially appreciated his frequent suggestion that we should do what we can and be true to our bodies.”

“Jefferson provided a warm and welcoming retreat which permitted me to test my limits with my body and mind. There was ample time to rest and explore nature which also helped deepen my personal experience. I would recommend Jefferson’s retreat as a way to bring your best self back to work and home.”
