Downtime Adventures

  • Mel's spring retreat was an amazing place for me to rejuvenate my mind and body. The yoga was perfect- expert instruction, and with many options, so it can be as challenging or laid back as you feel is right for your body. The accommodations were Vermont cozy, and the three meals a day of delicious, nourishing food exceeded my expectations. We all took home recipes! I came to the retreat knowing just one person, but felt like I left with many new friends.

  • Mel's four-day yoga retreat was an absolute rejuvenating experience. Perfect Vermont spring landscapes as the background for relaxation, positive energy, culinary delights, and lots of laughs. The retreat's schedule struck a perfect balance between yoga sessions and leisure time. A dip in the hot tub, private massage, antiques browsing, and a trip to the cheese factory were among the extra perks. The food was not only delicious but thoughtfully prepared to complement the yoga practice. Though, of course, the highlight was undoubtedly the exceptional Mel whose yoga sessions always cater to practitioners of all levels. Morning and evening sessions were accessible and challenging, invigorating and restorative - all just right. I walked away feeling energized, relaxed, and so grateful to have been a part of the community of people who attended. Mel creates such an amazing feeling of connection and belonging (and fun!), and I look forward to doing as many of her retreats as I am able!

  • Mel's spring retreat was the perfect mix -- of people, food, flow, meditation and a beautiful setting. The yoga is just the right amount of active and restorative and Mel's sequencing combined with her perfect playlists take you to another place. The layout of Good Commons is terrific -- spacious but cozy. And there is so much to see and do in between the yoga sessions. I cannot wait to go back this May!
