    "Nereus yoga course is one of the best experiences of my life"

    Family run and their integrity made the experience feel genuine and not about grabbing my money. Location is ideal for yoga, quiet, surrounded by jungle and wildlife, and ocean side. More than just one teacher… we had 3 exceptional teachers who were accessible, not culty, and broadened my yoga experience to be all encompassing. Accommodations were outstanding, clean, and house cleaning staff were kind and thoughtful. Food was directed by a top nutritionist who prepared some of the best food I have ever eaten and I have never felt better in my life. By having gluten, processed sugar, and dairy free meals, my arthritic inflammation was nearly gone, I had energy back, along with being delicious. All staff and family were helpful, friendly and went out of their way to provide the best experience and freed me up to dedicate to studying yoga. The warm and nurturing ambiance brought the group of students together sharing a very special and spiritual experience.

    Jen and her family make you feel like a part of their own. The location, facilities and food were so much better than I could have anticipated! Plus you get a front door to some really incredible wild life.

    As for the course, it is first and foremost extremely informative. The team also does an incredible job of creating a comfortable, open learning environment where no questions are silly and none go un-answered. It's a safe, judge free zone for new and experienced teachers alike. I really appreciated that Michelle had a really deep knowledge base, but also practical ways to adjust yoga and its teachings to individual bodies/lifestyles.

    I cant say enough great things about the people, the location and the course. Saving up to go to some of the other amazing retreats they have as soon as possible!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Michelle, Karissa, and the Millar family! I went for a 200 hr YTT and ended up staying an extra week to attend a 50 hr Yin/Yoga Nidra training. I think that speaks volumes.

    Food was excellent. Everything was locally sourced and the chefs provided beautiful, balanced meals. Our rooms were tidied every morning. And a fairly private beach was a short walk away. It felt like being at a resort!

    Michelle is a wonderful teacher and has a solid depth of understanding with it comes to the world of yoga and ayurveda. Karisa (who is NEVER leaving) was super supportive as well and offers massages and reiki for an extra fee. The owners (Stu and Jen, and Assistant Regional Manager, Cam) are also always available to answer questions and chat about anything. And if you thoroughly love talking about horoscopes, this is your place!

    The supportive atmosphere created here is what I appreciated the most. We laughed, we cried, we shared, we danced, we listened, we looked inward, and we learned.

    I really appreciated the quality of my education here and was able to learn about aspects of yoga I had never considered before. And I feel pretty confident in my ability to facilitate classes. Highly recommend for folks who are looking for a comprehensive program that isn't interested in forcing beliefs on you. They provide the information. Do with it what you will. And be sure to enjoy every moment of your time at Nereus!

    "Best Decision for RYT200 "

    Choosing to complete my RYT200 at Nereus Retreats was one of the best decisions I’ve made! As I reflect on the three weeks spent at Nereus, I can’t help but have a huge smile on my face. This experience exceeded my expectations of what a teacher training could look like. The instruction, accommodations, location, staff, and overall vibes of this place are magical! This training gave me the necessary steps to start teaching yoga, while simultaneously leading me through a journey of self-growth, discovery, and life-long connections. I highly recommend Nereus Retreats!!

    "Yoga in Paradise "

    It was an extraordinary experience with extraordinary people. Yoga every morning in a spectacular location, a beautiful beach, monkeys and macaws and healthy food made for a truly magical experience.

    "200h yoga journey in a magical paradise "

    I recently completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training program at this new retreat center! Despite booking my space just four days in advance and it being their first class, the program exceeded my expectations in every possible way!

    This experience allowed me to deepen my understanding of yoga, including not only the physical asanas but also the spiritual and other aspects of the practice! The instructors were absolutely amazing! They were incredibly knowledgeable, warm-hearted, and passionate, which made the experience even more enjoyable. With their unwavering support, we were able to create a safe space for personal growth, self-discovery, and sharing.

    Jen and Stuart, the owners of Nereus Retreat Center, are absolutely amazing! They are incredibly attentive and responsive to all needs and inquiries. Their kindness and hospitality made me feel like part of the family, almost like mom and dad.

    I cannot forget to mention Girly, the sweetest Nereus Center Dog ever! I love her!

    Accommodation - I absolutely loved having a private room with a bathroom all to myself! The room was so spacious and even included a cozy couch and a convenient table.

    The food deserves a special mention as well! Jen and her team are excellent cooks, and every meal was a culinary delight - YUUUMI!

    If you are looking for a well-planned school with a great balance of different teachers and energy, this is it! I highly recommend it!
