Over the course of 25 years of practicing yoga and going on many retreats, I am faced with the challenge of aging restrictions to my body. Brockell often presented alternative ways of entering into a pose without losing its full integrity. I was able to feel I had been eased into a higher level of yoga. Can’t wait to do another retreat! - Costa Rica Retreat

I have been teaching yoga for 27 years and every now and then a new student arrives in class and they just radiate a “connection” with what this yoga thing is all about. Brockell was one of those very special people. Presence, openness, competence, nurturing, connection – these words all come to mind when I think of her. Over the years, I watched, engaged, and eventually invited her to be my assistant-teacher in several Global Yoga Journey adventures in Costa Rica, Switzerland and Greece. Her yoga-teaching-offering complimented my style and added that something “special” that I didn’t have. Don’t miss out on spending some time with this incredibly talented teacher and guide.

I signed up for this retreat because it was in a beautiful country, Costa Rica, which I have been to numerous times and enjoyed thoroughly. I also knew it would be an opportunity for me to be with other women around my age with a common interest. And who doesn’t like a little rest and relaxation? One of the biggest things that I’m taking home for my weeklong of self pampering, thoughtful, introspection, delicious, healthy food, and some new friends is that I need to slow down. I need to slow down take a deep breath and listen, and when I do that instead of replying, I can think through and respond, which is a much healthier thing to do. Do yourself a favor and do a retreat with Brockell Briddle and Wanderlust Women. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

The best yoga and hiking experience and beauty all around us. Brockell made sure we were all nurtured and gave us a lovely sense of community amongst the 10 people in our group. It felt like we know each other a long time. I highly recommended this retreat. I come here feeling sad and ungrounded. I've found place acceptance and able to go fourth and nurturing mindset. Love everything about Brockell and her trips. She is honest, friendly and kind. This was an experience of a lifetime. Thank you so much Brockell and WW for bringing me into your safe and loving place. - Switzerland

Brockell is a very gifted yoga teacher and facilitator. Her verbal cues and knowledge of kinesiology and hands-on adjustments help me fully feel the benefit of the poses. Beyond yoga, in retreat, Brockell is attentive to the whole experience and creates a supportive and safe container for Individual growth.

This retreat was an all-around spectacular experience - an invigorating mix of asana, workshops, meditation, mantra, chanting, the beauty of Costa Rica, and 22 women eager to learn more about yoga and themselves. The studios are set on a mountain top - overlooking valleys, coffee fields, and mountains on the horizon; a truly spiritual place conducive to growth and openness. Brockell is a talented retreat facilitator and an incredible teacher who brings a wealth of training and experience to the studio. Brockell brought women of all backgrounds on yoga and life together to explore their own inner radiance. I cannot wait to return and I highly recommend. - Costa Rica Retreat

It doesn’t matter your size, shape, age, or level of experience -  everyone can benefit from this retreat.  I came thinking it was about yoga but left knowing it was about me. I have never felt such a peaceful, settled feeling in my heart, body, and soul. I needed this. - Costa Rica Retreat

Brockell Offered a special yoga week. She has the knowledge to see her student's abilities and limitations and can offer exactly the adjustments and suggestions needed to encourage and support. A true gift. Brockell’s warm personality and infectious laugh set the tone to explore the possibilities that yoga holds. - Costa Rica Retreat

Brockell is the reason that I continued with yoga. She was born to be an instructor! Her approach is very reassuring and she gives you wonderful guidance. There isn’t a thing I would change about my experience with her or this retreat. Thank you! I cannot wait to return! - Costa Rica Retreat
