What Past Guests are Saying
“Sara and Sam are more than just guides and instructors - they truly care about everyone having the best experience.”
“Tulum was my second international trip with Alchemy, which in and of itself is a testament to how awesome they are. The lodging was fairly deep into the jungle and I LOVED the seclusion, way from the hustle and bustle of downtown Tulum. The schedule was packed with activities while having enough down time to chill out and unplug if needed.
- Jon
“Booking the adventure to Chamonix with Alchemy was life changing in the best way possible.”
“I had experiences that I never would have had traveling solo - guided yoga at the base of the French alps every morning, a 5 star personal chef dinner atop an elite ski resort at sunset, a magical train ride up the mountain to an ice cave, a trail run to 9,000 ft elevation and breaking through cloud cover to admire the stunning mountain peaks. And best of all, new friends from all over the country, who share a love for movement and the outdoors."
- Joanna
“More than anything, I am so grateful for the amazing community and new friends that have become part of my life.”
“The Alchemy excursion to Nicaragua was incredible. It was my perfect vacation-yoga, HIIT, and surfing-all in a serene setting. The villas were beautiful and the food was delicious. We didn’t want for anything-Sara and Sam were true professionals and so much fun!”
- Sarah L.
“I especially loved all the out of property adventures, from the boat day to surfing to the outdoor beach workout.”
“We had such a great group of people in Tulum, it was amazing to be surrounded by such a fun loving and down-for-adventure community. The workout classes and yoga were so fun - - Sara and Sam are amazing humans and are really there making sure you have a blast.”
- Jenny
“Sara, and Sam are not only phenomenal at what they do, they are such warm, incredible and talented human beings.”
“The Alchemy crew put together an AMAZING trip. Their attention to detail and flexibility are evident in the way they truly care about your experience. This retreat was spiritually, mentally, and emotionally refreshing while being physically exhausting. It’s been two weeks since I returned and I’m still riding a wave of Zen!”
- Jon
“Going with Alchemy to Tulum was a highlight of my year! It’s so special to be with such kind, joyful people who prioritize their physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a week of fun, sweat, and new friends!”
- Sarah W.
“Words can’t express the magic that Alchemy puts together through their retreats. Each one I've been to has been filled with so much fun, play, joy and adventure. I recommend it so highly to everyone I know.”
- Onose
“Chamonix was an unforgettable experience. Alchemy did a great job creating a space for us to connect and get to build so many beautiful new connections. ”
“Spending a week in the French Alps, starting the day with yoga, going on new daily adventures, and creating lifelong memories was so special! It was a perfect balance of structured activity and free time.The group was incredible. So many people from across the country, with different backgrounds, different reasons for being on this retreat"
