I had the most incredible time on our Glacier retreat! The balance between planned adventures and yoga was perfect for me and the bonds formed with new friends will be forever treasured. Thanks to Kelsey and her team for making this trip all that I had hoped for! Looking forward to the next one!

This retreat was simply magical. It was my first Get Wild retreat and certainly won’t be my last. The way you’re able to connect with humans you just meet and feel like you’ve known them your entire life is remarkable. The experiences, the memories, the movement, the reflection. I feel so alive and inspired leaving the Greece 2023 retreat and I am SO thankful. Kelsey is a huge inspiration and she is so thorough in her retreat planning. Everything is intentional. Also, all the sessions and activities are “Challenge by Choice” so you show up to what you want to go to! So if you’re not huge into yoga, that’s why they are also called adventure retreats. Pick and choose what feels good to your soul and your body! You won’t be disappointed. With a last minute leader swap, Jess and Liz led our retreat and were the perfect yin and Yang to each other! I love and look up to them both and I feel as though they perfectly embodied what Kelsey works to create for her yoga and adventure retreats. They were also so kind and accommodating to me as I was 27 weeks pregnant on this retreat. I look forward to keeping up with all the rad humans I met on this retreat and hope to see them all on future adventures with Get Wild Retreats <3

Baja Mexico 2023 Retreat, a 10/10 experience.
Truly, I can not say enough good things about about my experience with Get Wild Retreats. It clearly showed how much thought, attention to detail, and planning Kelsey put into organizing this retreat.
From the absolutely stunning venue, to the amazing and thought provoking daily practices led by Kelsey and her co-lead Liz. Which included barre/HITT classes, and yoga/meditation, meant to challenge yourself physically and mentally. To the multiple cultural excursions, and the absolutely phenomenal meals prepared by our private chef. Also to mention very reasonably priced when you factor in (basically) being all inclusive outside of the flights.
It was everything I could’ve wanted out of this retreats and more. If you’re looking to find connections with yourself and others, while also traveling the world. Stop, and look no further bc you have found it.
As someone who went as a solo traveler, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Made friends, while also having plenty of opportunities to do my own thing or have alone time if wanted. A perfect balance for anyone looking to further their wellness journey. I am very much looking forward to my next adventure in 2024!

If you are looking for an honest getaway, find Kelsey’s next retreat! She is an authentic, purely sincere soul and knows how to inspire, motivate and transform anyone needing just that. She is wise beyond her years! She loves crazy adventure and is ok if it’s not for you (that was me!). Give yourself the experience of a retreat with Kelsey! Best bday gift to myself ever!!

Going on this retreat led by Kelsey was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Not only is the yoga and fitness amazing, but the immense amount of connection, support & joy from meeting the other individuals on the trip is unparalleled. I booked the trip to Mexico on a whim and am so grateful that I did. The stay, food and adventures that Kelsey planned were all so thought out and AMAZING! My mom and I went together which was an extremely powerful and amazing experience! Thank you Kelsey for all the time you put into making retreats so impactful! I will 100% be back for more.

While I have never been on a retreat before, the Baja Mexico trip was everything I could have expected or wanted in one. Kelsey’s energy was calm and empowering during yoga but excited and fun when going on excursions. I am so certain that Get Wild Retreats is one of the best, I haven’t even left the airport yet to go home. I wanted to make sure that I didn’t forget to write a review!

“Kelsey’s ability to have experiences that skillfully blend yoga and compliment the place the retreat takes place is truly remarkable. The yoga, workshops, and excursions are amazing. The unique aspect of her retreat is the environment that is cultivated in amongst everyone who attends outside of the planned events. I will be attending at least one per year indefinitely.”
— Patrick Koutnik, Peru 2022
"Kelsey's passion for her work is evident in the retreat that she put together. From the site selection, to the yoga classes she put together, it is clear that she is on a mission to create an environment in which like-minded souls can come together and connect in a meaningful way."

Kelsey is an amazing yoga instructor! Not only will you get a full hour long workout for your body, your joints, and your ligaments, you will be supported, challenged and encouraged. In her Lower Body Power Flow, she starts with life lessons that get your mind thinking. As you begin the flow, these lessons begin to permeate your body. Where do you need to just step forward? Where do you need to just breathe? Where do you need to push your body? Where do you need to just let go and move to the calming and encouraging sound of her voice?
I LOVE her classes. They leave me feeling inspired, and I walk away with deeper contemplation that I could have imagined. Even when the flow is fast and I want to slow down or stop, Kelsey's encouragement keeps me going and shows up at just the right moment. At the end of savasana, my body feels great and is building more strength every day.
Thank you Kelsey for offering these classes!!

Since meeting Kelsey my life has changed in so many ways. I started practicing yoga a few months ago to help with stress and health issues. From the first class I felt at ease, thanks to Kelsey’s always positive, motivating attitude and sweet soul! Yoga is now a daily part of my life. I consider Kelsey a dear friend and I am now part of a community of strong, loving women! Life just keeps getting better and Kelsey’s guidance and motivation is a huge part of that.
— Laurie Jackson
Just got done with the flow and LOVED it! Didn't realize how much I missed your voice and flows! Felt like I was back in the studio! My spine and hips needed those twists more than I realized. Any and all flows that include low lunge twists and exalted warrior make me happy!!
—Marin Miller
Gotta give a shout out!! Kelsey gave me more than I knew I needed last night. I was driving by and something made me turn in, and there was somehow a spot open.
For my first class back I was nervous, it was a challenging and grounding class. I felt connected to the energy of the room, but also heard my own body in a way I haven’t in months. I was feeling immense guilt. My heart was sitting in Vermont but I physically stuck in Charleston, or I guess I was just feeling stuck in general. I was holding onto the sadness of the passing of a friend who I didn’t get to say goodbye to. Listening to Kelsey’s words at the end of class, her tone (like always) just hit. It vibrated within me. I cried alone on my mat. The gentle falling from my cheek to the mat someone felt more healing than all the sobbing I had done all week. I don’t know what pulled me to the studio last night. But I cannot begin to truly thank you. I needed that class.

I am so grateful for Kelsey's online recorded classes! I just finished one this morning and it was such a great way to start up my day. It always helps me loosen up and stretch out doing one of her flows in the morning time. Also love the sequencing and the power behind the flow!!
—Amelia Noel
We have a small yoga group in my neighborhood and hired Kelsey as our teacher! WOW! After trying out four teachers we fell in love with her. She takes the time to teach the poses, shows us how to do them the right way, pushes us to grow in our practice and is always kind, happy and loving. We look forward to seeing her each week!

I have never been involved in a Yoga class or had any kind of Yoga experience when I stepped into Kelsey’s yoga class for the first time this past Fall season. I had heard from others about the wonderful benefits of Yoga but had not experienced it for myself. I had become very weak in my upper body arms and shoulder areas. I also had quite a bit of pain in those areas too. I have noticed a tremendous strength difference since I have been doing Yoga with Kelsey in the upper body areas. I also do not endure pain in those areas like I had prior to Yoga.
Kelsey is a wonderful teacher!! I would recommend her to all who are new to Yoga or experienced Yoga students. She does not make you feel awkward or ignorant if you do not know how to do a move or if you get confused during Yoga class. Kelsey is encouraging and is able to teach to all Yoga levels and she will have a beginner like me trying head stands by the end of a 12 week session. She plays the music in class just right —— it is not too loud or annoying and she has essential oils misting in the background which we all love and enjoy. She ends our class with a small massage to the neck area with coconut oil and truly seems to genuinely care about each person in the class. She also mixes the class routines so that it is not the same and it is never boring it is always full of new and old yoga moves to keep it exciting.
I would recommend Yoga and Kelsey’s teaching to anyone who wants to enjoy Yoga to the FULLEST!!

I have wanted to go on a yoga retreat for several years so being part of this one was very special to me as I knew one of the instructors, Christine. The manner in which Christine and Kelsey developed the activities was awe inspiring. I’d definitely take another trip similar to this one!
— Ann Skerkavich
This was my second yoga retreat and first with Christine and Kelsey. They did a great job organizing and promoting the event and keeping the format varied enough for all yoga types. The site they chose in the mountains was amazing and the hikes they planned were exciting and out of the ordinary. There was an added surprise 5 minute mediation with our feet in the mountain stream followed by a silent walk that made that day extra special. I look forward to their next retreat!
— Elizabeth Fisher
I had so much fun! Thank you Kelsey and Christine had an amazing weekend in store for us. I miss doing yoga twice a day and the food was phenomenal! I wish I could have stayed a few extra days.
— Lauren Swann
What a beautiful, amazing, thoughtful, fueling retreat! Thank you for leading us and bringing us into community. I loved the hikes and appreciating our unique location, the yoga, the food, the space for connection, all so great! Thank you.
