CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Laura
I had a fantastic time while on tour with Deanna. It was amazing. She greeted us tired travellers with open arms and fresh coconuts. The rest of my vacation just flowed from one adventure to another. Brazil came alive for me with food, dance, yoga, play, and relaxation. She organized so many lovely activities all a great pace that I could enjoy the culture and local scenery. I came home with so many memories and stories. I would highly recommend Deanna and any of her tours. She seems to seek out the best experience.
Roselyn
I have done many classes and multiple yoga retreats with Deanna. Her experience and devotion to the practice is evident in every class she teaches. I love that she is attentive to the different levels of each student. Her teaching style is all inclusive and she goes out of her way to make people with all different levels of experience feel welcome and encouraged.
Elise
There are two parts to doing a tour: one is what your guide shows you and the other is your guide.
With Deanna, both parts are wonderful. She works hard to bring you the best experiences and she is fun and adventurous in how she does it, with scrupulous attention to detail.
You will love her tours!
