My Ischia retreat was a memorable experience I will cherish for life. A yoga retreat with friends old and new and surrounded in a beautiful setting. Mandy’s yoga style is a beautiful blend of yoga, breath work and mantras. She is extremely knowledgeable in yoga and in the human anatomy and also lighthearted with a great sense of humor.

Mandy’s teaching is so beautiful. Her love of teaching and her desire to keep learning herself means the retreat experience is always extremely unique and special. I can’t quite express how valuable I find the retreats. They always help me come back to myself & empower me with new knowledge and understanding of the practice.

Mandy is a brilliant teacher, so well prepared, every session a delightful journey for the mind body & spirit. She has a wonderful skill for reaching everyone in the group & offering different ranges & levels of practice for each individual to choose from. After a week of practices in such an idyllic setting I feel totally rejuvenated.

The retreat on Ischia Island, Italy, hosted by Mandy Brinkley, was a truly transformative experience. Mandy proved to be an outstanding teacher, skillfully guiding us through various aspects of yoga, including flow, breathwork, and meditation. The picturesque location added to the serenity of the retreat, making each session a true escape. I left the retreat with a treasure trove of new tools for daily life, and I couldn't recommend it more for anyone seeking a holistic yoga experience in a stunning setting.

As a yoga teacher Mandy is a safe pair of hands. She delivers her practice with thoughtfulness and intelligence. Her yoga is ever evolving and feels "alive" and always relevant. That is to say, in our ever challenging and uncertain world, she provides grounding practices that help to navigate these complexities and to hold true to core values. Over the years that I have worked with Mandy, whether in a class, 1-1 or zoom yoga nidra, I ALWAYS feel the benefits. Without fail she offers up her work in the spirit of generosity , curiosity and fun. And this helps to keep me engaged in my own practice with the same spirit.

Mandy is one of the most authentic teachers I know. I have known and been learning with Mandy since 2016 and have worked with her online, in person 1:1 and on retreat, both as a participant and as a collaborator. Mandy has an expansive toolkit to draw from (breath, asana, meditation, sound, ritual, retreat to name a few) and has an incredible ability to see and hold you in your practice. Whether in person or online, I have always felt deeply supported by Mandy's presence. During her teaching, her verbal cues are spot on, and often invite me (also a seasoned yogi and teacher) to find something new or deepen something in my own practice. When you practice with Mandy you commit to a deeper connection to yourself. And I'm so glad I met this incredible woman and teacher and I hope you get to as well! Thank you Mandy, so grateful for you and your dedication to your students and the practice!

My retreat with Mandy invigorated and rekindled my commitment to daily practice and meditation. The yoga retreat provided a safe and welcoming place to explore and experience the various offerings, such as, asanas, meditation, breath and energy practices, and yoga nidra. Most of all, Mandy provided a sacred space for quiet, individual contemplation and reflection, while at the same time fostering a togetherness of spirit by providing group lunches and time to share with one another.

Practising 1-1 with Mandy is real and true selfcare...It is an opportunity to listen to your body, breath, flow and just be, and to be more conscious... I recommend to everyone to practise with her because she has the ability to propose practices that will help you in many ways. I am more conscious and more able to flow with life... Her guidance feels very natural and her good energy flows in every class.

Words cannot express the beauty and joy that reaches deep into your heart from the time spent with Mandy on this retreat. Her teaching is wise and responsive and I was gently challenged to explore my practice a little deeper. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing such abundance with us in this very special place

Mandy is an inspiring and creative teacher. The variety and depth of her teaching means there is always something new to discover, and her guidance and encouragement to be playful, to be free to adapt and recognise what is right for each of us individually has helped me to be more confident in heart/mind/body. Although not a feature of her online offerings I remember from live workshops in the past that she also makes really good cakes!
