Jools and Jean are a brilliant team who ensure a comfortable stay in the centre of Darjeeling. It was a real pleasure to know that you’re in safe and capable hands, with people who are genuinely and wholeheartedly dedicated to their work. I’ll definitely be returning to the retreats, and I wish you all the best.

I highly recommend Reclaim yourself Retreats! I have been on 3 so far and definitely plan to go on more. All the details are taken care of and the locations are always amazing. The instructors/hosts are so awesome too. I just got back from Iceland, incredible!

From start to finish, my experience with Reclaim Yourself Retreats in Jordan was unmatched. The food was incredible, the people were warm and welcoming, and every activity was thoughtfully planned. Honestly, it was perfect. Every detail was taken care of, so all I had to do was show up and soak it all in. If you've been thinking about Jordan, go with Reclaim. I can't recommend them enough.

I came away from the yoga retreat in Jordan feeling genuinely grateful for the experience. I appreciated the warmth of the yoga teacher and the sense of community within the group.I found the retreat deeply rewarding. It gave me a chance to pause, breathe and experience Jordan in a very different way. Jools Sampson worked with some amazing local experts on the ground and the people were certainly one of the most memorable part of the retreat. I left having made some wonderful new friends and shared experiences that I will remember for a long time. Thank you Jools and James for having me.

Our second trip with Reclaim Yourself, and we’ve booked two more ! These retreats are exceptionally well run with an imaginative itinerary - our Jordan trip included stargazing, a ballon trip at sunrise and a desert camel rides. Quality of accommodation is excellent, with the emphasis on responsible travel and heritage properties from havelis in India to desert pods in Wadi Rum. Would highly recommend!

Reclaim's Mongolia Retreat was my first (a) Yoga Retreat and (b) Group Travel trip (& as a solo participant). Count myself lucky to be a Reclaim Alum & will be back for more! Jools & team did an fantastic job balancing the travel, trip-experiences & yoga across two magnificant destinations. While each of the 10 days flew by, the pace remained unhurried and I was able to fully engage through all the activities. I really appreciated how the team fostered a warm & friendly environment across the small group, and it was a truly lovely communal experience. Major shout-out to Kelly for the menu & food as well - I am not a vegetarian, but did not miss meat at all over the trip! Yoga with James was eye-opening as well, with the yurts providing a really grounding experience. We all received personal attention/modifications during the group classes that catered to varying levels of practice. Beyond the new poses & transitions, my foundation has really improved with his attention to micro-detail & expertise across breadth, movement & focus. Grateful to have been a part of this trip & massive thank you to Jools & James for the experience. 10/10. Highly Recommended!

I did the Mongolia retreat with James this year and it was excellent. Jools does an amazing job of combining a unique experience with an amazing yoga teacher. I can't wait to do another one with reclaim yourself!

Excellent - I’ve been on four retreats (South Africa/Namibia, Japan, Norway, and Iceland) and signed up for two more. Small, well-led, great yoga, great destinations. You are very well taken care of, and the company’s retreats always minimise environmental impact and maximise wellness.

I recently had the privilege of attending a yoga retreat with Reclaim Yourself to Mongolia. It was perfect! The yoga classes were led by James Rafael. The class size was small which allowed personal attention to all students, there was meditation, breath work , a powerful flow and the occasional workshop threaded in, teaching new poses and refining old poses. It was the perfect beginning and end to each day. Sleeping in yurts was new and a fun experience. One night I even scored a 98 sleep score. The vegetarian meals were outstanding, thanks to Kelly and the camp personnel . The transportation was another highlight of the trip a train ride to the Gobi desert, and Jeep excursions in the gobi and then to the next camp, traveling back trails. Then you add in the hikes and horseback riding and hot showers in the shower tent, by candlelight all coordinated by Jools. Perfect.

Several weeks have passed since my retreat in Bhutan with ReclaimYourself . I have had weeks to reflect and notice how I Feel and how I was affected by my experience . When I left I felt that the trip was a 10+++ . Extremely well organized , leaders who care about their clients and are clearly invested in their well being and just a fabulous time all the way around . After all these weeks , I still feel like the trip and company is a 10+++ . I would highly recommend Reclaim Yourself to anyone if you are looking to combine adventure with some yoga and retrospection . This group and company is wonderful!! You can’t go wrong with any of their offered retreats!! ❤️

Bhutan is extraordinary on its own — but experiencing it through this retreat elevated it into something truly transformative. From the moment we arrived, every detail was thoughtfully held. Our guides and drivers were exceptional. Patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, they kept us safe and well-informed through every hike and excursion, and their warmth made the whole journey feel personal rather than programmatic. The yoga was outstanding. I came hoping to deepen my practice and left having done exactly that. Matthew is a gem — his instruction and presence created a space where I felt fully supported every single day, on and off the mat. What sets this retreat apart is the rare combination of rigorous practice, breathtaking landscape, and people who genuinely care about your experience. Bhutan has a way of cracking you open, and having the right container for that makes all the difference.

It’s hard to put into words just how wonderful this retreat was. Carefree, culturally connected, sustainable by design, and deeply personal. I felt incredibly cared for every step of the journey to Bhutan. Jools was exceptionally thoughtful and generous with her time, knowledge, and passion for connecting people from all walks of life with meaningful experiences. She was and amazing bodyguard at the Delhi airport, and a steady support system for the group, and a savvy strategic planner who stayed 10 steps ahead at every moment. As a yogi, it was also incredible to have access to a world class instructor. I was really impressed by how selectively Jools chooses partners like Matthew that truly deepen your yoga practice in a meaningful way. If you’re looking for a life-changing adventure with a group that goes deeper than the average travel company, considers every experience, and leaves the world a little better in the process, this is the perfect opportunity to do something truly special for yourself.

You won’t find a retreat that inspires you, calms you, and genuinely immerses you in culture and connection the way Reclaim Yourself does. Jools, Chloe, Matthew, and the whole team go above and beyond to make sure you feel truly cared for. Chloe was so lovely throughout, and Matthew’s yoga sessions were such a grounding and special part of the experience. The friendships you make last a lifetime. Thank you all -you gave me so much more than just a retreat!

I’ve done 2 retreats - one in Greece and the second in Bhutan. Both retreats were incredible from start to finish. The yoga teacher Matthew is so warm and caring. Jools and Chloe keep the group organized and thought of everything. It was so nice to feel completely cared for during the trip. I am absolutely impressed with their commitment to sustainability and impacting the local community in a positive way
