I have been on 6 Freedom Yoga Retreats with Jax now and each has been truly memorable, for all the best reasons: a deepening knowledge and experience of yoga for sure but also meaningful and very enjoyable connections with the other retreaters, adventure, greater knowledge of and wonderful experiences in the beautiful and inspiring settings, lots and lots of fun, and always a very welcome disconnecting from life’s busy-ness and a reconnecting with myself. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Having been a keen yogi for many years I persuaded my husband (a complete novice to yoga) to join me on a Freedom Yoga Retreat in Thailand March 25. The retreat was a wonderful experience from the very start. Friendly people, two fabulous yoga teachers led to us returning home feeling relaxed and totally rejuvenated….. so much so that we are returning again in February ‘26.

I attended two Freedom Yoga and Retreats led by Jax, one in Thailand and one in Nepal. Both were unforgettable experiences! As my introduction to yoga, the retreats were welcoming, inspiring, and accessible. A perfect blend of practice, travel and community.

After suddenly being widowed I needed some self care, so after only a few yoga sessions I flew to Thailand for a retreat with Freedom. Not knowing what to expect it was the best thing I could of done. It was like a relaxing, rejuvenating detox wrapped in a hug. I've made lifelong friends & have already booked my next one.

Freedom Yoga and Retreats (and Jackie) have genuinely helped me return to and rediscover myself. After two retreats in the last three years (Thailand and Greece) I’ve grown personally, developed my love of yoga, rekindled my love for adventure and travel, and leave feeling inspired, grounded and renewed. I wholeheartedly recommend her retreats.

I'm lucky enough to have been to two Freedom Yoga Retreats in Thailand, the first in 2023 changed my life by starting my yoga journey. Meeting locals, spending time in nature, incredible trips and experiencing my surroundings with mindfulness and curiosity taught me to be present. Thank you so much!

As a complete beginner to yoga I quickly understood there would be no judgement. I went into the retreat with an open heart, and this is what was returned to me. Jackie is a brilliant teacher and guide, and the Thai people were beautiful and welcoming. So, if you get the chance, GO!

I went on my first retreat to Thailand in 2025. From the moment we arrived we were looked after. From the yoga, the amazing food, trips out on kayaks and sailing on the traditional long boats to visit some of the smaller islands. The whole trip was amazing, and I cannot wait to go back next year.

“A most unexpectedly enriching experience. I loved the accommodation, the yoga and Tai Chi, the food, and the daily rhythm. The excursions, the free day, kayaking and scooters — it genuinely blew my mind.

Independent travel built my confidence, and the group made it even richer. The guided yoga encouraged self-discovery through mindfulness, journalling and breathwork. Jackie’s enthusiasm is boundless. If you’re seeking adventure, inspiration and real connection — take the leap.”

My time with Freedom Yoga is without a doubt one of the greatest weeks of my life. The Thai islands provide an idyllic backdrop for a week of practice, and there is plenty to explore and experience. The yoga is accessible yet thorough and varies throughout the week; there is time to reflect and release as well as time to energise and nourish. Freedom Yoga an opportunity to connect with likeminded people, and most importantly to connect with yourself. I will always cherish the memories of my week in Thailand.

Community. Adventure. Loving yoga. Spectacular scenery. A retreat with a difference which can be felt and sensed. Just the break I needed to renew myself and reconnect with Nature and my Inner Being.

Jax has a warm and welcoming presence- she teaches from her heart with a vast knowledge of yoga,and insight into human nature which is very grounding and calming. My first retreat in Thailand has opened a new chapter for me and I can’t wait for the next one

My journey with Freedom Yoga began with the words, “I want to do what you do.” Through Jackie’s teaching and my 200-hour YTT, I was held through both darkness and light, supported in ways I didn’t yet understand. Her retreats offer a rare space of deep rest, safety, and renewal. Jackie’s teaching has been truly life-changing.

I didnt know a soul when I arrived and left with lifelong friends. A life changing experience. Thank you for your guidance, friendship and wisdom Jaxx. Am so looking forward to seeing you again in another beautiful location.

Magical! This was our first retreat and first trip to Thailand. The energy from Jax and Nicki ensured we immediately felt at home. It was spiritual of course, but kind and caring and we laughed a lot of the time. We felt like we were wrapped in a warm blanket that tickled sometimes. We smiled all the way home and knew we would come back.

I joined Jax on her yoga retreat in Thailand (my third retreat with her) and it was truly special. Jax anticipated every comfort while thoughtfully arranging activities that immersed us in local, environmentally kind ways of living. Rustic and humbling, the experience challenged Western ideals, brought us closer to ourselves, and allowed us to meet ourselves fully.

Every now and then you find yourself in a space that wakes up a little place inside of you that changes forever.

For that I am truly grateful.

Each unique. Every one filled with connection, love, laughter and adventure.

Thank you Jaxx

Although I have loved yoga for years, I wasn’t sure that retreats would be for me. I was wrong! Freedom Yoga Retreats are a wonderfully precious space for whatever you need them to be. I always leave them with peace, clarity and feeling a bit more like ‘me’ than before!

I have enjoyed weeks of yoga fun laughter making beautiful memories with soo many lovely people this year in Thailand and Nepal.

I am so excited for 2026 to experience travelling again with Jax @ freedom yoga.

I was so inspired by Jax that I am now doing my YTT

My mind and body feels alive again.

The whole experience was so much more than yoga, Jax has put her heart and soul into ensuring every moment delivers what you from challenging or restorative yoga, a time to pause or reflect, friendships and laughter, self-care, mindfulness and thought. Activities to make you feel at one with the jewels and culture of Thailand. freedom yoga released the best version of myself that had been mislaid on life’s journeys . I will certainly be doing another one (or two or three)

I’ve been to Freedom Retreats in Nepal and Thailand. Both were so special. Each retreat met me where I was and changed me in different ways. They were healing and transformative. Jackie creates such a safe, supportive space that I always come away able to make real, lasting change.

Freedom yoga and retreats has given me life lasting memories of some of the most amazing destinations you could wish to visit . I’ve met some of the most incredible people and life long friends. Freedom retreats are like no other such wonderful experiences and truly incredible people. Thank you Jackie x

I struggle to think of a more serene, happy and awe inspiring time in my life than the Thailand retreat. Curated to perfection by a woman who cares so deeply about other people and their well-being. In an environment I couldn’t have even dreamed up. Truly a life affirming experience.

Yoga freedom retreats was the uplifting soul finding experience I needed.

Going through a divorce, looking to love me again…I was lost but the genuine love and support from everyone at freedom on the yoga retreats to Morocco and Thailand brought me the clarity and confidence I needed.

I’d recommend Jackie’s passion for yoga and awe inspiring energy to everyone.

Freedom Yoga Retreats has been a grounding, joyful and deeply nourishing experience, bringing a sense of ease and openness that allows real connection formed through movement, laughter, and meaningful conversation. Strangers quickly feel like friends. Jax & FYR offer me space to be fully myself—supported, cared for, and free—while feeling held by a warm, welcoming community.
