Overall Review of Michelle's Retreat

differentiator 13 reviews mention this

Holistic wellness program stands out

Residents describe a structured wellness retreat that combines mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual practices.

Residents describe a daily flow that focuses on more than one area of wellbeing, with meditation, yoga, breathwork, and group guidance woven through the week. Multiple reviews say the program gave them practical “tools” to keep using after they left. A number of guests also mention group discussions and workshops aimed at personal growth and clarity, not just classes.

Plant-based meals and fasting

Meals are repeatedly described as delicious, plant-based, and paired with fasting or nutrition guidance.

Many residents highlight the food as a strong point, calling it delicious and freshly prepared, with an emphasis on plant-based eating. Several reviews also mention fasting (including intermittent fasting) as part of the routine, alongside guidance about nutrition and how to apply it at home. The community offers meal preparation and service plus support for special dietary restrictions and diabetes diet needs, which aligns with residents calling out dietary fit.

Yoga, meditation, and breathwork

Yoga, meditation, and breathwork are central to the week’s routine, with multiple styles discussed.

Residents consistently mention yoga and meditation as core parts of the retreat, often describing variety such as hot yoga, aerial yoga, and yoga nidra. Breathwork and guided meditation also come up repeatedly as ways the program helped them shift their mindset and feel more grounded. Several reviews describe room for learning—whether new to yoga or looking to deepen a practice—while still feeling challenged.

common 7 reviews mention this

Sauna and hot tub relaxation

Relaxation amenities like the sauna and hot tub are repeatedly mentioned as part of the experience.

Several reviews describe using a hot tub and sauna to unwind between sessions, especially after yoga, hikes, or more active days. Residents also mention downtime that made the week feel balanced rather than nonstop. This matches the community amenities that include an outdoor space, garden, and high-speed internet plus housekeeping and fully furnished accommodations.

common 19 reviews mention this

Supportive hosts and staff

Residents describe the hosts and team as welcoming, supportive, and attentive to comfort.

A large share of reviews focus on how the hosts made them feel safe and cared for throughout the stay. Many say the team was kind, responsive, and involved—supporting meals, accommodating needs, and checking in during the week. Some guests also mention receiving ongoing follow-up after the retreat, including resources and continued contact for weeks.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Some guests found the schedule rigid

A couple of reviewers said the program felt high-control and offered limited flexibility.

Two lower-rated reviews describe feeling overwhelmed by a rigid, highly scheduled format and limited follow-through on certain teaching ideas. They also mention feeling pressured in group settings and, in one case, that dietary restrictions were not addressed before arrival. Both concerns are about fit with the retreat style rather than a lack of overall effort.

common 6 reviews mention this

Park City setting gets praised

Guests frequently point to the setting and views as part of what made the stay memorable.

Many reviews mention beautiful surroundings, views, and time outdoors—like walks and hikes—as a meaningful backdrop to the program. Some also say they enjoyed being able to step outside for breaks and enjoy the scenery between sessions. The community sits in Sandy, UT per the listing context, and nearby options in the area include parks and dining within a few miles.
