YAF is a place that goes beyond just moving your body. I’ve been practicing yoga for years living in Paris, NYC, and my hometown Chicago. I discovered YAF when we moved to the suburbs after having our first child. This place is a gem in none other than Downers Grove! This place helped me to reconnect with my body and soul post-partum and beyond. Highly recommend trying a class with Laura Jane the founder. The studio also hosts regular events and special workshops such as sound healing. A wonderful place if you’re looking for a true yogic community.

This studio looked very promising. I booked a class for my daughter and myself but had to cancel a week before the class. I have inquired a few times about a refund. I haven't gotten a response so I'm guessing I'm not getting a refund. It might be a nice place for yoga but not very nice if they don't refund. Beware

This was an amazing trip for me. I have been on several yoga retreats with Laura Jane but this was the first one that I went on alone because my friend, at the last minute, could not make the trip with me - but I had full confidence that I would find like-minded friends on this retreat and would not feel like I was there "alone". I was not disappointed. The men and women on the retreat were all adventurous, serious about their yoga and very respectful of each other.
We had yoga practice in the morning and late afternoon with opportunities for hiking and evening group discussion that gave us a chance to get to know each other. And the sight-seeing and beach days were the perfect balance to make the trip feel relaxing yet still immersing ourselves in the local culture.
The Santillan was exquisite - the rooms were peaceful and beautiful and our chef was amazing. The food was delicious with lots of variety and when someone cooks for you - it is like being hugged and it was wonderful. Additionally, the pool was a refreshing and lovely retreat - on its own.
There have been a lot of changes in my life in the last year and this trip really helped to fill my depleted cup. The accommodations, the hosts and of course, the yoga instruction by Laura Jane was exactly what my soul needed.
Whether choosing to take this trip with a special friend or friends or going alone - I highly recommend this retreat with Laura Jane - she is an excellent yogi and teacher of all things yoga. You will love what this trip offers. I highly recommend!

I am grateful for the opportunity to have spent a week under Laura Jane's guidance and support, where she generously shared her gifts and purpose with me. Throughout this experience, I learned the significance of carving out time for self-care and being fully present. Laura's retreats have not only brought me immense joy but have also fostered my personal growth, offering me a greater sense of presence and self-awareness. The spiritual connection, the embrace of the unknown, and the camaraderie with fellow travelers were the highlights of this weekend for me. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and inviting, and the thoughtfully curated practices held deep, meaningful significance. I am filled with gratitude for having had the opportunity to spend time in such a breathtaking place. Malaga, Spain, is truly a magical destination, and the resort, with its exceptional cuisine and outdoor spaces, was nothing short of extraordinary.

This was one of the most remarkable vacations I've taken and probably the best yoga retreat ever! Laura Jane offers something for everyone, from the twice-daily yoga practices, to the remarkable accommodations and food, and the wonderful daily excursions. I saw parts of France regular tourists miss and did it with an amazing group of yogis -- everyone was so welcoming and friendly. This is the fourth retreat I've done with Laura Jane, and it was truly "next level". I've already signed up for next year's retreat to Spain.

The Icelandic Yoga Retreat was magical. The lodgings were cozy and clean, the yoga room was beautiful (especially at night!), amenities were perfect (sauna, hot tub under the stars, expert masseuse), and we were treated to three expertly and lovingly prepared meals a day by our dedicated chef. The twice daily yoga practice was accessible to all levels and Laura Jane made a point of teaching the whole of yoga, not just the physical practice. We had a wonderful group of human beings and it was a pleasure spending time with each one.

Everything was so natural, like windows meant to overlook the snow covered mountains, but cozy and warm both in our cabins and lodge. Ideally located for a retreat and meals were created by an delightful chef. Laura Jane led us with just the amount of yoga and activity to keep it still a relaxing retreat.
