What PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Thank you for your hospitality! I felt welcomed and very happy. Congrats on what you are doing. You all are amazing."
Daniela Romero Montes
"Just one hell of a trip and vacation. Very beautiful in all regards. The house ran to perfection by Val. Ira knowledge of yoga is the best. I have been doing yoga for 13 years. I have a wide range of yoga classes and types I have done. Most invigorating fun I’ve had in a long time. Austin puts his heart into his massages. The tarot reading with Claire was exceptional and so point on. Taking away a few things away from things I have learned."
Derek Diamond
"These classes have helped me find my peace. A friend of mine referred me. After taking many of Ira's classes, I was able to learn how to focus and most of all let go of my stress. I was never really a big yoga person, but now I have converted and it feels amazing."

"If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, and need some time to just to get away without having to worry about anything, that this retreat will be the perfect destination for you.
I had the pleasure of participating in a five day Quantum Leap Retreat, and it was by far one of my all-time favorite vacations. The space itself is raw. Real. Authentic. Wonderful. You can tell that the owners, Val and Ira, but a lot of love and energy into creating this beautiful space. We had two yoga classes, a day and a daily meditation along with activities for each day that we were there. The instructors are inspired you and provided great guidance throughout every flow. It’s far as location it couldn’t have been better. Within walking distance, there are tons of great restaurants. A little shops. The beach is less than 2 miles away. There’s a paved path from the retreat to the beach which takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk over.

"Transforming, enlightening-mind/body/spirit connection, finding the soul self. I enjoyed the teaching/experience/hospitality. Great environment! Met so many amzing people and felt like a little family here. Unity LOVE helpful tools taught to cope w/ mental/ physical/ emotional pain - lots of releases through energy work/ shamanic breath/ and asana practice. I felt confident and supported. Instructed well! Continued my journey into the self."
Christina Hurta
"The environment at Quantum Leap Retreats is contagious and everyone is so positive and supportive. After the first few days we all felt like family. This was much more than what i was expecting. I did not just enhance my knowledge of postures, and sanskrit, but really learned a lot about the mind, body and spirit yoga truly is. I am leaving with more confidence. This was a life changing experience and I am so grateful and feel so privileged to know the beautiful people here and to have so many memories. Namaste"
Alex Bourguignon
"Quantum Leap Retreats has been a very unique and unforgettable experience for me. Coming from England and living a single life for many years, I thought it might be challenging to live in a house with 7 others: however, I haved loved every moment of sharing, what I have become to consider, a home. The deep and close connection during the yoga practice, meditations and workshops have lifted my spirits and I surprised myself when I took the plunge to ride a bike for the first time in forty years! This was very empowering and I intend to continue to do this when i return to the UK!
I sum the experience up as a journey, within a journey. Thank you Val and Ira."
Gaynor Atkins
"After the week was over a felt "lighter", rejuvenated and enthusiastic to follow a healthier and satisfying life path. I truly look forward to going back soon!
My week long stay was educational, inspiring, challenging, enlightening and fun! Valerie and Ira are not just great yoga teachers but more of life coaches, using their vast knowledge to assist every guest/student when and where they need guidance to improve their physical and mental health to live a more balanced life. Starting our day with meditation and yoga, set the stage for an enjoyable and rewarding day. Truly enjoyed all the different styles of yoga and meditation we were introduced to and already started incorporating those in my life. Don't miss a massage with Austin, he is the best! The private coaching session with Valerie, who helped me better understand my specific dietary needs, was life changing."
Nancy Aravanis
"Everything was very personalized, not only did I get some much-needed rest and relaxation, but the long weekend was an amazing growth and learning experience. So grateful to have had the opportunity to spend four days here. I would highly recommend this yoga retreat to anyone looking for an opportunity to decompress and reflect with loving support and guidance."
Jackie Cogswell
"Quantum Leap Retreat is magical. I don't know how else to describe what happens there. It changed my life, I found health, fitness, friendship and love! What more can anyone ask for?
Tonya T
This was the best retreat from the cozy accommodations to the Quantum Leap Retreat Community being so friendly, caring and personable.
I loved the healthy smoothies we learned to make. The yoga and meditation classes were exactly what my body and spirit needed. Of course relaxing outside by the pool and at the beach were blissful. I was truly able to rest and recharge. I had one of the best body treatments ever as well. My experience was by far above and beyond what I had hoped for that I will be back again soon."
Marie Costello
"I was able to focus on meditating more without disruption, focus more on my body through yoga, and meet people of like mind.
Peaceful Retreat Near Fun Outdoor Activities! I sought time away to meditate and focus on my health. I chose this retreat because it offered yoga, meditation, healthy smoothies, and nice accommodations. I appreciated the teachers, Claire and Austin, for their caring attitudes and the adept skills they offered guests."
Paula
"If your heart is ready to experience itself or you just want an opportunity to unplug and engage in loving self care; DO THIS!
THE OWNERS- Valerie and Ira LIVE the values expressed in these words and it comes through profoundly in their actions. Their authenticity is trumped only by how much of themselves they pour into each guest, making guests feel as special as this place. These are real people, real personalities, dealing with the same issues, and concerns as everyone else. Yet the grace, openness and honesty with which they deal with both guests and students is a rarity in this life. This energy emanates from them continuously and I found it both humbling and incredibly beautiful. It filled me with such hope to know that there are people like this in the world. They are intuitive, intelligent, and live the yoga life is such a way that even the novice can find their rhythm with it."

Mauricia Scott
"I recently attended a transformative 3-day yoga retreat at, led by the incredible instructors Ira and Val. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported on my journey.
Both Ira and Val possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise, which they generously shared with us throughout the retreat. Their guidance was invaluable, as they patiently answered all our questions and tailored the program to suit each student's needs. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a complete beginner like myself, you'll feel right at home. One of the highlights of the retreat was the cold-hot-cold plunge therapy, a rejuvenating experience that left me feeling refreshed and energized. Additionally, the morning sunrise meditation on the beach was truly magical, setting the tone for each day with a sense of tranquility and mindfulness. I also appreciated the tour around the area and the recommendations provided by Ira and Val for local dining and activities."

"I greatly appreciate all your efforts in providing this nourishing space for your guests. I am sending a note to say Thank You again for my recent retreat. I was so pleased with both of your yoga classes. You both are very knowledgeable instructors. Your little tidbits on posture and poses will really help me with my future practices, so I’m very grateful for that. I’m so grateful for your generous efforts to make time and interact with each of us, including the surprise Welcome Dinners. And I especially enjoyed your invite to the Kirtan concert. That was so special. I also loved the added services you include with the retreat to fold into your guest experience. Thank you again."

"After a wonderful experience 2 years ago, I know this is the place for a reset of both mind and body. In addition to all the nutritional counselling and benefits of juice fasting, Valerie & Ira have created a peaceful, calming environment. Meditation, yoga, tai chi & more. I'm so excited for another stay for your Detox Retreat."
Laughing Buddha
"I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a laid-back, safe and beautiful place to re-connect and get highly qualified yoga and meditation instruction.
I had an amazing retreat experience. Val and Ira were very accommodating. They create a really beautiful space. I love how they make it open and tailored to each person's own experience. I was able to get exactly what I needed from my retreat, and I appreciate that. They also did a great job pairing us up for roommate options and had great recommendations for dinner spots and afternoon activities. I enjoyed Ira's fireside chats and morning meditations as well as Val's afternoon yoga classes. You truly can get whatever you need out of this retreat. Thanks Val and Ira! I hope to see you again. :)"
Chelsea Stotts
"By the end of the week I was more relaxed and healthier than I have been in a long time. Would highly recommend as a place to go to unwind, rejuvenate, reconnect and refresh.
Stayed here for 5 days. Val and Ira are incredibly welcoming and supportive. Loved the saltwater pool, the shared kitchen to make smoothies, and the daily yoga and meditation classes."

Ilona Booth
I was feeling stressed, depressed and had no energy. I found Quantum Leap Retreats by chance-looking for a safe, relaxing environment with some decent amenities. I was not expecting to learn so much-about nutrition, healthy life style changes and yoga, (I had never done yoga-in my 62 years)! Great locations-walk/bike to beach! 2 saltwater pools, hot tubs, great smoothies (I continue to make every day)-excellent massages, 2 kinds of yoga classes per day-and plenty of time to relax, explore and meet and connect with really interesting people-of all ages and all walks of life! I was there for 2 weeks-I left-feeling like a new person!! Energized, refreshed, tan and 5 pounds lighter!!! Thank You Val, Ira- and your great team and guests -that made this such a rewarding and memorable experience!"
