Retreat Reviews
I recently attended Cheryl’s Block Island Yoga Retreat Mother's Day Weekend 2026, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. Block Island is a breathtaking destination filled with stunning ocean views, natural beauty, charming shops, wonderful restaurants, and welcoming people. We stayed at a beautiful oceanfront inn that provided the perfect setting for beach yoga, guided meditation, delicious breakfasts, and joyful happy hours. Because Cheryl reserved the entire inn exclusively for Twisted Sister Yoga guests, we quickly bonded and truly felt like sisters by the end of the weekend. In addition to leading us through meaningful yoga practices and spiritual reflection, Cheryl offered a variety of memorable activities, including horseback riding, scenic cliff walks, seal watching, and even a visit to an exotic animal farm. My heart was smiling after this unforgettable weekend.

I recently attended Twisted Sister Yoga Block Island yoga retreat led by Cheryl Lovelace, and I cannot say enough amazing things about it. It was truly a safe a nurturing environment to bring peace back in and reconnect with myself after months of working and stress. All of the other women in attendance were so friendly and welcoming that it made being alone so much easier. All levels of yoga practice were accepted and the extra activities offered were so much fun! The accommodations were clean and beautiful and the food was simply delicious! It was easy to see that Cheryl puts her whole heart into providing an unforgettable experience for all of her attendees. She’s an excellent instructor and truly cares about her community. I cannot wait to do it again! ~ Lauren L. May 2026
May 2026 ~ This was my first retreat with Cheryl to Block Island. To say it was amazing is an understatement! The experiences and conversations, as well as prayer, with the wonderful group of women who attended were uplifting, enjoyable and entertaining. The restaurants that were selected for dinner were delicious. Shout out to Sabrina for her wonderful homemade breakfasts at Avonlea Jewel of the Sea. Cheryl does an excellent job planning and running her retreats. I look forward to the day when I can attend another one at another beautiful location. ~ Sharon C.
I just returned from the Twisted Sister Yoga Retreat Mother's Day Weekend 2026, led by Cheryl Lovelace, and I can’t say enough about this life-changing experience. Cheryl has an amazing ability to connect with every person in the group—no matter their background or skill level. The retreat was so uplifting, and there was truly something for everyone. Whether you were a beginner or a seasoned yogi, you could make it your own, and every moment felt intentional. I left feeling more grounded, connected, present and inspired. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking personal growth, a full body and mind reset, community, and a deep, heartfelt connection to their faith. ~ Jenna I.
May 2026 ~ Cheryl has an incredible knack for bringing people together and connecting the group throughout the entire weekend together. She wove in with words of wisdom, scripture, healing, and shared sense of belonging. The Yoga classes were lovely, challenging and easily modified for those that may have needed something less intense. A wonderful spiritual journey that’s Great for all levels! ~ Kate T.
