"I just got back from a magical trip with Crystal and her crew in Crete, October 2025. I have traveled all over the world, and this has to be one of the most organized, professional, five-star tours I’ve experienced.

The accommodations were breathtaking, the food and daily tours were exciting and pleasurable, and daily yoga by the sea was centering! Every experience was thoughtfully created and executed.

I left feeling centered, nourished, and balanced. What an amazing adventure and a perfect balance for the mind, body, and soul. I am signing up for the next event!"

 "Crystal, who was the heart and founder of True North Yoga in Paducah, KY, for 10 years, has been a constant guiding light. Her warmth, intuition, and deep understanding of the practice create an environment where everyone feels seen and supported.

Recently, I joined one of her luxury yoga retreats in Crete, Greece, and it was a truly transformational experience connecting mind, body, and soul while forming friendships that feel like family. No matter where or how you practice with Crystal, you will begin to live more authentically and embody the wisdom of yoga.

​

Crystal creates community, a journey, and a reminder of who you really are in her classes, retreats, and trainings. I am endlessly grateful for the grounding energy she continues to offer and excited to begin my own teacher training with her soon."

 "An absolutely fabulous trip in beautiful Crete. The yoga and the curated tours—cooking, hiking, and sailing—were wonderful! Crystal, Ella, and Maria went above and beyond at all times, ensuring that each traveler was personally well taken care of. So much fun and great food too. If more than five stars were an option, my recommendation would be extremely high! Thank you for a wonderful week!"

"My recent trip to Greece was the experience of a lifetime. From start to finish, everything was so thoughtfully organized that I was able to completely immerse myself in the adventure. The luxury hotel was absolutely stunning, elegant, comfortable, with top-notch amenities and breathtaking views that made every yoga session feel mystical. The sunrises and sunsets were pure magic!

All the food throughout the trip was phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and authentically Greek. One of the highlights was our Cretan cooking class, where we learned to make traditional dishes using local ingredients and then shared a beautiful meal together. Our chef, Effi, was incredible. Her warmth and knowledge brought the flavors and traditions of Crete to life.

​

Our hike through the breathtaking Mills Gorge was invigorating and full of wonder, with so many beautiful plants and wildlife to discover along the way. Exploring the Minoan ruins and learning about ancient history added such depth and meaning to the experience. 

​

A special highlight of the trip was our retreat leader, Crystal Bailey, whose warmth, wisdom, and calming presence made the journey truly transformative. Her yoga classes were beautifully sequenced and aligned with the rhythm of each day, creating space for both restoration and inspiration. Crystal’s genuine care for each participant and her deep passion for sharing yoga made the retreat feel personal, heart-centered, and unforgettable.

​

From the people to the scenery to every thoughtful detail, this trip was extraordinary. I came home feeling renewed, inspired, and already dreaming of the next adventure with Crystal Bailey!"
