YOUR TEACHERS

With over a decade of combined teaching experience, these two bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and passion to every one of their offerings. You are sure to feel well guided and cared for throughout your retreat experience.

lead teacher
Dolly Reno, 500HR E-RYT

For Dolly, what began as a recreational drop-in class many years ago, resulted in a paradigm shift to her values and spiritual identity.

Dolly applies her multi-disciplinary training and experience with trauma therapy to any opportunity where she can offer guidance whether it be on or off the mat.

Dolly guides her students with kindness and an unwavering belief that yoga is a journey of redefining what it means to be vulnerable and to understand vulnerability as something powerful and sincere, rather than something weak.

Dolly is the founder of ‘Noble’ and she welcomes you with an open heart.

guest teacher
BETHANY godreau, 200HR RYT

Yoga found Bethany in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in a moment of turbulence. She is a dedicated student and this commitment to continuous growth infuses her teaching with a deep sense of authenticity and passion.

Bethany is a teacher with a reverence for inclusive and creative spaces. Drawing from backgrounds in burlesque, pole dance, and aerial arts, Bethany invites a distinctly playful nature into the yoga practice.

Bethany will be sharing her passion and expertise in multiple
classes over the course of the retreat.

Testimonials

  • The Mixto retreat checked all the boxes and more.

    12 OUT OF 10!

    The Mixto retreat checked all the boxes and more - the food, the accommodations, the beauty, the company, the pace, the vibe... ALL STELLAR.

    I was able to rest and reflect and rejuvenate. It was one of the best vacations I have had in a very long time. The perfect balance of committed activity and free time. It was luxurious and productive. I felt lighter, calmer and overflowing with gratitude when I left. Wish I could still be there!”

    - Judy Rose

  • I had such an incredible time that I was the first one to sign up for next year.

    This was my very first yoga retreat. I just started yoga not that long before and I wasn’t sure about going on retreat and spending time with a group of people I didn’t know doing a practice I was new to. But I had such an incredible time that I was the first one to sign up for next year. The Mixto Villa is absolutely stunning and their staff were so kind and attentive. Dolly and Bethany were amazing; not only are they both such talented teachers but they are also very thoughtful organizers and hosts, ensuring our every need was met and that every practice was heartfelt. If you have a chance to go, don’t wait, life is too short and this will retreat is one of a kind.

  • It was an experience we will cherish always!

    Noble Yoga’s 2024 retreat in Mixto Mexico was an unparalleled meditative and healing journey! Dolly’s meticulous attention to all aspects of the retreat ensured the travel logistics ran smoothly. All the activities balanced community-building amongst participants with individual leisure preferences.

I was blessed to share the experience with my daughter, it was an experience we will cherish always. !

    A joyous flow of Yoga, restful meditations, self-realization in a stunning tropical five star resort. The gorgeous Villas, the fresh food, activities, beach walks, poolside R+R....the wonderful staff.
