I took the yoga online teacher training with Kelsey In July 2024 and then went to Panama in Nov 2024. The teacher training was more than I imagined. I met 9 spectacular women whom I spent 3 hrs per day 3x week with closely interacting and learning. It was just spectacular and Kelsey brought us all together for each session. It was fun, challenging and at times emotional. Kelsey is a fantastic teacher and helped me figure out how I wanted to apply the training for my future. The Panama retreat is something I will always cherish. It was a blast!
— Jean Ward, Get Wild Teacher Training 2024
My teacher training experience with Kelsey through Get Wild was absolutely one of the best things I have ever done. Meeting 3 times a week and connecting virtually with the my fellow trainees was so powerful and always the highlight of my week. I loved the virtual aspect was our group was from all over the country which made it even more exciting! We learned so much, became more confident and grounded, made life long connections and stepped into our power.
I am so proud to have completed the course and am so proud of my fellow teachers! The Panama retreat to cap off our training was one of my favorite weeks ever! We practiced in stunning Boca Chica, Panama and had the most amazing stay that was thoughtfully curated. Kelsey led us so beautifully and was an unwavering support system. I am so thankful to have done this and can't wait to see where it takes me!

Enrolling in the 200-hour yoga teacher training program with Kelsey through Get Wild Retreats was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The program exceeded all my expectations, offering not only a comprehensive curriculum but also a supportive and inspiring community.
Kelsey is deeply knowledgeable and approachable, sharing her expertise in anatomy, philosophy, and asana practice with clarity and passion. Each session felt thoughtfully planned, balancing physical practice, meditation, and theoretical study, leaving me with a solid foundation to start my teaching journey confidently.
What truly stood out was the emphasis on personal growth. The training challenged me to explore my inner self, develop discipline, and cultivate mindfulness both on and off the mat. The small class size fostered meaningful connections, and I felt seen and supported every step of the way.
This program didn’t just prepare me to teach—it deepened my love for yoga and gave me tools to live more authentically. I am so grateful for this incredible journey and would highly recommend it to anyone ready to take their practice and understanding to the next level.
Added bonus was a one week retreat in beautiful Panama where we all got to be together in person after training virtually for 16 weeks, 3 days a week. Each student showcased their class & were able to continue our support for one another. This week in person together was yet another transformative experience that brought the whole process together.

If you're even considering signing up for yoga teacher training, take the leap—especially with Get Wild Retreats. This experience was nothing short of extraordinary, a treasured gift that will stay with me forever.
I had the opportunity to learn, grow, and connect deeply alongside nine strong, beautiful women, all led by the inspiring Kelsey. She guided us brilliantly, preparing us to be the best teachers possible, while creating a safe, supportive environment for us to practice, stumble, and rise again.
We ended our journey with an unforgettable retreat in Panama, celebrating 16 weeks of dedication and hard work. I’m endlessly grateful for this experience, these people, and the memories I’ll cherish always.

Kelsey Harrison and Get Wild Yoga have simply changed my life. 10/10 program. The content was thorough and all encompassing. The instructor was so knowledgeable that she had the ability to be adaptable. If we demonstrated an interest in something that wasn't necessarily covered in the original manual, she was able to accommodate the curriculum and provide outside tools and resources for further education. I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed the final exam because I was shocked by how much I had learned in just sixteen weeks. Lastly, this program far exceeded a comprehensive education. The instructor (Kelsey) facilitated and inspired the most beautiful and encouraging sense of community that I have ever been lucky enough to experience. Between the vulnerability, the laughter, the tears, the unconditional support, and unwavering demonstration of love, I genuinely think of Kelsey and my Get Wild Yoga YTT 200 peers as a part of my family. I admire each and every one of them for different reasons, and I have learned so much from all of them. Kelsey has truly become my role model. She is a gift and a treasure, and I can NOT recommend the Get Wild Program enough. I am overwhelmed with love and gratitude. I am so grateful for this opportunity and for the knowledge and kindness Kelsey has shared with us. Kelsey has a gift and she makes this Earth a better play by choosing to share this gift with others. I feel that I have been set up for success as I embark on the next steps of my yogic journey. I cannot wait to continue learning and sharing these experiences, and I am so excited to share these gifts with my future students.

The Get Wild Morocco retreat was truly one of the best weeks ever! I have nothing but amazing things to say. From the accommodations, the fellow yogis, the instructors, the activities, the food, the culture- and of course the amazing yoga classes. I absolutely fell in LOVE with Morocco and all the people there. I am already planning a trip back. On this retreat we had a nice mix of vinyasa and yin style classes which I felt created a space for practitioners of all levels. We also had many different activities planned; camel rides, tea tastings, hiking, jeep tour, day in Marrakesh, pottery class etc that Kelsey planned out so intentionally. Riding on the top of a jeep through the Atlas Mountains is definitely a life highlight! Everybody on this retreat had such an amazing, positive and vulnerable energy. I truly loved being able to meet and connect with every single person. The grounds where we stayed felt like out of a movie; it was so serene and beautiful. I also appreciated all of the kindness and love the staff at Bab Zuina showed us. The meals were SO tasty and the staff were so kind. This retreat was so powerful that it inspired me to take Yoga Teacher Training with Kelsey, which I am ending in just 2 weeks! If there is ever another opportunity to go back to Morocco with Get Wild, I'll see you there!!

I have been on 3 amazing yoga retreats with Kelsey and will be on my fourth in January.
Her attention to detail, her thoughtful planning and calming presence make for the most wonderful experience!!
You can be at any level of yoga( I am a beginner) and never feel out of place or overwhelmed. I have traveled with my daughter, a friend and solo- all offered an opportunity for self exploration and growth. You leave with a sense of renewal and gain so many new friends… I highly recommend trying a getwild retreat❤️
— Darlene Amoroso
Get Wild Retreats is a life-changing experience. Over and over again, I am impressed and astounded by my experiences on these trips. I constantly walk away knowing more about myself, new cultures, having created new friendships and connections, and a deeper more meaningful relationship with life, nature and my spirituality. I am so grateful to Kelsey for creating these experiences and this community!
— Amelia Noel, Peru 2024
I had an amazing experience on my first retreat (Peru 2024) with Get Wild Retreats. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I’ll definitely be attending another one! Kelsey is a gem and she truly cultivated an environment of openness, vulnerability and sharing, so by the end of the trip, everyone felt like family. The facility we stayed at was breathtaking, the excursions were carefully planned and incredible. I also really loved the yoga classes! 10/10, I wouldn’t have changed a thing!
— Judy Narry, Peru 2024
Kelsey's retreats are the absolute best! She curates a perfect experience in every way and no detail goes unnoticed. She plans the schedule perfectly with adventures, yoga, community, and rest days strategically placed so that you always feel great and ready for what's next. She has a way of bringing people together and allowing them the space & freedom to open up, to feel whatever, be whomever. You get close to every person on the retreat....you arrive as strangers and leave as friends. She leads with confidence and kindness, and cares about each person on the retreat. This is just the start....you really have to go on her retreats to fully understand how wonderful they are - and how much you need it (yearly)!

I was blessed with the opportunity to be part of the inaugural group of the GetWild 200 HR Yoga Teacher Training. It was the experience of a lifetime and one that has forever changed me! My goal was to learn how to teach to varied audiences and I walked away not only comfortable in my role as a teacher, but I learned about the philosophy of yoga, anatomy & physiology, mythology, communication, musical playlists, hands on assist, intelligent sequencing, and themeing. Yet this was just the beginning! Kelsey has this amazing ability to teach in a way that engages the learner and to knit communities of people together all along the way. This started during our first introductory session and then built during every call from there … with the culmination of the training at a beautiful, remote retreat center in Northern Nicaragua. WOW … Nicaragua … REALLY? Yes, and it was beyond a fabulous experience. From meeting in the airport, to the drive, to the intimate setting, it was all perfect. We came together with a common goal, to support each other, as we uniquely stepped into our own space to offer ourselves. It didn’t matter where we started, it only mattered that we had come together in growth, in support, in learning, in partnership with open hearts.
— Pam Hubbard, Teacher Training & Nicaragua Retreat 2023
I had the most incredible time on our Glacier retreat! The balance between planned adventures and yoga was perfect for me and the bonds formed with new friends will be forever treasured. Thanks to Kelsey and her team for making this trip all that I had hoped for! Looking forward to the next one!
— Emily Wells, Glacier 2023
This retreat was simply magical. It was my first Get Wild retreat and certainly won’t be my last. The way you’re able to connect with humans you just meet and feel like you’ve known them your entire life is remarkable. The experiences, the memories, the movement, the reflection. I feel so alive and inspired leaving the Greece 2023 retreat and I am SO thankful. Kelsey is a huge inspiration and she is so thorough in her retreat planning. Everything is intentional. Also, all the sessions and activities are “Challenge by Choice” so you show up to what you want to go to! So if you’re not huge into yoga, that’s why they are also called adventure retreats. Pick and choose what feels good to your soul and your body! You won’t be disappointed. With a last minute leader swap, Jess and Liz led our retreat and were the perfect yin and Yang to each other! I love and look up to them both and I feel as though they perfectly embodied what Kelsey works to create for her yoga and adventure retreats. They were also so kind and accommodating to me as I was 27 weeks pregnant on this retreat. I look forward to keeping up with all the rad humans I met on this retreat and hope to see them all on future adventures with Get Wild Retreats <3

Baja Mexico 2023 Retreat, a 10/10 experience.
Truly, I can not say enough good things about about my experience with Get Wild Retreats. It clearly showed how much thought, attention to detail, and planning Kelsey put into organizing this retreat.
From the absolutely stunning venue, to the amazing and thought provoking daily practices led by Kelsey and her co-lead Liz. Which included barre/HITT classes, and yoga/meditation, meant to challenge yourself physically and mentally. To the multiple cultural excursions, and the absolutely phenomenal meals prepared by our private chef. Also to mention very reasonably priced when you factor in (basically) being all inclusive outside of the flights.
It was everything I could’ve wanted out of this retreats and more. If you’re looking to find connections with yourself and others, while also traveling the world. Stop, and look no further bc you have found it.
As someone who went as a solo traveler, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Made friends, while also having plenty of opportunities to do my own thing or have alone time if wanted. A perfect balance for anyone looking to further their wellness journey. I am very much looking forward to my next adventure in 2024!
— Sarah McInerney, Baja Mexico 2023
If you are looking for an honest getaway, find Kelsey’s next retreat! She is an authentic, purely sincere soul and knows how to inspire, motivate and transform anyone needing just that. She is wise beyond her years! She loves crazy adventure and is ok if it’s not for you (that was me!). Give yourself the experience of a retreat with Kelsey! Best bday gift to myself ever!!
— Charlene Bland, Baja Mexico 2023
Going on this retreat led by Kelsey was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Not only is the yoga and fitness amazing, but the immense amount of connection, support & joy from meeting the other individuals on the trip is unparalleled. I booked the trip to Mexico on a whim and am so grateful that I did. The stay, food and adventures that Kelsey planned were all so thought out and AMAZING! My mom and I went together which was an extremely powerful and amazing experience! Thank you Kelsey for all the time you put into making retreats so impactful! I will 100% be back for more.
— Mia Amoroso, Baja Mexico 2023
While I have never been on a retreat before, the Baja Mexico trip was everything I could have expected or wanted in one. Kelsey’s energy was calm and empowering during yoga but excited and fun when going on excursions. I am so certain that Get Wild Retreats is one of the best, I haven’t even left the airport yet to go home. I wanted to make sure that I didn’t forget to write a review!
— Katie Sharby, Baja Mexico 2023
“Kelsey’s ability to have experiences that skillfully blend yoga and compliment the place the retreat takes place is truly remarkable. The yoga, workshops, and excursions are amazing. The unique aspect of her retreat is the environment that is cultivated in amongst everyone who attends outside of the planned events. I will be attending at least one per year indefinitely.”
— Patrick Koutnik, Peru 2022
"Kelsey's passion for her work is evident in the retreat that she put together. From the site selection, to the yoga classes she put together, it is clear that she is on a mission to create an environment in which like-minded souls can come together and connect in a meaningful way."
— Bill Strong, Tulum 2021, PC: Allie Shaak
Kelsey is an amazing yoga instructor! Not only will you get a full hour long workout for your body, your joints, and your ligaments, you will be supported, challenged and encouraged. In her Lower Body Power Flow, she starts with life lessons that get your mind thinking. As you begin the flow, these lessons begin to permeate your body. Where do you need to just step forward? Where do you need to just breathe? Where do you need to push your body? Where do you need to just let go and move to the calming and encouraging sound of her voice?
I LOVE her classes. They leave me feeling inspired, and I walk away with deeper contemplation that I could have imagined. Even when the flow is fast and I want to slow down or stop, Kelsey's encouragement keeps me going and shows up at just the right moment. At the end of savasana, my body feels great and is building more strength every day.
Thank you Kelsey for offering these classes!!
—Pam Hubbard
Since meeting Kelsey my life has changed in so many ways. I started practicing yoga a few months ago to help with stress and health issues. From the first class I felt at ease, thanks to Kelsey’s always positive, motivating attitude and sweet soul! Yoga is now a daily part of my life. I consider Kelsey a dear friend and I am now part of a community of strong, loving women! Life just keeps getting better and Kelsey’s guidance and motivation is a huge part of that.
— Laurie Jackson
Just got done with the flow and LOVED it! Didn't realize how much I missed your voice and flows! Felt like I was back in the studio! My spine and hips needed those twists more than I realized. Any and all flows that include low lunge twists and exalted warrior make me happy!!
—Marin Miller
Gotta give a shout out!! Kelsey gave me more than I knew I needed last night. I was driving by and something made me turn in, and there was somehow a spot open.
For my first class back I was nervous, it was a challenging and grounding class. I felt connected to the energy of the room, but also heard my own body in a way I haven’t in months. I was feeling immense guilt. My heart was sitting in Vermont but I physically stuck in Charleston, or I guess I was just feeling stuck in general. I was holding onto the sadness of the passing of a friend who I didn’t get to say goodbye to. Listening to Kelsey’s words at the end of class, her tone (like always) just hit. It vibrated within me. I cried alone on my mat. The gentle falling from my cheek to the mat someone felt more healing than all the sobbing I had done all week. I don’t know what pulled me to the studio last night. But I cannot begin to truly thank you. I needed that class.
— anonymous
I am so grateful for Kelsey's online recorded classes! I just finished one this morning and it was such a great way to start up my day. It always helps me loosen up and stretch out doing one of her flows in the morning time. Also love the sequencing and the power behind the flow!!
—Amelia Noel
We have a small yoga group in my neighborhood and hired Kelsey as our teacher! WOW! After trying out four teachers we fell in love with her. She takes the time to teach the poses, shows us how to do them the right way, pushes us to grow in our practice and is always kind, happy and loving. We look forward to seeing her each week!
—Melyssa Jaskiewicz, VP Sales, Sideline Sports
I have never been involved in a Yoga class or had any kind of Yoga experience when I stepped into Kelsey’s yoga class for the first time this past Fall season. I had heard from others about the wonderful benefits of Yoga but had not experienced it for myself. I had become very weak in my upper body arms and shoulder areas. I also had quite a bit of pain in those areas too. I have noticed a tremendous strength difference since I have been doing Yoga with Kelsey in the upper body areas. I also do not endure pain in those areas like I had prior to Yoga.
Kelsey is a wonderful teacher!! I would recommend her to all who are new to Yoga or experienced Yoga students. She does not make you feel awkward or ignorant if you do not know how to do a move or if you get confused during Yoga class. Kelsey is encouraging and is able to teach to all Yoga levels and she will have a beginner like me trying head stands by the end of a 12 week session. She plays the music in class just right —— it is not too loud or annoying and she has essential oils misting in the background which we all love and enjoy. She ends our class with a small massage to the neck area with coconut oil and truly seems to genuinely care about each person in the class. She also mixes the class routines so that it is not the same and it is never boring it is always full of new and old yoga moves to keep it exciting.
I would recommend Yoga and Kelsey’s teaching to anyone who wants to enjoy Yoga to the FULLEST!!
—Misti Green
I have wanted to go on a yoga retreat for several years so being part of this one was very special to me as I knew one of the instructors, Christine. The manner in which Christine and Kelsey developed the activities was awe inspiring. I’d definitely take another trip similar to this one!
— Ann Skerkavich
This was my second yoga retreat and first with Christine and Kelsey. They did a great job organizing and promoting the event and keeping the format varied enough for all yoga types. The site they chose in the mountains was amazing and the hikes they planned were exciting and out of the ordinary. There was an added surprise 5 minute mediation with our feet in the mountain stream followed by a silent walk that made that day extra special. I look forward to their next retreat!
— Elizabeth Fisher
I had so much fun! Thank you Kelsey and Christine had an amazing weekend in store for us. I miss doing yoga twice a day and the food was phenomenal! I wish I could have stayed a few extra days.
— Lauren Swann
What a beautiful, amazing, thoughtful, fueling retreat! Thank you for leading us and bringing us into community. I loved the hikes and appreciating our unique location, the yoga, the food, the space for connection, all so great! Thank you.
