Soul Spark Impressions
From India’s spiritual centers to Europe’s boutique hideaways — soulful journeys grounded in beauty, culture, and meaningful connection.
I've just come back from a retreat training organised by Tina, and it was an amazing experience. Before going there, Tina checked in with all of us to make sure that everybody was well prepared and had everything they needed. The retreat took place in a stunning environment, with delicious vegan food and the most beautiful yoga shala I've ever seen - a perfect setting for the daily yoga classes with Joan Hyman, which were top-level and truly transformative. Tina was an amazing host all the time,

We were able to experience a transformative time in the midst of nature in the Austrian Alps. I want to thank Tina for her superb organisation of the 100h Teacher Training in the Austrian Alps (8 - 18 June ’25). Everything was very well prepared, so we didn't have to worry about much. Her cheerful nature combined with her professionalism made it easy for all of us. The accommodation was great, the participants from all over the world heart-warming. We came as strangers, left as friends.

I have been on multiple yoga retreats that Tina has planned, organized, or assisted with over the last couple of years. Her attention to detail is exceptional and she has a “no problem” attitude meaning she finds a solution for every obstacle. Each of the retreats has run impeccably and with no glitches (that we saw). She finds super cool locations and she is a very nice person to work with also. Huge thumbs for Tina.

Tina Schmelzer has been an incredible help with The School of Yoga's Retreats. She has exceptional organizational skills which take the retreat to the next level! Her hard work and fun personality help to raise the vibration on the retreats to ensure a connective energy amongst the group and me as the teacher. Tina is also a dedicated practitioner which adds shakti to the practice room and the container that is held on a yoga retreat. I am grateful to have Tina organize and attend my retreats and consider her a valuable asset and a great friend!
Joan Hyman
Tina Schmelzer is a creative genius, yogini and an incredible business woman. Tina's skill set is endless, from creating the most stunning yoga retreats to a marketing guru. As a thoughtful, kind individual that takes the time to listen, she betters the individuals she works with to create and think at a higher level. She is a multi-faceted woman, who truly can do it all! I've been blessed to take yoga retreats, that Tina has brought to life, she's created my personal website and have been blessed to practice next to her on the mat.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending two retreats organised by Tina. Both exceeded my expectations. Tina puts a lot of ground work research into each retreat. Her attention to detail is exceptional. Tina’s passion for yoga & travel shines through on the retreats. Tina is a lovely caring person who goes above beyond for you. If you get a chance to attend a retreat organised by Tina, go you won’t regret it, it could possibly be life changing for you.
