About this trip

Gift yourself three inspirational days to restore, re-center and re-energize, to inspire ourselves and each other to enter a deeper yoga and mindfulness experience. Bring a friend, or make new ones!  Inspiration is as close as your next mindful inhale, especially when surrounded by the quiet beauty of the land. We'll gather at WhisperTree, an expansive hillside property in the gorgeous Anderson Valley, Boonville, CA. Among the scenic rolling hills of Mendocino County, the landscape reminds us of our yearning to connect with Nature, and the power of the Earth to embrace and heal. Our practices together will invite each of us to receive what we need, and to offer back our gifts, connecting us to our hearts, our voice, our loved ones, each other and the Earth.  All levels, ages, and all aspirations are welcome.  As the poet Rumi wrote, bring your big beautiful heart out into the golden fields and let it breathe! 

Cost: $545-$895, depending on accommodation chosen; $395 camping option.

SO
My sister and I had a wonderful time. The meals were delicious and healthy and the accommodations were very comfortable despite the area receiving 10" of snow and the power getting knocked out on the first day! Riassa did a wonderful job leading us through yoga twice daily that was restorative and insightful. She always does a great job "reading the room" and supplying helpful instruction where needed. The staff at the retreat center went "above and beyond" to accommodate us and keep us comfortable despite the weather. I will be coming back and I highly recommend!! Thank you Riassa and Bell Valley Retreat Center staff. Thank you to Wild Heart Ayurveda for braving the conditions and cooking throughout the retreat!

Raissa is so special! Everything about this retreat was absolutely perfect. Looking forward to the next one!
By Anya H for Inspire Your Practice 3-day Weekend Yoga Retreat $395-$785 on Nov 25, 2021
This trip was full of intense, mindful, breathful yoga, restorative yoga/meditation and amazing food in a spectacular location. Raissa is a master. She is an amazing light who encourages us to bring our strongest self to the mat, letting breath lead the way, while also reminding us to have compassion for where we are at any given moment. As a guide, she is completely uplifting, instilling confidence and gratitude to all that practice with her. This was my second trip with Raissa and there will be many more!

Feeling so fortunate to work with Raissa of Soul Power Yoga and the team she pulled together to gather in Boonville this past weekend for her Inspire Your Practice 3 Day Yoga Retreat. Bell Valley Retreat and the lands in which it sits is nothing short of pure magic and Raissa is an incredible teacher and human being. I highly recommend any space she holds. My focus was, and I was invited to, support retreat participants via my massage therapy/embodiment offerings, but I was able to attend her last practice of the retreat. I can honestly say it was one of the best, heart opening classes I’ve experienced. I felt so connected to the amazing group of people she brought together and the energy created. Soaking it all in and reflecting on what it means to step into my best self and what kind of Ancestor I get to be. Thank you for the experience Raissa ❤️
