Such a fantastic experience! Rachel and Sam are amazing humans in general, motivating and inspiring yoga teachers, and organized and exciting event hosts. The property in Ukiah was serene and beautiful (I slept in a yurt and loved it) and Sam & Rachel thought through so many special details to make it one of the best trips I've been on / things I've done for myself. There was body work available, breath work, delicious/local/healthy food, spirit animal cards, and so much more! They nailed the mix of planned activities and free time. It was both relaxing and invigorating and such a blessing to be in community with so many fantastic women of all ages. Can't wait to go back!

I had the most amazing time!!! Rachel and Sam are the best and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed the entire weekend. The daily yoga flows were incredible and the property was insanely gorgeous, so much to do (hike around the property, hang by the pool, read a book on the lawn and relax, etc). The food was insanely delicious and so nourishing. It was so wonderful to meet like-minded women, i had the best time! Will definitely be going again next year :)

Sam and Rachel did an EXCEPTIONAL job curating an incredible experience, start to finish. The yoga/breathwork practices were immaculate--they are both highly skilled, and bring a loving and gentle presence to all of their guidance. The food was superb and the setting was absolutely gorgeous--I can't wait to go on the next retreat!

This is my 2nd retreat with Sam and Rachel and definitely not my last! They are the most genuine and kind people who go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, which creates such a positive environment on retreats. In addition to being an amazing yoga instructors, Sam's breathwork is exceptional. She has a real gift and I'm grateful that she's sharing it with the world. Rachel is really good at breaking down arm balances and for the 1st time in my life I was able to do side crow. I can't say enough good things about these 2 - everything from the yoga to the food to the accommodations was on point. I can't wait for my next retreat!
