This was our 3rd time joining the Yoga, Meditation, and Reiki: Retreat to Yosemite! Everything just comes together to make a perfect trip. Christie is a great yoga instructor and a dear friend. The included food at the Yosemite Bug Cafe is absolutely amazing. And Yosemite itself is my favorite place on earth. This year the timing was perfect with Fall colors!

Thank you, John! Also, your recommendation for Glacier Point was a highlight for us!

I had a wonderful time at my first Christie Pitko yoga retreat in Yosemite. The yoga was wonderful as was the meditation. The lodging was comfortable and the cafe food was delicious. Christie was very welcoming and her teaching style makes all participants feel comfortable with their own yoga abilities. It was a wonderful weekend and I plan to attend next year.

This was my third yoga retreat with Christie, and she never fails to create a wonderful experience. Yosemite was beautiful! It was a great group of amazing people, delicious food, and unforgettable moments. I’m already looking forward to next year!

This is my *4th* retreat with Christie! Cannot say enough about how wonderful these retreats are! Christie is a wonderful host and fabulous yoga teacher and healer. The resort was rustic and comfortable. The food was incredible. Starting each day off with a yoga class, seeing Yosemite after that, and ending with reiki and restorative yoga… pure bliss! Thanks again Christie!
