Beautiful journey to India and into the heart! Khristine and Susannah created the most wonderful retreat, offering their heartfelt, deep wisdom and experience in a serene and soul-nurturing location. Perfect balance of engaging sessions and open time for reflection, rest or exploration.

It was a great retreat! The Amara Retreat Center was very comfortable, with great food, and terrific staff. I was able to deepen my yoga and meditation practices, and there was also time to explore the neighboring towns, temples, and sights. Khristine is a terrific trip coordinator and group leader.

I loved the balance of yoga practice and time to rest and relax, and/or get ayurvedic treatments. It felt perfectly paced. The food was great and the lodging was luxurous. I loved the knowledge time/workshops. Loved the temple visits!

For me, this trip was the perfect blend of activities, learning, and rest. I'm an introvert, and I appreciated that we had time during the hottest parts of the day to rest and recharge before the next thing. Amara Ayurveda Retreat was an amazing place to be, close to town and beaches, but secluded enough to feel relatively quiet amid the hustle and bustle of the town. I felt very held and protected by everyone I was in contact with, especially by Khristine and Susannah. If this exact trip happened again, I would be there in a heartbeat. If another trip happens with these two wonderful women leading, I would probably still be there in a heartbeat :)

From beginning to end, it was an incredible experience. The place was so magical. The people were so friendly and the food was delicious. I highly highly highly recommend Amara. As for the retreat itself, Susanna and Christine were incredible. I felt safe in at home.. we got to have some time together as a group we practice meditation and yoga every day we enchanted and did Kirtan we ate in community and we also were allotted a lot of free time to take it all in whether we do in our Vedic retreat or swim in the pool at site or go out into the world. We had our own drivers and tuk tuk. I highly recommend with Khristine. It was a wonderful experience. I can’t say enough so grateful I said yes it was worth every penny.
