My husband and I had a. wonderful time on Raquel's yoga retreat. The property was a perfect setting to connect with nature and/or people yet spacious enough for private meditation on a trail or in a hammock. The meals fed our souls and our bellies, the smells wafting from the kitchen occasionally teasing us during our yoga practice. We were invited to turn off our phones for the weekend which was a jolt initially but soon became a gift to our over stimulated nervous system. The practice itself was called "yoga" but it was really much needed self care with massage, movement and self reflection. I'm so thankful to have been there.

Raquel and her team know how to do a yoga retreat. From the venue to the excellent therapeutic yoga sessions, the weekend was wonderful. And did I mention the fabulous food? We feel much more mindful in our day to day lives after "unplugging" with Raquel for a few days. Namaste!

This was my first yoga retreat and an overall great experience! I loved all the yoga sessions, exercises and introspection. All the people were great! The food was delicious! (I feel the food ran out pretty quickly and it would’ve been nicer if the quantity was more generous; there were times when I went back for seconds and there was nothing left). Really glad I went and, Raquel, you were amazing! Thank you to you and Liz for all your hard work!

I had the most incredible experience on this yoga retreat. Raquel designed the ideal schedule for us that allowed us to have some structure to our days, yet held plenty of time to rest, adventure, and everything in between. I was able to take a nap, go for a hike to the wishing tree, spend the afternoon soaking in the flumes, journal in the sun, and star gaze before bed. The yoga practices were perfect; in the mornings we had a wonderful + vibrant active practice and in the evenings we had a soothing + peaceful practice to wind down. On the last night, Raquel turned out the lights on the yoga deck and we were able to see the most beautiful night sky, complete with the milky way. The meals that Catie + Cindy created were SO nourishing and grounding. My body felt energized and cared for from the inside out. The tone that Raquel, Catie, and Cindy set was one of warmth, intention, and acceptance. As an introvert, I've never felt more safe with a group of strangers that quickly became friends. I think this was also due the nature of our hosts and the kind and compassionate people they attract. I loved that Raquel encouraged us to share why we were on the trip on the first night, and closed the experience by encouraging us to reflect how we might take this intention home with us. This exercise invited us to extend the magic of the retreat and bring some change to our lives, yet was facilitated in a way that didn't feel high pressure + didn't require one to share. This was one of the best weekends of my life + I hope we do something like it again next year!

This retreat was amazing! Raquel, Catie, and Cindy created this amazingly complete experience with relaxing and nurturing yoga, nourishing and delicious food, and meaningful connection. They also left plenty of time in the schedule to enjoy the hot springs and natural environment. I went with my sister and it was the perfect get away and we can't wait for the next one!! :)
