It was my third time taking this retreat with Khristine, and I look forward to it every year. She’s a passionate teacher and experienced retreat organizer with an infectious spirit and a boundless love for what she does. She always strikes the perfect balance with planning scheduled events (morning meditations, asana practices, kirtan and yoga nidra) around the scheduled mealtimes (delicious!!!) while leaving ample free time to enjoy the unique spiritual amenities LAMB has to offer. Fair warning: you will probably still want more free time! Book an extra night in advance if your lifestyle allows. You could easily spend a whole day visiting the holy sites and hiking the trails through these breathtaking redwoods and not even have time to meditate in the gompa or visit the bookstore before it’s time for bed. Then there’s the sauna and pool! Thanks for another amazing Yoga Summer Camp! Hari Om.

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 :)
