I loved it; this was my first time attending this retreat. The setting was beautiful and there was a variety of accommodation choices from rooms in an historic toll house to cozy yurts set atop a beautiful vista point. Activities included Lots of Yoga expertly led by Raissa, and adventurous free time activities like (off-site) wine tasting and exploring old growth redwoods at Hendy, and on site hikes to a swimming pond. We enjoying delicious, creative, beautiful food prepared by Ticco our chef. The sound bath was next level. 5/5 stars! I hope to return!

I’ve done this retreat twice and I am looking forward to the next one! Raissa curates the loveliest program that is heart and soul nourishing, and also brings great people together because they are of the same energy. The Whispertree property is also quite special- foothill woodlands, chaparral, and riparian ecosystems on the land with comfortable beautiful accommodations. The food is also delicious and nutritious. I waited many years to attend this retreat due to financial constraints but now that I’ve gone, I can tell you the experience is worth it. I loved staying in the yurt and bunkhouse. My next trip I may try the tent cabin!

We had a wonderful time. Loved learning from Raissa, the location, our beach cabana, the sun studio, the other participants, the very helpful and friendly staff, the delicious food --- everything.

The New Year Yoga Retreat with Raissa was just what I needed: rest, rejuvenation, reconnection with my body and nature, and community. Raissa's heart-centered and soulful yoga practice created a warm and welcoming environment for yogis of all abilities. Yandara was a gorgeous retreat center, simple and serene, delicious food and low key vibes, right on the beach, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I'm already looking forward to our next retreat!

Raissa was an inspiration, super knowledgeable and it showed with all the people that had previously attended her retreats. She was fun, flexible and always motivational. Looking forward to the next retreat!
