Testimonials

info

Blisstopia Retreats is a beautiful sanctuary of wellness, care, self-exploration, support, and growth. I have attended numerous trainings, retreats, and healing sessions at Blisstopia and always feel so taken care of no matter the occasion. I cannot speak more highly of Lana's 200-hour yoga teacher training, the depth of the program, support, and guidance. Lana's knowledge and growth as both a teacher and individual have been profound. Everything is so intentional here, from the nourishing foods to the wellness information and more. I highly recommend their retreats, sessions, trainings, or any gathering that arises to experience true bliss.

I recently attended the Yoga Teacher training at Blisstopia Retreats and many times I wanted to pinch myself... It was truly a dream come true being there. I was able to spend ten days at the most beautiful spot while being spoiled with three AMAZINGLY nourishing meals daily, so much learning and guidance from Lana, I came home feeling like I am capable of running a class, teaching at a retreat and I have deepened my practice greatly, which was ultimately the goal. Mark and Lana were wonderful hosts and continue to support from afar. I will be back for more, thank you!
