Testimonials

info

I had a fulfilling weekend. The scenery is beautiful and the space is gorgeous. Just surrounded by mountains and greenery is calming and relaxing. The whole setup with different decor and rooms with candles, pictures, instruments is soothing. Carla, you are amazing. You are meticulous teacher and creative yoga instructor. The way you construct your classes are fun and easy to follow. I don’t know where the time goes when I am doing yoga with you. I like that you are strong and vulnerable at the same time. It was nice to see different sides of you, my friend, and my new friends. So retreat served its purpose for being a haven and safe spot. The whole weekend was well organized and complete for me. I enjoyed all aspects. I liked the location, the food, meditation, and the activities. I also enjoyed our afternoon field trip and mini adventure through the rough terrain. I felt the vortex energy 😀! I would highly recommend this retreat.

I came carrying emotional weight, and I left enlightened. Things that were awesome: - Starting with the cacao ceremony, I was forced me to shake off expectations and go with the flow. It was a lovely introduction to the weekend. Drinking from the headwaters connected me with the earth. In taste, in sound, and temperature (that water was refeshingly cold!) Outdoor morning yoga watching Mt Shasta as the sun came up was simply incredible. A perfect experience. - Carla ringing the bell to summon us was so much fun! It was like I had a mother-hen looking out for me the whole time. - I felt welcomed and comfortable and cared for the entire time. And oh my gosh all the people who attended were so awesome!
