Past Retreat Testimonials

This trip was the perfect combination of learning, doing and just being. The details were expertly planned and executed so that I did not have to worry about anything other than getting on the bus in the morning. I felt safe at all times, which was important to me as a solo traveler.
Sandy BSicily 2025
Even for someone like me who hardly ever practices yoga, this well-being trip filled up my cup to the brim. It was relaxing, educational, enlightening, and absolutely one of the best journeys I've been on. It was a wonderful investment in the well being of me!
Andy KSardinia & Corsica 2025
Sailing the Mediterranean from Sardinia to Corsica was nothing short of magical–a perfect blend of freedom, discovery, and awe. Each day felt like entering a new world. We anchored off hidden coves accessible only by boat and discovered white sandy beaches, granite cliffs, and beautifully clear turquoise coves where we could swim, snorkel and paddle board straight from the deck. Mornings began with yoga on pearl sand beaches. The chef’s prepared fabulous Blue Zone healthy, nutritious and delicious meals. The journey wasn’t just about moving from one island to another; it was about surrendering to the sea’s slow tempo and rediscovering the joy of small, elemental moments that can only happen under sail.
Lisa HSardinia & Corsica 2025
Well planned and executed tour. Wonderful and varied experiences Good guide, communication and excellent tour.
Andrea GCroatia Retreat Participant
I have now been on 4 overseas adventure yoga retreats with Lorraine and each one has been an incredible trip. Lorraine is a magnet for fellow travelers who are so enjoyable to spend time with, the locations are must-see places, the itineraries are so well thought out and the local guides have always been incredibly fun and knowledgeable professionals who also become friends. 11 stars out of 10!
Betsy CCroatia 2024 Retreat & Multiple retreat participant
Spending the weekend at Serene Lakes was exactly that ... SERENE! What a relaxing and energizing few days in a gorgeous setting with some lovely like-minded women. I wouldn’t change a thing’ Thank you Lorraine
Nancy MSerene Lakes 2024 - Multiple retreat participant & class attendee
The Panama Yoga retreat was my first one with Lorraine. I found the entire experience both relaxing and fun/exciting. I appreciated the careful planning and selection of places to go and activities. The yoga was perfect for keeping my body and mind in sync. Highly recommended!!
Kathryn RPanama 2024 Retreat Participant
It was such a privilege to have Lorraine's inspired yoga instruction each morning and evening on a fantastic open air studio. I personally loved feeling the ocean breeze and seeing the beautiful landscaping (and some of the resort’s pets) while practicing. It was a truly magical get-away!
Susan EPanama 2024 Retreat, and multiple Retreat Participant and class attendee
Lorraine was a patient teacher and helped with my limitations in Yoga. The tropical flora and fauna were a delight after a rainy winter in N. CA. Monkey calls, sloth sightings, bird calls and resort plantings made for a special treat. Lorraine happily arranged for a partial transit of the Panama Canal on our departure day — a novel experience. And she gracefully took care of a few things that came up during the week. She was a great leader!
Joan FPanama 2024 Retreat Participant
I had the most fabulous experience traveling Vietnam and Cambodia with Lorraine. It was a thoughtfully curated trip; providing the right balance of culture, activity, delicious food and of course, yoga.
Suzanne F2023 Vietnam and Cambodia Retreat Participant
The tour to Asia was well curated. We got close to the rural people learning about their livelihood and savored meals served to us and grew more absorbed in a culture rich in hospitality and tradition.
Cathy BVietnamese & Cambodia & Multiple retreat participant & class attendee
Lorraine gathered a wonderful sisterhood community; it was a special and memorable time shared. Serene Lakes is a beautiful location for outdoor activities, relaxation and mindfulness. I was nourished, energized, fulfilled- mind, body and soul. Lorraine is genuinely thoughtful and caring. I hope this becomes an annual event! Thank you!
Elvie T2023 Serene Lakes Retreat & Class Attendee
Yoga, Serene Lakes, hikes, kayaks, plethora of nutritious meals and the essence of healing sisterhood! Can’t wait for the next one…
Lisa KSerene Lakes Retreat 2023 & Class Attendee
Very nurturing retreat joined by like minded friends on the yogi path doing yogi activities. Deeply satisfying to be quiet and present for oneself and others.
Cathy BSerene Lakes Retreat 2023 & Multiple Retreat & Class Attendee
Loved being present to witness nature, others and my internal self
Sally SSerene Lakes Retreat 2023 & Class Attendee
Lorraine is an excellent yoga instructor. The Baja Nature Immersion Yoga retreat was well planned and busy with many amazing activities - whale watching, snorkeling and kayaking - however there was always time for yoga. The local guides were knowledgeable, informative and fun.
Pat EBaja Retreat, Multiple Retreat Participant and class attendee
Lorraine is such a caring yoga instructor. She takes the time to observe where each student is at, what issues a student might be struggling with and finds appropriate alternatives. She creates a safe space. Our group had a great dynamic, most folks were willing to try new things. I believe this was due to Lorraine’s care, and also our great guide, Citlali, from Blue Turtle Sustainable.
Sandy MBaja Yoga Retreat 2023
Lorraine is a thoughtful leader. She helps keep things running smoothly, while keeping calm.
Mary HBaja Yoga Retreat 2023 and class attendee
Lorraine’s adventure retreats intersect mindfulness together with the best combination of activities! She knows how to balance the mind/body with learning and exploration. The yogi travelers were a wonderful group of men and women who enjoy traveling and learning together.
Trudie BIceland 2022 and Multiple retreat participant
Lorraine assembled a great set of individuals who instantly became friends on a wonderful, week-long, action-packed journey through Iceland! It was fabulous that all we had to do was book our flights and everything else was taken care of for us. I would highly recommend a retreat with Lorraine!
Nancy BIceland Retreat Participant
Our trip with you to Iceland was a total delight! Lorraine is such a caring, loving and inspirational person to be with and travel with. She watched over us and made sure everyone was accounted for and taken care of throughout the week. Having yoga most mornings and evenings really added to the trip - very grounding and energizing in the morning, and relaxing in the evening. It was alot of fun that each day was its own adventure and the group was such a pleasure to be with. Thank you for such a memorable trip!
Linda KIceland Retreat 2022, Multiple Retreat Participant & class attendee
Lorraine has a wide variety of people who participate in her retreats. When people come as strangers, they leave as friends and have a lasting connection. She is organized, but knows how to change plans quickly if something doesn’t go the way it should. I love her retreats and look forward to going on many more.
Vicki SYosemite 2022, regular class and Hiking Yoga participant
Lorraine is a masterful host, planner and experience designer. She is able to build approachable experiences for all levels, accommodate individual needs, and create a sense of community and connection among a varied group of people. She works with excellent partners to round out retreats with activities, meals and venues that help you ground, restore, grow and have fun. I will never forget my retreat experience with Lorraine. What a gift!
Pooja GTwain Harte Retreat Participant October 2021
Wow – what fun!! We hiked, stargazed, made watercolors, ate wonderful food and started and ended the day with Yoga! A truly memorable long weekend.
Susan ETwain Harte Retreat - October 2021 - A Multiple Retreat Participant and regular class attendee
Quiet hidden away venue in the Foothills of the Sierras with accommodations to meet the needs of all types of participants; the food was amazing; it was healthy and presented with great appeal. Lorraine is so patient and kind and tends to every imaginable detail.
Sharron MTwain Harte Retreat Participant October 2021 - A multiple retreat participant & regular attendee of Hiking Yoga
What a glorious, well-planned and special adventure! The accommodations and our hosts were spectacular, to say the least. The excursions were incredible, and our guide, Louis, was a wealth of knowledge. I had few expectations of this trip, other than knowing I was so fortunate to go. Any I had were far exceeded by this wonderful adventure with interesting and delightful yogi-minded friends.
Stacy B. Galápagos Retreat - June 2021
The Galapagos yoga retreat was an unforgettable adventure! I found myself immersed in a dream, the blue seas, gorgeous beaches, the magnificent wild life are the norm and I felt very privileged to participate to such a wonderful trip. Thanks Lorraine for your tip top organization!
Florence BGalápagos Retreat - June 2021 - A multiple retreat participant
I absolutely loved the setting for our lodging and yoga classes, the solitude in the mornings and chance to roam the grounds during our down time. The daily variety of activities and natural beauty could not have been better, as were our hosts and knowledgeable naturalist. Thanks, Lorraine, for all the work that went into planning and executing this trip with such care!
Amy OGalápagos Retreat - June 2021
The Galapagos Yoga Adventure Retreat was a wonderful experience! Lorraine arranged a very balanced retreat as we definitely experienced adventure and healthy exercise in hikes, kayaking and snorkeling. We listened to a naturalist guide with solid expertise about the local flora, fauna and history of the Islands. Evenings were filled with community and great food. And, of course we had the opportunity to begin and close the day with yoga! A perfect retreat!!
Susan EGalápagos Retreat - June 2021 - A multiple retreat participant and regular class attendee
The charm of Kochi’s fishing village, the beauty of the Ganges, especially where meeting the Himalayas, the yoga, meditations, beautiful rituals and spiritual experiences led by Lorraine, Micki and others were especially memorable. Loved the feeling of being on sacred ground in Rishikesh, enabling me to feel connected to such an important part of the world, and feeling the spiritual connection even though I have been unfamiliar with Hinduism. I enjoyed our leader’s enthusiasm and can do spirit!
Linda KIndia Retreat - September 2019 - A multiple retreat participant and regular class attendee
One of the best weekends I have ever experienced! The women were friendly, supportive and fun to be with. With delicious organic meals and the pleasures of yoga, hiking, kayaking, SUP, observing nature, and sharing with others, I came home inspired and energized. Lorraine and Micki are responsive and caring leaders who put you at ease and and know how to create an exceptional experience.
Geri FSerene Lakes Yoga Retreat 2023 & Class Attendee
Lorraine's yoga, hike and travel offerings have brought much joy and connection as well as enhanced fitness. Her offerings have exceeded my expectations. She is committed, caring and immensely qualified. The travel has been amazing. I am grateful for memories, deepened friendships and the nudge to strive for a higher fitness level. I highly recommend her offerings!
Cathy BMultiple Retreat Participant and Class Attendee
The trip to Galápagos far surpassed all my expectations. It was an absolutely fabulous trip from beginning to end! This is by far one of my favorite travel experiences and it will be hard to top!
Guille CGalápagos Retreat - April 2019 - A multiple retreat participant
I loved every minute! I loved seeing my husband so incredibly happy. I loved the routine of coming back and having relaxing Yin Yoga at the end of the day before dinner. I loved the ecotourism/sustainable travel aspect of everything we did. I liked the balance of time on the boat and time on the land. At first I worried we might be missing something by having a land- based tour rather than cruising but I could not possibly have been more mistaken. I loved the way Lorraine kept such beautiful calm and clarity with her gifted leadership.
Holly MGalápagos Retreat - April 2019
I had a wonderful time at the Pt. Reyes retreat! The hikes were spectacular, the food wonderful and Yoga on the beach sand was unforgettable. Best of all was the sense of community!
Retreat ParticipantPoint Reyes Retreat - June 2019
Everything was great; it was such a wonderful experience! I think the ambiance that was created is what I enjoyed the most. The tranquility, silence, meditation was very pleasant. I went on the retreat ready to start a new chapter in my life and was open to all the things and found so much knowledge within each woman that I had the pleasure to share thoughts. After all the yoga and meditation and connection, I am ready to start my new chapter with clarity and peace.
Ana DPoint Reyes Retreat - June 2019
Your retreat was very enjoyable, good food, activities, & location! But most importantly, interesting people to share experiences & learn from.
Joan SSouth Lake Tahoe Retreat - June 2018 - A multiple retreat participant
I loved the community of women talking about themselves, their lives and their feelings. It was way beyond what I expected. I also loved the beauty of the location and the yoga and meditation on the deck.
Susie CSouth Lake Tahoe Retreat - June 2018
The Peru retreat was beyond all of my expectations! We explored so much of the Sacred Valley. Machu Picchu was magical. And Cusco was amazing. We were very well cared for, the food was delicious, our accommodations were comfortable. I went on the retreat by myself and met so many wonderful people. I can't wait to go on another retreat with Lorraine.
Linda B.Peru Retreat - September 2017 - A multiple retreat participant
I loved Lorraine’s retreat! She is remarkably conscientious about planning, follow through & organization on one hand & open mindedness creativity and flexibility on the other. I returned home with renewed energy.
Vivian B.2016 North Lake Tahoe Retreat & Class participant
A wonderfully relaxing & nourishing retreat. I left calm, focused & very thankful to have met such an amazing group of women!

Baja Nature Immersion Yoga Adventure Retreat 🇲🇽

March 2023

7 days, 6 nights

(or 8 day, 7 night add-on)

We Soothed Body, Mind, and Soul as we immersed ourselves in nature with the flora, fauna, and healing power of the sea. Highlights included snorkeling the coral reef with schools of colorful fish and herds of playful sea lions, getting up close with the spectacular grey whales of the Pacific, enjoying gorgeous sunrises and sunsets (while practicing yoga!), and watching a full red moon rise on the beach. Contemplative practices were weaved in as we connected with ourselves, each other, Mother Earth, Father Sky, and ultimately found peace within.

The Best of South & North India  Led by Lorraine & Micki 🇮🇳

September 2019

14 days, 13 nights
A Spiritual and Cultural pilgrimage for body, mind & soul to the motherland that did not disappoint! Beautiful Kochi, a port city on the Southwest Coast, is ranked #7 as one of the top 10 cities in the world to visit by Lonely Planet. Rishikesh in the North Himalayan foothills and besides the Ganges River is considered Holy with temples and ashrams and is considered the center for studying yoga and meditation. Both were beautifully unique, colorful, and a feast for the senses!
