Testimonials for AcuYogini®️ Retreats

  • "This retreat was absolutely magical. AcuYogini created an amazing healing, calming, thought-provoking self-care experience. Every single detail was well thought through. I felt cared for from the time I registered. Information about the retreat began first with a call to ask about what I was looking for, special needs, requests, etc. The venue is a special place indeed. Felt like I was staying at a farm to table, acrogarden with incredible blooms, birds, trees and animals. I loved it all. The two chefs did outstanding work, accommodating all diets. From their lovely fresh juices in the morning to their tasty desserts at night, all of it was delicious, healthy and satisfying. Loved the silent breakfasts! And finally, the yoga! I was able to experience different types of yoga for the first time. I also did the sound bowl healing, which left my body calmly humming, my brain quietly introspective and overall, peaceful. The oak tree sessions perfectly set the tone for each day. Lots of journaling, sharing, getting to know each other in ways that never would have happened in a more confined space. KC and AcuYogini curated this tremendous time and space with a very mindful approach. I could truly relax and be my authentic self. Let down my barriers and enjoy all of the opportunities available in this unique, amazing environment."

Between the yin, journaling, the sound bath, yoga nidra, drumming, and simply being in a beautiful setting with like minded individuals, I felt more relaxed than I have in a long, long time. Everything about this trip was magical. So much thought and care went into every detail. Every activity flowed beautifully into the next and I will be coming back every year going forward! Absolutely wonderful! Thank you, KC and friends for creating such a restful experience!"

  • "Attending the "Self Care for the Soul" retreat was a deeply transformative experience that left me feeling truly rested and restored. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that every aspect of this retreat was perfectly planned with the utmost attention to detail. KC has curated a program that touches the soul, balancing the needs of the body and mind through a thoughtful blend of activities and therapies. The Yin yoga sessions were perfect in every way, allowing me to deeply stretch and release tension in a gentle yet powerful way. Acupressure coupled with Yin Yoga added an additional layer of relaxation, tapping into the body's natural healing abilities. The silent breakfasts were a unique and grounding experience, encouraging mindfulness and a deeper connection with nature. Melissa’s Yoga Nidra sessions were a highlight, guiding us into a state of deep relaxation and helping to reset our nervous systems. Kerry’s private sound healing session was another standout, using the vibrational power of sound to bring about profound inner calm. The group sound bath was equally enchanting, creating a shared space of peace and tranquility. The retreat’s setting in nature, combined with a guided permaculture tour, offered insights into sustainable living and provided a connection to the earth that was both educational and inspiring. The organic foods from the garden, prepared by the talented Sierra Camp Chefs, were a culinary delight. Each meal was nourishing, vibrant, and made with love—truly a feast for both the body and soul. Every element, from the yoga to the food, is designed to nourish you on every level, leaving you feeling revitalized and renewed.

The food menu was to die for as they catered to everyone’s needs: vegan, meat eaters, gluten free, nothing was missed by the caterers. My heart was so full of joy."

KC's yoga is so gentle! I always love her yoga classes. I loved learning more acupressure points. I would have never taken a drumming class had it not been for this retreat.

  • I have been enjoying KC's yoga classes for at least two years now. Since going on line I have usually joined her meditative, gentle, and flow classes at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday when they are being recorded. This gets me up and going for stretching, breathing, meditating, and balancing both body and mind - a great way to start my day. I really appreciate KC's dedication to her practice and the relaxed and cheerful way she guides her students through our movements and poses. Namaste!
