Lance and Amber are kind, compassionate, flexible, and very knowledgeable yoga teachers and hosts. From the first minute I met them, I felt safe,pampered, and nurtured. They made sure my stay was tranquil, comfortable, and adaptable for my needs. I felt part of their family- respected and cherished. I particularly enjoyed their style of teaching as they worked to meet me where I was at and instead of being pushed or tested-they provided an intuitive healing experience that gave me what my mind and my body needed. I felt restored and was able to navigate my life much better after this experience as they provided healing and tools for my hectic life! Lance's cooking is unparalleled- oh my goodness, he is an artist!!

On an additional note, there was a scary experience with a brush fire while I was traveling and they provided significant support and solace after the event!

Where do I start? GREAT retreat, Amber and Lance are attentive and gracious hosts. And of course, they do great job teaching proper yoga — customized and focused on breathing.

Here are some of my impressions:

1. Spacious, incredibly clean house with soft music and background aromatherapy. It is also decorated very tastefully.

2. Yoga with Amber was divine — as mentioned above, she started with questions that helped her to customize my experience (fast forward — I added the asanas she taught me to my daily practice post-retreat)

3. Hiking and yoga with Lance was superb, too. At every point if time I felt safe and could rely on Lance’s guidance. Yoga on the top of the rock is quite something, but I can’t possibly find words to describe it well.

4. Home-cooked meals by Lance were great - balanced, nutritious, varied and delicious.

5. Last but not least, there is also a charming creek within 5 min leisurely walk. Also, there are 2 lawns with trees around Lance and Amber’s house - perfect for a chill break.

In short, HIGHLY recommended.
