Testimonials

  • “Vaishali did a masterful job of coaxing all of us through 108 sun salutations. I have to admit that right before the class I started worrying about my decision to join the class but Vaishali kept us going (and keeping form) with a gentile start where she emphasized form and breathing but also listening and respecting your body and where she gradually picked up speed - but never made you feel winded or rushed. After each set of 9 sun salutations Vaishali had us rest in child pose which she gave us insights and legends behind yoga and the meaning of the practice as well as encouraging us to shift our focus to a different area for our upcoming set. I was to reflect and grow in my practice and ended with a real sense of accomplishment. Will definitely do again and I highly recommend it to practitioners of all levels!”

  • "I've been practicing yoga for years, and I can honestly say that Vaishali is one of the most skilled and adaptable teachers I've ever had. She has a deep understanding of the practice and is able to modify poses and offer variations to suit all levels and body types. I always feel challenged and supported in her classes, and I leave feeling both energized and grounded. Highly recommend!"

  • This retreat was a calming, uplifting reset. Vaishali’s genuine, warm teaching created a safe space to explore mindfulness and the ‘power of the pause.’ The mix of yoga, hiking, art, rest, and nourishing meals was perfectly balanced, set in a peaceful, inspiring environment. I left feeling more grounded, grateful, and present, carrying a new sense of peace into daily life. I’d absolutely recommend this retreat to anyone looking to reset their mindset and deepen their self-awareness.

  • My first retreat exceeded expectations. Vaishali’s calm presence helped me discover inner peace, while the thoughtful balance of yoga, meditation, hiking, cooking, and art kept me energized rather than drained. Everything was beautifully organized, and I felt both relaxed and energized. I’d highly recommend this retreat and look forward to future ones.
