Retreat Testimonials

"Lisa is my regular instructor, and the retreated turned into six hours of her excellent teaching. Since our regular classes only run for an hour's length, I was wondering how well I was going to hold up. Amazingly enough, with a lunch break included,  the class content never got to be too much. I have an expression I use for challenging things such as hot sauce (I suppose yoga as well). I tell people I want to be challenged without being abused. Lisa keeps things in the challenging range without me ever feeling abused. The retreat was an opportunity to meet some new people, exercise with a number of my regular classmates that also signed up, and work some muscles I did not know existed. Thanks to Lisa and the church!"

"I just got back from the most incredible yoga retreat, and I can honestly say it was exactly what I needed. The entire experience was deeply relaxing and truly rejuvenating, like hitting a reset button for both body and mind. Lisa, the instructor, was absolutely amazing. She was so attentive and genuinely tuned into everyone’s needs, creating a space that felt supportive, calming, and personalized. You could tell she really cared about making sure each person got the most out of the experience. From start to finish, everything felt intentional and nourishing. I left feeling refreshed, grounded, and re-energized. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to unwind, reconnect, and take care of themselves in a meaningful way."

"Everyone seemed like we were a family there to enjoy yoga. Lisa had us all interacting and laughing which made the experience phenomenal. Lisa is very knowledgeable in her teaching yoga. Wow is all I can say. Everything was right on. I am still learning yoga, and Lisa makes it very instructive and interesting. Everything was timed right, and the whole day went smooth and clear. I think we need more yoga retreats. I think the retreat was a positive thing that I have done for myself. I left the retreat feeling like I was part of the community of people there. I would go everyday if possible."

"The ENTIRE day was VERY well planned and spaced out. The venue and facilities were amazing for this event: check-in, bathroom facilities, classroom size for the amount of people we had to accommodate, our props, chairs, place for shoes and bags, refrigeration for lunches, tea set-up, and dining area well spaced for people to all gather. I was actually very surprised how quick time went for the 30 minute lunch break.... everyone was visiting while eating, and before we knew it, time was up, quick trips to bathroom, and quickly got back settled in for the next set of classes. LOVED the music selection for each segment (VERY apropos). LOVED the sound bowl use that you incorporated into the class (wouldn't even mind more of it). LOVED the various choices of essential oils you provided (I wouldn't mind on a retreat like that to even have the opportunity to be able to put some on for the senses at the beginning of the day as well as its use during the massages you provide at the end of Yin Yoga. LOVED the comradery among all the participants. The consciousness self-massage techniques that you incorporated into class solidifies how important touch is, especially how much you miss that when you lose your spouse. Thank YOU so very much for your time at this event Lisa!! I found this event to be very supportive and healing for my mind, body and soul on this journey of life and would definitely attend another!"

"Everyone’s attitude, personalities made CONNECTIONS easy! Lisa has fun, loving ways! It was formatted so that each of us learned something new. I’m always impressed how Lisa can queue the movements ahead of time, I totally know it’s coming next. If you got notes, I don’t know it! I’m not a sit still person but gave a 1/2 day of my time to yoga. The camaraderie was good and got better. Nothing was too hard, and the amendments were fairly easy."

"The best parts were spending time as a group and learning different techniques... also massage at the end! Lisa provided joy and relaxation. Much needed for the day."

"This was a wonderful day of self-care. Lisa led us through sessions with several different types of yoga as well as guiding us through meditation and self-massage.  We were able to connect with others in the group and share experiences and feelings. All together, a memorable event!"  

"Lisa’s all day workshop was the best yoga I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing. She provided poses in a variety of different styles and studies. She individually assisted each of us and accommodated people depending on what their issues were. I’m hoping I’m in town for the next session." 

"​Taking Lisa Wixted’s full day workshop was a gift that I gave myself. My daily stresses were replaced by stretches for all parts of my body as well as meditative times to quiet my racing thoughts. I look forward to her next one."
