Retreat Testimonials

Leah’s retreats are so nourishing, healing, challenging and fun that I’m gearing up for my 4th in three years. Attentive, expert instruction, local knowledge of the trails and swimming spots, great community in a spectacularly beautiful setting. After a few days in Sierra City, I feel like I’ve leveled up and I’m inspired to focus on my daily practice back home. – Scott, Ventura

Leah – Thank you for the most wonderful week, in I can’t remember how long. Dave and I have really appreciated your creativity and generosity in designing such a perfect retreat. Plus you’re hands-down the best yoga teacher I’ve ever had. It’s been great to reconnect, and I look forward to future yoga adventures with you. Gratefully – Kim & Dave, Alameda

My July yoga retreat with Leah Gillman and Karen Johnson, in Sierra City,  was deeply satisfying on so many levels- content, group energy, and the glorious mountains!  My husband and I went together and really enjoyed our experience!    Leah and co-teacher Karen personally extended themselves in teaching- both are brimful of wisdom, curiosity, commitment,  and passion for teaching.  They went above and beyond my expectations to create a rewarding experience over 5 days, providing wholistic, multilevel yoga classes.  Both morning and late afternoon classes were thoughtfully designed and complemented each other, and the hands on adjustments were delicious as we practiced in the beautiful (and cool!) Community Hall.  The dynamic morning classes gently challenged me and were both cumulative and stand-alone experiences.  The afternoon restorative classes were relaxing and melted muscles tired from hiking and swimming in the beautiful mountains.  We both reveled in bodywork treatments of barefoot massage with Leah – bliss!  Also, Leah knows the area and helped us find perfect hikes and walks for our needs. We had plenty of free time during the day, and staying at the Buttes Resort was great.  Our cottage was clean, comfortable and rustic; the setting and deck view was spectacular; the price reasonable and everything was walking distance.  We look forward to sharing another retreat. – Lisa Klein, Oakland
