Laya Yoga Retreat Testimonials

“A life changing experience!”

            The connections with the other retreaters were nourishing for the soul. It made me realize how technology has replaced conversations. The property is beautiful although basic for the purpose of discovering a simple life. The yoga was gentle for beginners yet challenged me to examine my thought patterns and ways of coping. I found a way back to myself that has long laid dormant. Since the retreat I have found more joy in simplicity and gratitude. I was uncertain about the raw diet and if it would be satisfying. I found it to be more than enough. I enjoyed the meals and have continued making them at home. Meranda is an excellent teacher who meets students where they are. She is calm and patient, and able to model the philosophy of yoga. I would highly recommend this retreat as I learned skills I will carry for a lifetime.  Shan D.  Sep 2, 2024 

            “Exceeded expectations!”

            This retreat offers a deeper dive into the yogic/energetic realms than I was anticipating and that made the experience all the more profound and exciting. Meranda is an exceptional teacher, in that her knowledge, teaching skills, humility and patience are up there with the very best….and of course her joyful, infectious laugh and sense of humour will make you feel very comfortable and relaxed. The raw, vegan diet was surprisingly good and very filling. This is truly a retreat in every sense of the word, a chance to examine that which is not serving you and to clarify a path forward towards more conscious living.  Marie-louise P.  Aug 12, 2024 

            “I booked this retreat after a Google search and a “feeling”.”

            The Tree of Life Centre facility and teaching was exactly what I needed to restart my yoga fire. Over the years I have learned from a handful of very knowledgeable teachers, Meranda is now on my short list. The bunk house accommodations were minimalistic but comfortable. This is not a luxury resort, it’s a retreat that reminds us that we really don’t need more than basics to be content. Our retreat offered a raw diet, something I’d never experienced for 5 full days, but felt it was the perfect setting and was glad I opted in for that. The food was tasty and satisfying – fueling me for the daily lessons and environment. This is the real deal yogis! Valerie S.  Aug 9, 2024 

“More than Expected”

Knowledgeable, very interesting, deep, connected, delightful, funny, I received more information than I anticipated. Meranda really builds on info. A generous teacher! The main house was gorgeous & comfy. The sound bowls were incredible. The yoga studio was so nice. The closeness of everything was great. The food was very good. The people were amazing.  Kimberley W.    Jul 13, 2024

            “Amazing experience!”

            This retreat was a fantastic balance between physical yoga and learning about the philosophy. The day was well organized to include a wide range of activities, including some down time to enjoy the nature. The location of this retreat is tranquil and includes a beautiful waterfall where you can safely swim. You can tell right away that the accommodations and the food are all prepared with love, and it was an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be back! Kateryna L.   Jul 29, 2023 

            “Truly Authentic, Safe, and Life-Changing”

            The entire retreat was incredible. The location is in the most beautiful natural setting, the people were absolutely genuine and extremely knowledgeable, the food was so so delicious, all of the sessions were skillfully administered and deeply enlightening. I loved how the retreat center is off-grid because it supports peeling back the layers of illusion and fluff in our lives to get to the core of our being in a gentle, nurturing way that nourishes your entire being. If you’re even thinking about whether or not to attend, just do it. You won’t regret it; honestly you’ll look back on your experience and wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. There aren’t enough positive words to describe how absolutely fantastic this retreat is.  Jessica K.    Jul 16, 2023

            “Amazing experience!”

            Lots of learning covering a variety of topics. Meranda is very knowledge and a great guide whether you’re a beginner or an expert. The accommodation is a cabin in the woods. The room is a bit small but is surrounded by nature. This place focuses on sustainability from drinking water to sewage to electricity. It’s so great to see how it can be done. Don’t miss the waterfalls! The food is amazing (thanks Johanne)! Everything is well taken care of. I would love to attend another retreat again. Carrie H.    Jul 8, 2023

“Life Changing Retreat”

I really enjoyed exploring Laya yoga and diving into yoga philosophy. The book we read from was easy to understand while also covering complex material. The food was spectacular and swimming in the waterfall was a big highlight. Each day was packed with many different activities and discussions. I grew as a person and I’m grateful to bring this knowledge into my life.  Maggie A.  Jul 8, 2023

            “June 24-June 30 Laya Yoga Retreat”

            I liked learning more about the underpinnings, the philosophy of yoga to include the mental/spiritual and physical aspects. This gave me a better understanding of how to achieve/consolidate/incorporate my thoughts, my aspirations and my ability to move on through my life.  Judith J.   Jul 2, 2023 

            “Retreat to the mystical forest “

            This was an AMAZING immersive experience. Meranda and her partners did a great job of navigating the pace of the participants while still making everyone feel very welcome in the shared spaces. This was a treat for the senses however also allowed you to RETREAT FROM the senses. Meranda’s guided meditations, kriyas, asana, philosophy and bliss baths paired with nourishing, amazing food made me feel completely regenerated by the end of the week. The somatic assists helped us to go deeper and unlock some of the tissues that we often have a hard time unlocking ourselves. Nikita C.   Sep 17, 2022

“The perfect spiritual getaway “

My time at this retreat was full of learning, healing, and getting back to myself. Meranda has crafted the week laya retreat masterfully to teach students breathing techniques, practice yoga, ponder life’s questions and much more. The location is beautiful.                                Sherry S.  Aug 27, 2022
