Would definitely seek this out on future trips!

The goal to foster harmony between body, mind, and spirit is obvious in every aspect of the retreat. The teachings of Sid, Howard, and Margaret were wonderful. Each lesson built on the one before as the 3 days unfolded. The mountains are stunning, the food delicious, and accommodations were welcoming and comfortable. Highly recommend.

This place is magical. I attended a 5 day juice cleanse with a friend. Yes, the directions to the…read moreplace are a tad difficult, but once you get there it's amazing. Prama is a non-profit so the accommodations are simple, but clean. I was always comfortable and there were a dozen other women there from all over the country. My intention was to learn to be calm, reduce stress and lose a few pounds. Ramesh is the director and leads meditation and the educational workshops. I finally learned to meditate! . The education was very interesting. Aryuvedic is equal parts art/science. Jessica, former prosecutor turned yogi, is so cool. She led the subtle yoga movement each morning, which supported my goal of being flexible and strong. Prama has a chef that prepared delicious vegan meals (egg plant and quinoa rolls!) and all of the juices. I had an individual consultation with Ramesh and learned about my 'Dosha' and the best foods for me. I also had a massage with Ren - maybe the best massage ever! In a nutshell, I had the best time with the other women (we continue to support each other via a group text), lost weight, feel calm and can control my stress. I bought a juicer and stick to the food list like it's a religion. I am telling everyone I know about my great my experience. I plan to return for another juice fast and a silent meditation retreat.

We really loved this climbing gym/bike park as a family, but ultimately the price had us cancelling…read moreour membership. Staff is wonderful and helpful. Facilities are amazing! We especially loved the bike park portion for our kid. At $160 a month for a family of 3 (since our 4th was free because she's under 4), we just couldn't afford it anymore. We asked if we could do a bike only membership, and they said they no longer offer them. I was also interested in the different groups they hosted (examples: homeschool groups, etc), but the group membership if I remember correctly was $160 per person just to be apart of groups. I really do wish they had something more all-inclusive at a better price, as well as just better prices all around. We were only able to go about once a week which just didn't make the high price tag worth it. We've been to similar climbing gyms for $100 a month for a family, so this was just too steep for our budget. I've heard from several other local families that have had the same experience. Hoping they make things more cost effective for future families to join!

I really appreciated that. Her massage was absolute bliss! She found my hidden tight spots that I thought were sorted and smoothed them out.

And the coup de grâce was Reiki streaming through it all. I highly recommend Megan for massage!!

The retreat basically gives you a course in nutrition while providing a holistic cleanse of everything- you cleanse/reset your digestive system (fasting), your skin (mud packs and sauna), your nervous system (yoga, meditation and support). The staff was so caring - it definitely feels like a service they are providing rather than anything for profit (technically it's a non-profit I think). Also a friend who'd been before was laughing with me about how everyone there looks about twenty years younger than they are-- that was good marketing for us. If you are even slightly tempted to go, I doubt you will be disappointed.
