The space is beautiful and relaxing and she has a very relaxing, calming playlist and really lovely aromatherapy. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Denisa!

A Tranquil Escape at Reverie Retreat in the Black Oak Cabin…read more After a year of transition, transforming and the normal aging process.  My loving wife set up a surprise get away weekend for us. If you are looking for the perfect blend of rustic and modern comfort, the Reverie Retreat is an absolute gem.I almost don't want to tell you about it because I want to keep this treasure to myself.  When we arrived we were warmly greeted, including our anticipated pet Toby. The hot tub provided two amazing sunsets as we looked out over the beautiful infinity pool.  Off in the horizon, Sacramento. This was an unexpected but immensely appreciated experience.  Nestled in the heart of Coloma, this stay is a peaceful sanctuary that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of our normal lives. Shockingly, it is only 1 hour and 45 from our home in Vacaville!! Nestled in the rich history of California's Gold Country. Why It's Special: * Immersive Nature: The cabin is surrounded by a stunning array of Northern California trees and local wildlife.  Maybe it was that March madness, Spring time feel, but from the moment of sunrise the birdsongs greeted our movements outside the cabin and at sunset the periodic songs of frogs set the mood for days end.  During our daylight hours the  silence with only the sound of the wind in the trees and the birdsongs reminded me of my childhood days in the Rogue Valley.  These sounds of silence and the circle of life aid in resetting our soul and opening the door for peace to come during a time when the world seems to have spun off into chaos and uncertainty. * Thoughtful Design: The interior of the Black Oak cabin strikes a perfect balance between cozy and chic. It's clear that every detail--from the comfortable bedding to the curated decor--was chosen to make guests feel instantly at home.  Every need is carefully thought of and met. Each of the three cabins has its own private two person soaking tub with hot and cold water enabled for use at any time of the day and night. * Outdoor Living: The deck is the star of the show. Whether you're sipping coffee in the morning mist or stargazing at night, the atmosphere is pure magic. * Location: Being in Coloma means you're minutes away from the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, the David Girard Winery and the South Fork of the American River.  It really is an ideal base for hikers, history buffs, and rafters alike. The Verdict The Reverie Retreat has created something truly special with three lovely cabins, one being fully ADA compliant, it's more than just a place to sleep; it's an experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and inspired. Whether you're on a solo retreat or a romantic getaway alone or with other couples, this adults only retreat and in particular our Black Oak cabin is a 10/10 recommendation. "The perfect spot to unplug, breathe deep, reset and reconnect with nature ."

I just got back from staying at Reverie and I want to go back. I live near by so I probably will…read moreget another opportunity but I'm still bummed to be home. First of all it's a really gorgeous piece of land. I've seen a lot of nice views of the river canyon but this one was the most beautiful. And peaceful. I think there are photos on the website so just go look. We planned on staying in the newly built yome and I had a brief worry that we might be cold at night but of course it was heated and cozy. I told the owner Tamera that it felt like walking into a Sunset magazine photo. But what ended up being my favorite part of the trip was the couple who created the retreat Tamera and Ramon and their dog Otto. Even though they are far more impressive human beings (and dog) than we can ever hope to be, they were so funny and welcoming. My husband and I had every intention of not being a bother but we kind of got caught up in the delicious food and easy atmosphere that we kind of went into vacation mode and just sopped up their hospitality. Next time I'm taking a cooking class from or something so I'm directed to be more helpful. Or a wine tasting retreat...

This review is for the Wander in the Woods experience with Jamie on 1/31/2026!…read more Are you in need of a reset, or some slowing down from the hustle and bustle of everyday life? Time out in nature? Breathing deeply and meditating with the woods around you? This class is for you! I absolutely loved this experience! It was so peaceful. Having 2 hours to explore in nature with a guide to direct your intention forces you to slow down and interact with your environment. Being outside and sunbathing on a sunny, winter day was lovely. I left feeling grounded and more connected to myself and my surroundings. The chatter in my head was significantly subdued. Location: For starters, Lake Tahoe Yoga = Bliss Experiences. The address originally listed on the website was wrong/ old. After I mentioned it, the location on their website has now been updated! :) The studio is in a little plaza down Kingsbury grade. Maybe an hour from Reno, it is an easy drive when conditions are clear. Scheduling: Normally scheduled on Friday's, I got an email on Wednesday asking if we could move the class to Saturday morning. Although I was flexible, it would be nice to have a little more notice in the future. To bring: Your blanket (one you wouldn't mind getting some dirt on), journal, pen, some warm clothes if during winter, hiking boots, and a good attitude! Experience: I was the only person in the class! I really didn't know what to expect outside of a guided meditation. We met at the Lake Tahoe Yoga studio and started by walking to a nearby trail ( ~10 mins) and introduced ourselves. Along the way, Jamie outlined the session, and pointed out unique growth/ nature features that were special to this area. I was guided to feel almost a childlike sense of curiosity to feel and interact with the world around me; intentionally slipping on the ice a bit, touching moss, and noticing unique features in the landscape, like an alcove of Aspens. As we walked further, I was given options for where we could settle. We found a cozy place on a log, where we could sit in the sun and feel warm enough to still ourselves. Here, I was guided through all of the senses except for taste, and was given time to practice on my own. I had time to journal and just bask at the beauty around us. I probably could have sat there for another 10 - 20 mins just in a meditative state. Afterwards, we began making our way back slowly, walking through the woods and paying attention to what was going on around us - animals, sunshine, seasonal differences. I also learned some new and fun words for describing forests! The session actually ended a little early. I didn't mind since I was hungry and it was lunch time. Session takeaway's & room for improvement: Since I was the only one in the class, the structure of our session was very relaxed and catered to my preferences. Jamie is very sweet and considerate of your needs, and is willing to cater the experience if you want more time reflecting, meditating, or using your senses. If the weather improves, maybe even an opportunity for some yoga poses?? Jamie was very receptive to my thoughts and it seems like the flow of the class is still being tweaked since it is relatively new. Jamie is also studying in nutrition and is offering some unique classes related to Mindful eating. Overall, there are some really neat classes being offered! I look forward to coming back and getting my zen on!

Bachelorette Parties Beware! If you are planning a calm,…read moregentle reset with your girls for a bachelorette party I would look elsewhere. My friend, the bride, had organized and paid for all ($25/person, the drop-in rate) all 9 of us to attend a Saturday morning, 9 am gentle flow class more than a month prior to us going. Fast forward the week of, the bride receives an email mentioning that the guide who typically offers the Saturday Gentle Flow is out of town, and as a result of the late change, they do not have another guide for 9am. She did offer us times on Friday, Saturday and Sunday noting that 5 out of the 7 options would be a private session for our group. The only time that worked with our plan of events was 7am on Saturday (one of the private session options) so as a group we all agreed and were excited to start our day with a gentle flow. Our poor bride, who I should mention is the sweetest, most go with the flow wants everyone to be happy kind of woman, begins receiving calls and texts from the owner asking if we really want to do 7am with a bachelorette party, she has to drive in and teach the class herself, and because it was now a private class it would be $78 dollars more! It was nowhere in the rescheduling email that it would cost more for the private session. The math was not mathing. The night before class, we all ask the bride what she wanted to - we're girls girls, we ride together. She very much wanted to start the day with a gentle flow class. That was all we needed, all 8 of us were 100% in with the bride and promised to go in with open minds. We arrive on time and walk in surprised how close together our 9 mats are to one another, there was no way if she had opened the class up to others to make it a non-private session even one more person would have fit! Again, we take a deep breath, try hard to have open minds and sit on our mats. Then the guide/owner opens her mouth...She does not start with a congratulations to the bride, in fact not once does she acknowledge or congratulate the bride, instead she starts with "wow I'm surprised you are all here at 7 am, usually bachelorettes have a hard time getting here at 9am." Then she sits on her mat and in a condescending tone ask "how is the elevation treating you all, nauseous? Headaches? Fatigue?" I laugh because clearly she is trying to figure out if we're hungover - which we were not! As I laugh she looks over, and without hesitation I let her know I'm always fatigued and tired, I'm a mom of a toddler. Another friend mentions that half of us are moms, the other half are teachers we are always all fatigued. The owner then changes the topic to see what problem areas we may be having, collectively we let her know that there are some tight hips, sore shoulders, and lower back pains. She lets us know she will guide us through a restorative flow to address those issues. Not the gentle flow we signed up for. Like I mentioned the room was small. There were times that friends had their feet and hands on one another because there was no room. We were told this was okay, lean into your friends. With a foot in a face?!? That's normal and okay? Two of us were against a wall and couldn't even fully do some of the flows because our arms and legs had no room and no where to go because of the wall. The bride didn't even have the straps and blocks at her station when we started. We never did any typical yoga flow positions, no child's pose, no down, no warriors, no tree, and shavasana had two blocks under our backs that were very uncomfortable and not how I have ever ended a yoga class. In fact, there was really no flow. It was do this position with these blocks, add straps, etc. Halfway through I noticed she was taking photos of us. We never signed anything allowing her to take photos of us. She never even asked for a verbal okay before taking pictures. And some of the positions she had us in while taking photos could not be flattering for anyone. I noted that and was planning on calling her out at the end. Luckily, at the end of class she mentioned she took photos "for us" and would air drop them to the bride. Two of these photos have ended up on her insta-stories this week. Obviously, these photos were for her own personal gain and not for us. Again, not one of us approved the photos being taken let alone used for her social media content. And the kicker - remember how the math was not mathing. Well, in a very stern tone, she calls the bride at the end of class that they had things to finish up front, aka pay the unexplained $78. Again, our sweet, kind bride didn't want any trouble and just handed over her credit card. Maybe she's kinder to corporate retreats or drop-ins, but if you're planning on going for a bachelorette party do not expect for your bride to be congratulated/made to feel special, instead plan on being judged and expected to be hung over.

The spa seemed clean, but one of the saunas was out of order the day I was in. The massage was great! The attendant asked me for my pressure preference and the aromatherapy was not overwhelming or overpowering. My massage took about an hour but I had access to the facility for the day. I did leave after an hour since there wasn't much to do other than the hot tub and one sauna. Overall, I enjoyed the services but I do wish they offered more, like a pool, salt room, or other amenities.

I like bringing my wife here, normally she's very relaxed and calm when I pick her up…read more Today, apparently they went out of their way to upset her, and in turn make me pretty angry. We've been paying for a membership now for two years, but we are certainly reconsidering that decision. First of all we traveled all the way from Southern California, and we actually went to buy swimwear as so she could enjoy the amenities, beforehand as she has done before. Today she ran into a receptionist who refused to grant her that privilege, I immediately told her I could pick her up, but she told me she'd be done sooner, according to them. She said that they denied her because it was to limit the exposure to heat prior to the injections? Did some recent study just get published that says exposure to a sauna, jacuzzi or a steam room before getting injected 90 minutes prior is dangerous? I just find it hard to believe that this policy is in place when she arrived well over an hour before her appointment for them not to allow her to enter the facility with a day pass is very unpleasant action. Then to tell her that they would see her sooner but subsequently fail to meet that objective and to make her wait the entire time without any word or update is atrocious behavior. Because they did not see her sooner they basically cheated her out of a large portion of her day. How is this acceptable? How do the owners think this is treatment their clients deserve? This is as nasty as the ring at the bottom of a public toilet. You stressed my wife out, and made her far more tense than when I had initially brought her! What exactly is the point of ruining her day? Why is management unable to make good on their word? Why lie to her? Is this how you treat the people who support your business? What she hoped to be a refreshing experience turned into a nightmare. How can we possibly continue to support such an establishment in good faith? Why travel from LA? Why buy swimwear? Why have a membership here? These are the questions my experience from today are leaving me with. It enrages me that you disappointed a loyal customer and she's too sweet and kind to say it herself but the only memorable moments she'll take are that you were mean and you lied to her, and she'll probably blame herself. Not the best wellness in my opinion. This spa clearly has issues that it needs to resolve before I'd recommend anyone bringing themselves or someone they cared about here. Stay away from places like this.
