words from the heart

 ​"My Aunt treated me to my first Yama Yoga Retreat in 2018 and this March 2019 will already be my third. Sasha is an absolutely incredible teacher, guide, human, and friend. She instills such a healing environment that allows you to deepen your yoga practice, break down mind barriers, and connect with women from various walks of life. Not to mention there is always dancing, delicious food, and a whole lot of laughter. I cannot express the gratitude I have in my heart to have experienced these phenomenal retreats with such an amazing teacher!"

"​I attended two retreats led by Sasha. I don’t attend yoga regularly and felt nervous about spending a weekend with others with various abilities. Sasha does a remarkable job of helping everyone at their level and offering challenges.  Location is really amazing and the group of women you meet opens your eyes to the importance of connection to other women and community.  I fell in love the first time and brought my mother the following year. I feel reconnected to myself, nature, and community and highly recommend no matter where you are in practice of yoga."

"I have had an incredible time at Yama Yoga Retreats. It is a time I reserve for myself every year to focus on health, self care, soaking in nature and being inspired by the women I meet. I love the mix of yoga, outdoor activities, meditation and dancing! I feel my best when I leave and I am always excited to plan a return trip. Sasha is fun, compassionate and a very talented yogini. Her approach fills each retreat with laughter and memories."

 "Sasha's retreat in Pagosa Springs Colorado was fabulous and I look forward to attending again! Not only does she facilitate the absolute best yoga and meditation sessions she is an amazing chef! Many of the women developed new friendships which have continued outside the retreat. The surroundings were beautiful and the facilities were extraordinary! Although we had a full schedule we had time to hike and explore the local hot springs. I would highly recommend to anyone."

 "I have attended two of Sasha's yoga retreats and I loved them both. Sasha is an encouraging and active yoga instructor, a wonderful cook, and an amazing hostess. The retreat is a time to reconnect with your body, your mind and your purpose. It's also a time for connection with other women, and growth in your practice. Sasha's retreat is an enriching and healthy way to relax, grow, connect, or look inward. Highly recommended for its content and its incredible value!"  ~Patricia Miller 

 "I felt rejuvenated and recharged after attending Sasha's Yama Yoga Retreat!  It was the perfect balance of gentle yoga, self reflection and sharing wholesome meals and conversation with like-minded women. It was a true gift to remove myself from my busy work/family life and treat my body and soul - I can't wait for the next one!"

~Susan Murray

"Sasha is the ultimate hostess - whether it is on a yoga retreat or with her full attention to the yogis in class.  She has mastered the art of the details.  She is positive and supportive in every way along with a bunch of fun!"
