This trip was the perfect combination of learning, doing and just being. The details were expertly planned and executed so that I did not have to worry about anything other than getting on the bus in the morning. I felt safe at all times, which was important to me as a solo traveler.

Even for someone like me who hardly ever practices yoga, this well-being trip filled up my cup to the brim. It was relaxing, educational, enlightening, and absolutely one of the best journeys I've been on. It was a wonderful investment in the well being of me!
Andy KSardinia & Corsica 2025
Sailing the Mediterranean from Sardinia to Corsica was nothing short of magical–a perfect blend of freedom, discovery, and awe. Each day felt like entering a new world. We anchored off hidden coves accessible only by boat and discovered white sandy beaches, granite cliffs, and beautifully clear turquoise coves where we could swim, snorkel and paddle board straight from the deck. Mornings began with yoga on pearl sand beaches. The chef’s prepared fabulous Blue Zone healthy, nutritious and delicious meals. The journey wasn’t just about moving from one island to another; it was about surrendering to the sea’s slow tempo and rediscovering the joy of small, elemental moments that can only happen under sail.

Lorraine is an excellent yoga instructor. The Baja Nature Immersion Yoga retreat was well planned and busy with many amazing activities - whale watching, snorkeling and kayaking - however there was always time for yoga. The local guides were knowledgeable, informative and fun.

Lorraine is a thoughtful leader. She helps keep things running smoothly, while keeping calm.
Mary HBaja Yoga Retreat 2023 and class attendee
Lorraine is such a caring yoga instructor. She takes the time to observe where each student is at, what issues a student might be struggling with and finds appropriate alternatives. She creates a safe space. Our group had a great dynamic, most folks were willing to try new things. I believe this was due to Lorraine’s care, and also our great guide, Citlali, from Blue Turtle Sustainable.

Lorraine’s adventure retreats intersect mindfulness together with the best combination of activities! She knows how to balance the mind/body with learning and exploration. The yogi travelers were a wonderful group of men and women who enjoy traveling and learning together.
Trudie BIceland 2022 and Multiple retreat participant
Our trip with you to Iceland was a total delight! Lorraine is such a caring, loving and inspirational person to be with and travel with. She watched over us and made sure everyone was accounted for and taken care of throughout the week. Having yoga most mornings and evenings really added to the trip - very grounding and energizing in the morning, and relaxing in the evening. It was alot of fun that each day was its own adventure and the group was such a pleasure to be with. Thank you for such a memorable trip!
Linda KIceland Retreat 2022, Multiple Retreat Participant & class attendee
Lorraine assembled a great set of individuals who instantly became friends on a wonderful, week-long, action-packed journey through Iceland! It was fabulous that all we had to do was book our flights and everything else was taken care of for us. I would highly recommend a retreat with Lorraine!
