We have been creating Blissed Out Experiences since 2013. Along the way we have touched the lives of many guests, and we want to share some of their experiences with you in their own words. We hope you can experience Blissed Yoga Retreat magic soon!

Blissed Yoga Reteats to Iceland with Lauren and Travis was magical, especially with experience officer April. From the yoga to excursions, every promise and expectation was realized. Would go again in a heartbeat.
This not only was my first trip with Blissed Yoga Retreats but it was also my introduction to the world of yoga. My wife has practiced yoga for years and when this trip to Iceland came up, I agreed to go. As expected, Iceland was amazing and each day perfectly planned for us including free time. What I hadn’t expected was learning so much about yoga in such a short span of time and, more importantly, loving and looking forward to each session. Lauren and Travis were amazing, both of them down to earth good people who were enjoyable to be around. Thank you so much for an experience we will never forget. This definitely won’t be our last retreat!!
I can honestly say that Blissed Yoga Retreats has exceptional customer service. Upon arrival in Thailand, Erika and her team were available to help everyone sort out any issues, or concerns and continued to connect and make sure everyone had a wonderful time. The retreat itself was filled with great yoga, delicious food and daily excursions. There is so much that goes into planning yoga retreats and I felt every detail was taken care of, which allowed me to fully relax and enjoy the beauty of Thailand. I have been a few yoga retreats over the past 10 years and my experience dealing with Blissed Yoga Retreats surpassed any other experience. If you are thinking about doing a yoga retreat, booking with them is a must!
I thoroughly enjoyed my first Yoga retreat with Blissed Yoga Retreats. Everything was handled both professionally and personally. It was a terrific experience. My Yoga instructors, Travis Eliot and Lauren Eckstrom are not only fabulous Yoga instructors, but an incredible Team that made this retreat (with their style, knowledge and generosity) an amazing life experience. The combination of Blissed Yoga Retreats, Travis and Lauren, this retreat/vacation was a trip filled with warm memories. I highly recommend Blissed Yoga Retreats as the “go-to” for any of your Yoga retreats.
This is my fourth Yoga retreat, facilitated by all different retreat companies, and I would have to say Erika and Blissed Yoga Retreats is above par. I felt well taken care of and the retreat went seamless. The yoga teachers were able to focus on Yoga and Blissed did exactly what is in their title… created a Blissed out state for the attendees and the teachers.
It’s been days since I have returned from the yoga retreat, but I am still feeling grounded and centered despite the usual stresses of my life. Thank you for this experience! It was wonderful! I love Blissed Yoga Retreats!
I just wanted to shoot you an email to say thank you and tell you what a wonderful time I had in Mexico. You have a wonderful team of people and the resort was just perfect. Thank you for a magical experience and I plan on booking more trips with Blissed Yoga Retreats in the future. ❤️
From the time I booked to when I returned home, Blissed Yoga Retreats was there every step of the way. They made the trip an effortless adventure full of wonderful experiences. Their attention to detail allowed the group to completely enjoy the location, yoga, and each other. While I will always be partial to the yoga retreat in Costa Rica, you can’t go wrong with Blissed Yoga Retreats.
Amazing experience on my first yoga retreat. Erika was a fantastic coordinator and Heather was the best yoga instructor I have had! Will definitely be going back!
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for organizing yoga retreats like the one in Costa Rica!
This place is paradise, indeed! Everything is extraordinary: the nature, the locals and their spirit, the yoga group, the food, OMG, the food …. the room is very nice!
I am speechless. Thank you Blissed Yoga Retreats!
The retreat was arranged by Blissed Yoga Retreats and the retreat was located at La Cusinga in Cosa Rica on the south west coast of Costa Rica. The travel to there a was long but entirely worth the effort and time. I’ve been to Costa Rica before but this trip was different and special. Different and special because of the people involved. It felt as if I had known everyone involved with the trip as in a previous life. Shannon led with amazing energy and the staff mirrored the relaxed and friendly nature of La Cusinga’s owner who took time to tell us the history of the property. The days were filled with meditation, yoga and local activities. The nights were filled with relaxing dinners, laughter, wonderful conversation and music…..unbelievable duets by Shannon and a surprise appearance by the bar tender who is a very accomplished guitarist. After the retreat I found myself living in the moment more enjoying each day as I was in it.
This was my first time going on a yoga retreat and it exceeded all of my expectations. Erika was a phenomenal coordinator making sure everything ran smoothly. Heather was a wonderful instructor and Megan prepared amazing meals each day. What more could you ask for! I will definitely be going on another one with Blissed Yoga Retreats!
I went on one of Erika’s retreats to Sayulita, Mexico, which was a big deal because I didn’t know Erika or the instructor before signing up. I couldn’t have been any more lucky. Erika organized an amazing trip, and the yoga teacher she worked with, Heather Archer, was one of the best I’ve ever had. Erika was highly communicative and responded to all my questions, made the process very easy, and was also great fun on the trip too. Definitely go one of the Blissed Yoga Retreats!
I just came back from a fantastic retreat in Sayulita, Mexico with Blissed Yoga Retreats and Paul Teodo leading the yoga. Paul’s classes in the morning were strong, sweaty and fun, with amazing music to start off the day right. His evening classes were the real treat for me, though – chilled-out yin classes with lots of meditation and live guitar. During the day, we surfed, hiked, SUP’d and ate fish tacos like it was going out of the style. There was also an amazing masseuse that Blissed Yoga Retreats works with who quite literally changed our lives. (shoutout to our man Armando!)
We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and the meals were perfectly tailored for the diverse eating habits of our group, with vegans, gluten-free and vegetarians munching happily alongside us omnivores. Every step of this trip was smooth, stress-free and fun – just what a retreat should be. For the first time, I came back from my vacation without needing to recover from my vacation!
What an amazing time I had at the Hawaii Blissed Yoga Retreat. This was a trip of a lifetime! The accommodations were lovely, Lumeria Maui is gorgeous without being too over the top plush. I loved it there. The grounds were pristine and the food they served was delicious. Having the meals served as a buffet was perfect for choosing what and how much you want. Yum! The excursions were super fun too. Lots of thought went into the details of this trip. I appreciated that very much. It was wonderful how great the group got along too. Blissed Yoga Retreats rocked this trip for me. Great job on everything and 10 stars all the way!!!
I’m totally in love with the experience that Blissed Yoga Retreats created! It’s truly selfish travel. And I mean that in the most positive way! No need to worry about anything except for booking a plane ticket and getting yourself through the security checkpoint at the airport. We all do so much in our everyday grind. It’s really wonderful to take a break, take a breath and let someone else handle every exquisite detail. I’ve been on two Women’s Empowerment trips to La Cusinga with Heather Archer. She is a phenomenal instructor. Heather is a passionate and extremely talented yogi WHO cares deeply about her student both new and old. La Cusinga Lodge is a hidden treasure nestled in the Costa Rican forest with breath taking ocean views. It’s authentic Costa Rican emersion from the farm to table fresh fruits and vegetables to the friendly and professional native Tico staff. I’ve stayed in the shared accommodations twice, but the individual cabins are lovely. I liked staying right above the main gathering space (the open air lobby pavilion) and having the chance to meet other guests.
The Blissed Yoga Retreat in Maui was a truly beautiful experience. From the peaceful and tranquil Lumeria resort, delicious food, interesting and fun excursions, amazing yoga teachers, Heather and Jamie, you could not ask for more well planned and memorable experience.
There are yoga retreats and then there are Blissed Yoga Retreats. I have been fortunate enough to attend three (Costa Rica, Ojai and Mexico) and I can’t say enough about the level of service, caliber of people attending and the overall experience. I wasn’t even a practicing yogi when I went on my first retreat but I was so inspired by Heather Archer’s teachings that I practice three times a week now. I highly recommend making time for bliss in your life.
