Lakeside Retreat

I am fairly new to yoga, probably because I found it a bit intimidating for beginners. I am happy to say, I have had the pleasure to experience both group and private classes with Janis. The atmosphere is always welcoming. Janis' integration of sound healing in her yoga classes really adds to the feelings of relaxation and peace I leave with. Since attending classes at Lakeside Retreat, not only have I been able to relieve pain from previous injuries (via Restorative Yoga); I have also gained strength and flexibility.

I have had the chance to recieve sound therapy several times now by Janis. The experience is hard to describe, other than I can feel a kind of energy circulating through my body. One session left me speechless, I could see the energy I had been feeling inside me through the way my fingers were moving at the end; it was remarkable!! Sound therapy has helped me with aches I have in my body, but also those that I have in my heart (metaphorically). I would recommend giving it a try. At the very least, I always leave feeling so calm yet energized.

Lakeside Retreat has definitely helped me heal in more than one way! Thank you!!

I stayed in the Willow Suite at Lakeside. From the moment you enter the property to the moment you leave, Janis (owner/operator) allows you to feel relaxed and wanting for more. I had one-on-one yoga sessions with her which were truly unbelievable. I’ve taken various yoga styles before, but nothing compares to Janis’ classes. She is so attentive as an instructor and always reminded me to be in tune with myself. She will guide you at your own pace. I also experienced my first sound healing sessions with Janis. What a relaxing and eye-opening experience. She read my energy so well which allowed her to more precisely work on my energy movement. I loved the sessions! You will not be disappointed with any activity you choose to participate in. To top it off the bed was super comfortable and the views were killer views! Don’t waste time thinking, just book your next retreat/session with Janis! You’ll be pleased you did.

I've stayed a weekend in the Twin Pines suite and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and lost track of time with how surreal it felt with how captivating the lake, trees and lights looked at night in the rain. Yoga and Sound Healing has been extremely helpful with my mental and overall physical health. Learning Sun Salutations was something I didn't know I needed and has become something I do before every workout, and it's been a life saver when I'm feeling overwhelmed or stressed in my daily life. Definitely recommended.

From the moment you arrive and are welcomed at Lakeside Retreat, you begin to relax. Set right on the lake shore, there are views from your private patio hot tub, melting stress as you watch the tall tree branches sway in the wind and ripples cover the lake. Yoga, paddle boarding and star gazing from the dock you feel like you are in a remote, secret location. The sound therapy Janis offers is not to be missed. The peace and serenity experienced is second to none. To have all of this offered in one tranquil location on the lake is heaven.

The Lakeside Retreat was an absolutely incredible experience.
Janis (owner/operator) makes one feel safe, comfortable and confident in the care one is lucky enough to receive from her. Not only does she perform an amazing sound healing session, but she also will read ones chakras and sense where there are blockages of energy that need to be released.
The treatment was incredibly effective in reducing stress and promoting relaxation. The therapist was skilled and knowledgeable, and the sounds of the instruments used were soothing and therapeutic. The environment was peaceful and calming, adding to the overall experience. I felt transformed after the session and would highly recommend this treatment to anyone looking to improve their overall well-being."
Thank you Janis you are incredible ! :)
