Root 2 Rise Yoga Retreats

Root 2 Rise Yoga retreats aim to facilitate a deepened connection between Self and universal wisdom immersing you in the culture, people, traditions, nature, food and arts of the places we're inspired to visit.  We pre-visit and choose retreat locations that promote a balance between your choice of inner reflection and opportunities to mingle with locals and other adventurous travelers to experience genuine cultural exchange.  Our chosen accommodations are comfortable and in safe locations within walking distance of fun places to visit and explore to be a part of the local community.  We mindfully support the local economy, arts and environment where we travel whenever possible and hope to foster appreciation for diverse cultures and understanding of our essential oneness as humanity.  

During global physical distancing, we hosted our first virtual live retreat on October 30, 2020.  Stay tuned for upcoming offerings, and check out our 3-day December 2020 online workshop series, Tools for Clarity, breaking down the tools presented on our online retreat in 90-minute sessions, once per day.

Thanks for the great (Costa Rica 2014) retreat!  Yoga twice a day was fantastic, even for a newbie like me....Great people, food, and memorable experiences.         
​-Lillian Utsumi, (Los Angeles, CA) 
It was a perfect spring day to hike and practice yoga outdoors. Michelle always delivers clear instructions and provides the right amount of push to try new things, on and off the mat. The drum circle with Delton Davis was very engaging and the vegan cheesecake by Britt Moore was just delightful. So glad I went to the (Spring 2017) retreat!

What Our Clients Are Saying

Michelle truly lives out what she teaches. She is so much more than a yoga teacher - I learned this when I went on her exquisitely curated trip that she organized to Costa Rica this past June 2018...Hopefully like me, you'll be delighted by her effervescent love of movement, nature, and all people!
-Rebekah B. (Los Angeles, CA) *See more YELP Reviews
Michelle clearly stands out with her beautiful and bright energy. I love how her practice and teaching encompass body, mind and spirit. She not only teaches yoga but lives and exudes it.
-Marianne Manes (Los Angeles, CA)
Michelle not only teaches 'yoga', she embodies it fully with her heart and soul...
​-Christin M. (Los Angeles, CA) *See more YELP Reviews
Michelle is by far one of the best instructors I've ever had, period. Patient, clear in her explanations and demos, and so encouraging...
-Jessica L. (North Hollywood, CA) *See more YELP Reviews
My first yoga class was with Michelle years ago.  ​You can have the best (yoga pose) sequence and not teach from your heart.  With Michelle, I also feel her passion when I'm in her class.  I can see she loves what she does, and she inspired me to want to teach yoga, too.
-Janette Guzman (Northridge, CA)

I’ve had dozens of instructors over the years, but Michelle is far and away the best yoga mentor I’ve ever practiced with. She epitomizes grace during these difficult times. Michelle has saved my sanity and my back while working from home, keeping me grounded with her sharing of yogic teachings and meditation techniques. Her repertoire of physical asanas is encyclopedic, and I’ve loved learning new poses and stretching my boundaries. Jump in, all. You’ve got this!
