The Pearl Laguna at 21095 Raquel Road, Laguna Beach, California.

My week long experience was amazing on every level: emotionally, spiritually and physically. Everyone on the staff was superb; the hikes were challenging; the food was exceptional, and the yoga classes were so beneficial that I have decided I am no longer yoga-phobic. I have been in the habit of skipping meals -- too busy to eat. No more of that. I know what is good to put into my body for nourishment -- I learned how to take breaks and rest. And I achieved amazing results. I lost weight (not really my primary goal) gained energy (paramount) and my eyes (which are the windows to the soul) cleared up. Stopped tearing and all the redness went away. How? I don't know. Just trust the process. I have returned to my daily life with new tools and techniques that are easy to follow. And the guests were terrific. We have organized a little support community to keep us going. I hope to return next year. Thank you to everyone at the Blue Pearl: Derek, Conrad, Anna, Lucia,Sara, Barbara, Geo and Katresha, and to all the massage therapists. Namaste.
