Join us in Sonoma Wine Country for a wonderful outdoor yoga retreat on a local farm, converted into the most amazing retreat center, with 5-star yurts, glamping style tents and gourmet vegetarian cuisine! We'll practice outdoor yoga on a beautiful outdoor deck overlooking nature, relax with guided meditations, and enjoy local, delicious and handcrafted seed to service meals, moderate guided hiking trails, evening local wine tasting, campfire gatherings, and lots of positive energy and smiles from our wonderful like-minded yogis and friends.
Connect more deeply with your Self, mother nature and those around you, while opening yourself up to new possibilities, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and destressing from your every day life!
The yoga classes will be mostly Vinyasa Flow for all levels, linking movement with the breath, moving your body through both power and restorative poses. The classes will be theme-based, creative and balanced and will incorporate pranayama (breathing), strengthening, stretching, detoxing, energizing, and meditation. You will experience a safe and nurturing practice, leaving you feeling relaxed yet energized. There will be one yin/restorative class during the retreat.
All levels are welcome and encouraged! We look forward to meeting you!
Client Testimonial: "What a Beautiful Location for a Retreat! The Food was Amazing, and our Rustic Accommodations was an Adventure. Sally guided us through Blissful Meditation and Yoga Practices in a serene environment. This retreat challenged and nourished my soul! I felt a great sense of Community on this retreat and Thank You Sally, for making this retreat so personalized and special to each and every one of us." ~ Jessica, Sept 2016
"The Body Flows yoga retreat at Lotus Feed Farm provided a much needed break and reset from hectic everyday life. Sally was amazing - providing just the right amount of different types of yoga and meditation to make the weekend relaxed and full of time to self reflect. The weekend taught me more about myself and about other amazing people in a very short time. The lessons I learned have stayed with me as I re-entered normal work and home life. I feel calmer and more content. I recommend Body Flows and Sally's retreats to anyone that needs time away to balance your life." ~ Anne, Sept 2016
This retreat will be held at the fabulous Lotus Feed Farm and Retreat in Sonoma County, California, 1.5 hours north of San Francisco, surrounded by amazing nature and right in the middle of the fabulous Sonoma wine region.
The Lotus Feed Retreat Center at Taylor Maid Farms rests on 108 acres of vital Sonoma coast nature. Its diverse landscape provides the most exquisite and magical experience of raw and cultivated beauty, from the redwood, fir and oak forests, to the thoughtfully designed circle vegetable gardens that can be walked like a labyrinth. Ocean view ridge-tops overlook colorful and hidden creek beds. The Lotus Feed Retreat Center is blessed with a full palette of wonder, including a gorgeous swimming pond a short 1/4 mile from the main farm.
