Retreat to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Tahoe, California, for a transformative yoga and hiking retreat that blends adventure with relaxation. Immerse yourself in daily yoga and meditation classes set against stunning panoramic views of the crystal-clear Lake Tahoe and alpine mountains, inspiring inner peace and presence. Experience a sense of adventure with invigorating hikes through serene forest trails, reconnecting with nature at every step. Between activities, enjoy water sports on the pristine lake or simply unwind on the shoreline, soaking in the tranquility. Whether you're seeking rejuvenation, adventure or a peaceful getaway, our Body Flows retreat offers the perfect balance of movement and stillness in one of nature's most awe-inspiring settings, Lake Tahoe California!
Our retreat will be held at the gorgeous beachfront resort on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Beach Retreat & Lodge, with incredible alpine vistas and views of the tranquil blue waters of Lake Tahoe. Step out of your room onto the sand, relax on the beach, enjoy a cruise, watersports or swim in the lake, and watch the spectacular Lake Tahoe sunsets.
We will practice yoga at the Lodge on an outdoor deck. The morning yoga classes will be mostly vinyasa flow yoga for all levels, linking movement with the breath for an energizing yet relaxing flow. With creative and balanced sequences, strengthening and lengthening, detoxing and pranayama, you will experience a strong, safe and supportive practice. Modifications and options will be provided for different abilities. You'll have the opportunity to play with some backbends, arm balances, and inversions if you choose, and cool down with some deep stretches to restore the body and mind. The evening classes will be yin yoga, with longer held seated and supine postures, stretching, lengthening, releasing tension and creating more space in deeper layers of connective tissues in the body. Yin yoga is also a perfect opportunity to journey inwards and practice meditation.
All levels are welcome and encouraged. We look forward to retreat'ing with you in gorgeous Lake Tahoe!
