Fall Equinox Yoga Retreat with Hiking and Wine Tasting!
in Sonoma, California

September 18-20, 2020

with Sally Mitchell (Yoga Teacher, Massage Therapist and Integrative Health Coach)

Cultivate more balance in your life and celebrate the Fall Equinox, a time of balance and letting go, at our yoga, hiking and wine tasting retreat in Sonoma Wine Country. Enjoy a healthy weekend getaway with other inspiring yogis. We have a relaxing and rejuvenating weekend planned with yoga, wellness, hiking, nourishing and local food and delicious, biodynamic, healing wines.

The Fall Equinox is a time of balance, with equal hours of day and night, light and dark, and a perfect time to let go of the past and create positive intentions for the new Fall season, through guided meditations, yoga and inner reflection, opening yourself up to new possibilities.

The 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. There will be one Yin Yoga class during the retreat.

Attendees must comply with social distancing during the retreat, in yoga classes, workshops, meals, pool, hiking, and around the property. All rooms are single occupancy for this retreat. This will be a wonderful opportunity for us to share a sacred space of yoga, meditation and wellness, whilst also take time for yourself for self reflection, relaxation and rejuvenation.

Nourish your body, connect with your self and nature, and relax and rejuvenate!
