Spring into Spring in Sonoma Wine Country with daily yoga and meditation, hiking in nature, essential oils and chakra balancing, nourishing, local farm-to-table cuisine and healthy, biodynamic healthy wines. The retreat will be held at a private ranch just 10 mins drive from the town of Sonoma, surrounded by rolling hills of vineyards and nature.
We invite you to move and nourish your body and connect deeply with your soul as we find balance in our bodies and our lives.
The yoga classes will be mostly Vinyasa Flow Yoga, linking movement with the breath for a mindful, energizing yet relaxing flow. With mindful, creative and balanced sequences, strengthening and lengthening, detoxing and pranayama, you will experience a strong, safe and supportive practice. Options and modifications will be provided. 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.
"This retreat is the absolute best and surpassed my expectations! It was thoughtfully organized and seamlessly executed. Sally, our yoga/meditation guru was exceptional. She is very knowledgeable and guided our sessions with purpose and intentions of positivity, gratitude, and healing. The food was high quality and delicious, accommodations were very comfortable, and the surroundings were perfect for destressing and reconnection. I can't wait to plan my next retreat!" - Annie P, May 2022
