Re-treat yourself to a healthy weekend retreat in Sonoma wine country to relax, rejuvenate, recharge and find balance in your life, body, mind and soul. Enjoy daily yoga and guided meditations, nature and hiking, delicious nourishing food and organic wines and time to connect with yourself.
At our March 22-24 retreat we will celebrate and honor the Spring Equinox as its just a few days after the Spring Equinox. The Spring Equinox is a time of balance, with equal hours of day and night, light and dark, and a time of welcoming in the new light, new life, a time of rebirth and new beginnings, physically, emotionally, spiritually. We will create vision boards to tap into our creativity and manifest our dreams. We will have fun in wine country with evening wine tasting and a like-minded community of mindful yet fun yogis and friends!
Nourish your body, connect with your self and nature, and relax and rejuvenate!
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.
Client Testimonial: "Loved this and highly recommend! Best retreat I have ever attended, and I will be back. Great accommodations, absolutely delectable food, lovely people, stellar yoga and gifted teacher (I am a longtime yogi, and it was plenty challenging, whilst accessible for everyone! Now that is hard to do. I really learned from Sally - her cues and adjustments excellent), time to yourself, hiking and wine tastings. Really, really well done. Namaste, Sally! I am so grateful." - Julie S, March 2019
Client Testimonial: "I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years and this was hands down my favorite retreat. Sally comes with a wealth of yoga knowledge and experience that she shares in a comfortable and supportive way. Her classes were deep, insightful, nourishing, and energizing. The group was awesome professional women from a variety of backgrounds. I love that we practiced yoga and meditation together but also had time to explore on our own or in small groups. I already signed up for another Body Flows retreat!" ~ Angela, June 2018
