Yoga ~ Hiking ~ Wine Tasting! ~ Essential Oils ~ Vision Boards ~ Nature

Relax ~ Rejuvenate ~ Recharge ~ Renew

Celebrate the Summer Solstice (June 20), the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, as well as International Yoga Day (June 21) with other inspiring yogis and friends, with daily yoga and meditation, mindfulness and wellness workshops, hiking in nature, nourishing, local farm-to-table cuisine and delicious, biodynamic healthy wines! We're so grateful to be hosting this retreat at the lovely Westerbeke Ranch, just 1 hour drive north of San Francisco, and 10 mins drive from Sonoma town plaza.

We invite you to move and nourish your body and connect deeply with your soul.

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.
