Journey into the New Year with a relaxing, rejuvenating yet energizing weekend in nature with yoga, meditation, hiking, creative visioning, chakra balancing, nourishing and local food. We're thrilled to be hosting this retreat at a beautiful private ranch just 1 hour drive north of San Francisco, and 10 mins drive from Sonoma town plaza.
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: "Sally's retreat was more than what I was expecting! She is a kind, calming, and a knowledgeable human who does a fantastic job. The space was beautiful and I'd highly recommend one of Body Flows retreats! The essential oil workshop was super fun, interactive, and gave us a chance to learn about how essential oils might help in our respective lives. The food was delicious, as was the wine! Highly recommend!" - Holly N, April 2019
