Yosemite Yoga & Hiking Wellness Retreat

June 24 – 27, 2022

4 days, 3 nights

SOLD OUT!

If you would like to be put on a waitlist, for any cancellations please contact me here.

Kick-off Summer with this Solstice immersive experience of connection to ourselves, community, and nature through contemplative practices and fantastic food.

With the gift of this time away on retreat, we will center, ground, and recalibrate ourselves as we breathe in peace with longer, slower fresh mountain air breaths (2500 ft elevation) and exhale longer slower breaths releasing stress & tension. We will practice daily meditation/yoga, hike, tune into our heart’s intention and create a vision board for summer and beyond, take a eucalyptus-infused sauna, soak in the hot tub, and explore the grandeur of Yosemite National Park.

Join us and leave behind the busyness of your daily life and responsibilities and return home renewed and refreshed.

Space is limited for this intimate experience for your preferred lodging book early.

3 nights accommodation (various options) and 4 days of activities
