About this Retreat
Your Guides
Sarah has loved all forms of movement from a young age and was a competitive athlete for many years. After college rugby took a physical toll on her body, Sarah found a balance of strength and ease through her yoga asana practice. During her years living in West Sonoma, Sarah’s teachers Jenn Russo & Ann Austin helped her deeper her physical & spiritual practice, and showed her the power of a moving meditation to calm busy chatter in the mind.
Wanting to deepen her practice further after relocating to the Big Island of Hawaii, Sarah completed her 200-Hour teacher training with Shivakali Yoga, led by Gloria Baraquio & Serge Bandura. Sarah now resides full-time in Kona, teaching weekly classes at the Yoga Nest while balancing a career in corporate event production. Sarah’s flow classes sequence related postures in a creative, scalable way for all practitioners to connect breath with movement. Sarah encourages her students to approach their practice without judgement, with an end goal of bringing more gratitude, joy, and peace to her students’ lives.

Breathtaking Beauty
Everything is coming up beautiful if you're planning to stay at the Ratna Ling Retreat Center.
Joined my daughter for the Radiance Retreat, hosted by the most delightful Yoga and Meditation professionals who's gifts were boundless and generously shared them with us.
The Cabin was clean, spacious, and newly renovated with natural light and heavenly views. We were bathed in millions of stars at night, cooled by refreshing fog in the morning, and surrounded by soaring trees and warming sunshine.
The staff are volunteers, and delightful without exception. The food was lovingly prepared fresh daily, and absolutely delicious.
The Retreat center includes a beautiful lodge, eating area with indoor/outdoor seating and the most enchanting Tibetan Buddhist Temple and we highly recommend the tour and if you are very lucky, George will be your tour guide.
Don't hesitate to experience the joy, laughter and enlightenment of the Ratna Ling Retreat Center. You will remember the experience with reverence.

Space and Ease
The property is beautiful. The cabin gorgeous and well appointed. The food plentiful and tasty. Nature abounds - saw 3 deer, 15 wild turkey, and many different birds. The morning sunrise over the ridge and fog in the valley started the day and a star filled sky ended the night. Peace and tranquility.
