About this Retreat

Details of this retreat
Join local yoga instructor Jenn Russo for this weekend yoga tucked away in the redwoods. We will focus on using the breath to strengthen our practice and experience a lasting peace. Afternoons will be a slow flow/restorative practice, focused on calming, centering and relaxation. The morning practice will emphasize movement initiated by breath. This vinyasa practice is vigorous, yet full of ease, balancing our lives both on and off of the mat. Whether you are coming to relax after harvest, or before the holidays or to just take a break for yourself, this weekend will leave you filling restored and renewed. There will be time on Saturday for an afternoon hike, nap or massage.
COVID POLICY: For your safety and ours, we require that all guests be vaccinated against Covid and provide proof of a negative covid test result within 48 hours of arrival. We wish to provide peace of mind for all of our residents and guests.
