Grace & Gratitude: A Pre-Thanksgiving Yoga & Meditation Retreat

Join Lauren Cohen and Nat Kendall for a nourishing pre-Thanksgiving weekend in the redwoods! Through soulful yoga practices, dharma discussions, chanting, meditations, time in nature and more, we’ll explore what it means to cultivate grace and gratitude in our everyday lives. Yoga practices will be a mix of slow flow, vinyasa and restorative. Experience deep renewal and inspiration as you:

deepen your understanding of yoga, beyond the mat
explore how the philosophical teachings can apply to your everyday life
enjoy slow flow and somatic practices to calm the nervous system
explore the theme of grace and gratitude and how you nurture these qualities in your daily life
deepen your practice through mantra and chanting
practice meditation in a supportive group setting
feel the healing power of nature as you enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Ratna Ling
nourish the body, enjoying delicious, organic, vegetarian cuisine — three meals daily, all-inclusive
cultivate and nurture community with others committed to health and inner awakening

In community with others committed to health and inner awakening, immerse yourself in learning that inspires your yoga practice and your life.
