De-stress upon arrival; with feet on earth, connect to the nature’s rhythms, inside & out. Experience expertly curated Restorative Yoga, Movement, Sound and Forest Bathing Workshops.
On this retreat you will nourish the feilds of your Body, Energy, Mind, Emotions and Spirit bringing you into an alignment that restores ease and flow in the life.
Join us at Vedanta this spring season for a deep physical, mental, emotional and spiritual re-alignment. Our property is nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on 240 acres of private, pristine and pure land that helps co-create a gorgeous and healing experience while on retreat.
From the moment you arrive you will begin a process of de-stressing by placing your feet on the earth, becoming aware of the wind on your body, the sun on your face and the song of the river and birds in your ears. Each moment is intentional and curated to harness the emotional healing balm that is the true experience of the moment.
Our retreat is designed for those seeking to re-connect with or deepen the connection to themselves while expanding their understanding of the body’s subtle life-force.
Expertly crafted workshops will enrich your journey as you are guided into embodiment and a deep healing of your nervous system. You will experience a weaving of both the ancient Yogic sciences as well as modern adaptations helping you to co-create an energetic balance in your personal journey through a challenging world.
Each day we will connect with ourselves both inside our Yoga Temple, as well as outside on the land, flowing more deeply into the calm and ease that is our inherent state. We will purify our bodies and minds through the many modalities offered in the Holistic System of Yoga: Restorative Yoga/Gentle Asana, Breathwork/Pranayama, Meditation/Yoga Nidra as well as daily Forest Bathing and Sound Bathing to accompany this journey of restoration that is so desperately needed in this time.
Your choice to take a pause in this pristine nature and to join this thoughtful program will have a soothing effect lasting far beyond the weekend. Nurture yourself this spring as you gift yourself the space and time for this Personal Renewal Retreat.
