Yoga and Breathwork by the Ocean
The flow of each day balances yoga practice with time to rest, reflect, and connect. Morning yoga energizes and centers, while afternoons and evenings lean toward slower practices, meditation, and restorative sessions. Breathwork is woven into this rhythm, supporting clarity and deeper awareness.
Participants will also have the chance to gather for a sunrise sauna ritual by the beach, explore Spirit Camp’s trails and meadows, and share nourishing meals prepared by Simone’s Kitchen. Together, these elements create a Northern California yoga retreat that honors both movement and stillness.
The Value of Conscious Breathing
Breathwork is a simple yet powerful tool for presence. By slowing and deepening the breath, participants often notice stress ease, clarity return, and energy renew.
When paired with yoga, breathwork becomes a bridge—connecting body and mind more fully. It enhances poses, deepens meditation, and supports relaxation. In this yoga and breathwork weekend, participants are guided gently, with sessions designed for accessibility and comfort, not intensity.
