COVID POLICY: For your safety and ours, we require proof of vaccination AND negative test result from all visitors to Ratna Ling Retreat Center. We wish to provide peace of mind for all of our residents and guests.
We welcome back Master Teacher Bex Urban for a special yoga retreat at Ratna Ling! This is an opportunity to practice peace with yoga poses and intentionally pause with meditation.

Take this mindful "time out” and step away from the distractions of your daily life to re-initiate yourself into more stillness.  Let nature, movement and slowness re-calibrate you. This weekend retreat is a dedicated time for you to reroute and ground in goodness. Life can feel overwhelming and now is a wonderful time to refuel yourself with the magic of meditation, asana and community.

If you are interested in further developing your yoga  practice, or just craving time away to reflect and recenter, this retreat is aligned for you.

The guided weekend is a chance to renew, realign and rejuvenate you. The weekend includes special yoga sequences (with great playlists), time in nature, comfy lodgings and prepared nourishing food.

Dynamic yoga flow practices, guided meditations and inspirational dharma talks.

This luxurious weekend includes 4 yoga sessions, morning guided meditations, and evening gatherings.

Beautiful/Restful
Even though it was overcast, drizzly the weekend was perfect. The "cabin" (truly a house) was warm, clean and everything in it was aesthetically perfect. The furnishings, the linen, etc all comfortable and cosy for a rainy weekend. The food was amazing. Vegetarian with vegan options. We attended 2 meditation sessions and our guide was genuine and very helpful. I hope to go back in the near future. Read More

Wonderful
Rarely do the pictures in the ads match the reality of the location. In the case of Ratna Ling, the facility is more magnificent than the pictures. From the grounds, room, and retreat center, everything was beautiful. The staff was graceful and ever-present. As a non-vegetarian, I was skeptical that I would enjoy the food. But the food was plentiful and delicious. Thanks for a great retreat. Read More

Nikki Estrada Yoga Retreat
This land holds so much love and is exquisitely tended to. I woke up in the morning with joy in my heart to have landed there. The cabins are well appointed with gorgeous natural woods. I loved sitting by the fireplace in the morning with my hot tea looking out over the redwood studded hills.
Nikki is a seasoned teacher. She teaches with much clarity and precision. Savasana was a dream on heated floors.
The food was well balanced cooked with love. The staff was very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back and shared ratna Ling‘s website with many of my friends. I highly recommend this place. Read More
