Details of this retreat

Take a spring break with Martin Scott!

As we welcome the Springtime, we offer this weekend retreat as an opportunity to cultivate brightness through yoga, pranayama and meditation. We spend so much time expending our energy out into the world, and yoga allows us a chance to nourish ourselves - body, mind and soul.

Nestled in the serene beauty of the Sonoma coast, this 3-day spring yoga retreat offers an immersive escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Surrounded by nature’s pristine landscapes, you’ll find tranquility, quiet, and rejuvenation.

The weekend will include morning pranayama and meditations, asana classes and two yoga nidra sessions, all designed to ignite your light and creativity. We’ll embrace the elements of spring, using a combination of breathwork and movement to channel energy, create heat, and explore yoga. We’ll also explore the deep relaxation of yoga nidra and guided meditation. This weekend focuses on your connection to yourself, releasing deep-set tension and cultivating inner peace amidst the quiet stillness of Ratna Ling.

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.

Beautiful and Serene
The Ratna Ling retreat center is located in the woods along the spectacular No CA Coast. The cottages are deluxe with comfortable beds and seating, porches and kitchenettes. There is space there for escape, a personal retreat of whatever sort is needed. There are yoga and meditation sessions and thoughtful, tasty vegetarian meals. The folks that live and work there are friendly and accommodating. Can't say enough good things!

Beautiful setting for relaxing experience
Ratna Ling offers a gorgeous scenery among the redwoods and valleys to enjoy time to reset. Food is always flavourful and staff is very kind. My only concern was that I thought we were too many participants in the yoga room to feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place!
