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.

A fantastic place to participant in and host retreats!
I have been to Ratna Ling as a participant and two-time retreat facilitator. It is a fantastic place to participate and also host retreats! The setting is beautiful, the volunteer staff are kind, the food is healthy and delicious, and the yoga room is stunning. As a retreat facilitator, Ratna Ling makes it easy for you and handles the administrative parts so you can focus on what you do best. I look forward to hosting more retreats here in the future.
