Hello Dear One~ 

I'm thrilled to learn you're considering joining me on a weekend retreat to the beautiful Land of the Medicine Buddha located in the Santa Cruz Redwoods. 

If we haven't met, I am San Francisco based Vinyasa yoga teacher and owner of a light-filled community yoga studio- The Pad Studios.  Join me on this incredible weekend retreat as we immerse ourselves in a remarkable opportunity to receive the nourishing benefits of yoga, meditation, sound, and beautiful meals in the pristine Redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Nicole Cronin has studied with many teachers across a handful of lineages. She began her yoga journey in 2008 practicing a style of Ashtanga yoga- called Rocket yoga. She then was trained in Hatha, Vinyasa, Slow Flow, Yin & Restorative and completed her 500 Hr with Janet Stone Yoga. Nicole is known for her intuitive, precise and thoughtful sequencing and approachable, compassionate and light-hearted themes grounded in the 8 Limbs of Yoga.  

Santa Cruz, CA is Nicole's hometown and it brings her so much joy to welcome guests to a location so near and dear to her heart.

The Land of The Medicine Buddha (LMB) is a Buddhist retreat center in Santa Cruz, CA set on 108 acres of magical redwood forest amongst the coastal foothills with crisp, fresh ocean and mountain air. 

This weekend yoga retreat is for those who love to explore, adventure, practice yoga, move into stillness, connect and disconnect (from technology:)!!

The Land of the Medicine Buddha has a pool and a sauna as well…we will enjoy our time on this beautiful land no matter what the weather holds for us!  Lastly, some of Nicole's favorite beaches (New Brighton) & restaurants are just 10 minutes away from the retreat center.
