About this trip
A Yoga Retreat with Meg
breathing, mindfulness, and meditation
We all need a spiritual getaway for our minds to discover our peak potential and thrive. This spring, join me on a pilgrimage in the foothills of the serene California Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Gift yourself a 3-night, 4-day retreat at Vedanta Spiritual & Holistic Retreat Center, in California Hot Springs. Together we will practice Yoga: twice-a-day meditation, mindfulness, creative expression, for rest, deep relaxation, and healing. Enjoy family-style vegetarian meals, with the opportunity for a digital detox (no swiping) where you can recharge with nature and take part in a soulful renewal. Only 3 rooms are left!
Though we will be learning advanced Yoga techniques and philosophy, often not seen in fitness Yoga studios., no matter what your experience level, all are welcome here. We will offer peaceful comfort and ease to all, even if you have never meditated or tried yoga. Every planned activity is up to your discretion.
