About this trip

Join me for a daylong retreat as we explore what it means to wake up to our lives and open to the spacious present moment that is always right here. Through the transformative practices of yoga, breathwork and meditation, we strengthen our capacity to calm and settle the mind, seeing ourselves and the world with more clarity and compassion. We invite mindful awareness - while moving in flow, while sitting in silence, while eating and walking and talking - as a way to fully experience and engage with life itself. 


The setting for our journey of awakening is the beautiful Green Gulch Farm & Zen Center in Marin Country. Our day together will include: an enlivening movement & breath practice in the morning; a nourishing vegetarian lunch; a hike to Muir Beach with time to explore; a dharma talk and meditation; ending with a deeply restoring yoga nidra session. 

LOCATION

Just a short drive north of San Francisco in Marin County, Green Gulch Farm & Zen Center is tucked into a valley that opens out onto the Pacific Ocean. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of National Parkland, the property's thriving organic farm, flourishing gardens and traditional Japanese architecture provide a serene environment for peaceful contemplation.

Yvonne, E-RYT500, is deeply committed to living wholeheartedly and sharing the timeless teachings of yoga. She approaches the practice from a holistic perspective – weaving together mindful movement, breathwork, meditation and philosophy – and encourages each person to discover their own path to clarity, steadiness and ease. For Yvonne, all of life is practice. How we relate to our inner world shapes the way we move through the outer world. Every moment is an opportunity to meet ourselves in the moment, to breathe and begin again.

Amazing getaway! All of Yvonne's careful planning, along with a beautiful setting and an awesome group of people made for a very special day. This is not to be missed. Yvonne worked very hard to make the yoga flow dynamic, yet approachable for the morning class and skillfully she re-energized us for the late afternoon class with some fast exercises in order to lead into a long and luxurious savasana. A great time was had by all. Thank you, Yvonne and look forward to coming back!

Beyond a pathway to presence, this retreat was an invitation to unfurl into our truest ways of being—in the company of a beautiful group of yogis (fellow Yvonne Kingsely fans, of course) and solo as desired. Prana Del Mar was the perfect environment for each of us to strike the balance that felt most restorative. The staff was incredibly warm, the rooms clean and comfortable, and the excursions well organized. What a way to a priceless way unplug fully.

Just an incredible experience. Prana del Mar is a magical place that puts you out in nature, fills your belly with delicious food, and fosters kindness and community. More than anything, though, I have to give gratitude to Yvonne and the great community of people she attracts -- the classes were fantastic, spaces of strength, quiet, and joy, and I feel so lucky to have had this experience.
