Itinerary

Acupressure & Yin
Heart opening class

KC will lead a class on integrating the healing arts of acupressure and yoga.  Learn self care acupressure to connect your hands to your heart.  Rest in heart centered yin yoga poses for self love and compassion.


This class will be based on the FIRE ELEMENT.  KC teaches through the lens of Chinese Medicine.  This is the theory that everything in nature is also within each of us, because we are a part of nature.  


The FIRE ELEMENT is about connecting to your heart, your energy, your passions for life.  What wisdom from your heart lights ups your eyes?  How can your hands be a reflection of your heart?  


Special attention will be given to offer you a creative space for expression of your heart and hands to set you up for drumming!

Hey there! I’m KC of AcuYogini. I teach yoga and do bodywork to empower people. I believe the world needs more people that are confident and compassionate. That is why my yoga classes are accessible for everyone: they are about how the form arises from you…from the inside out, rather than imposing a form from the outside in. Yes, you’ll learn alignment…and you’ll learn how to flow through your yoga in an organic, fluid, way to discover your inner teacher! Learn more about me and my work at: https://www.acuyogini.com/

KC's Yin retreat was just perfect! I met so many lovely women and ate the most delicious food all weekend. Between the yin, journaling, the sound bath, yoga nidra, drumming, and simply being in a beautiful setting with like minded individuals, I felt more relaxed than I have in a long, long time. Everything about this trip was magical. So much thought and care went into every detail. Every activity flowed beautifully into the next and I will be coming back every year going forward! Absolutely wonderful! Thank you, KC and friends for creating such a restful experience!

This retreat exceeded all of my expectations. The Yin Yoga, drum circle!, sound healing, and Yoga Nidra blew my mind. Everything was five-star stellar. The food menu was to die for as they catered to everyone’s needs: vegan, meat eaters, gluten free, nothing was missed by the caterers. My heart was so full of joy. ~Bridget Q. Folsom, CA

The retreat was so relaxing and truly special. The use of indoor and outdoor spaces was enjoyable. Being in the middle of nature enhanced the experience. The sense of self-connection encouraged through the yin, yoga nidra, relaxation, sound healing, and drumming circle was unique. The meals were fantastic, fresh, and always available for all eating styles. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone who needs to slow down, unplug, and go inward. Thank you, KC!

I enjoyed this retreat so much and I can't wait for the full weekend one in 2023. Food by Miele was included- delicious! You can taste the love she puts into her cooking. KC's yoga is so gentle! I always love her yoga classes. I loved learning more acupressure points. I would have never taken a drumming class had it not been for this retreat. I ended up enjoying it immensely. I think I'll take more drumming classes in retirement. :-)
