About this trip

As the world reopens and we return to some kind of normal, it feels as though we are arriving on the other side of a strange journey. The once mundane and familiar now feels fresh and surprising. Things taken for granted, we now experience with new appreciation. I don’t think it’s an understatement to say that we all emerged from the past year changed in some pretty significant ways. 


Despite everything that happened, you are here. Whatever the future may bring, here you are.

Being fully present to this moment - this miraculous intersection where everything that came before meets everything that can happen next - this is what it means to LIVE. 


I am beyond excited to return to the beautiful Ratna Ling Retreat Center for a weekend of yoga, meditation, reflection and reconnection. Like coming home, we will gather together as a community and open our hearts to the life that is already here. 

I couldn’t ask for anything more. All are welcome. Come as you are.

Ratna Ling Retreat Center

Ratna Ling is located 90 miles north of San Francisco in the coastal redwoods of Sonoma County. This peaceful escape from city life offers luxury accommodations and organic vegetarian meals - all surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature. Guided by Tibetan Buddhist principles of wisdom, compassion and harmony, Ratna Ling creates a tranquil experience to support healing and spiritual well-being.

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.

what a nice day really great relaxed retreat can't wait to go 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.
