IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE ART OF YOGA!

at Mount Madonna, California

Living yoga retreat

An annual springtime gathering

Embark on a transformative journey where the essence of experiential learning is woven into the fabric of each day. Immerse yourself in the art of Yoga through practices that go beyond the mat. This yoga retreat offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of Yoga through practical, real-life experiences that balance science and spirituality.

Asana, the Sanskrit word meaning “seat” or “posture,” refers to the various poses designed by ancient yogis to bring health and vitality to the body and mind, and to strengthen and relax the body for meditation. This retreat generally offers a variety of daily asana classes, and a choice of different styles and teachers. All classes are led by highly experienced yoga practitioners.

From mindful meditation sessions at sunrise to communal dinners fostering a sense of unity, the Living Spring Yoga Retreat transcends the conventional, providing a holistic approach to Yoga that extends far beyond the asana mat.

The Living Yoga Retreat takes place in Northern California and is conveniently close to Silicon Valley, Santa Cruz, Monterey, and the Bay Area. With stunning views of Monterey Bay, it features hundreds of miles of hiking trails winding through serene meadows and majestic redwood forests.
