Description
What could be better than 4 days of yoga, chanting, swimming and wine tasting? Join Sara for a long, relaxed weekend at the Ojai Eco Sanctuary where you will immerse yourself in Bhakti Vinyasa Yoga. Each morning will begin with a strong vinyasa class, followed by yin and restorative classes in the afternoon. There will be plenty of free time for hiking, swimming, unwinding in the jacuzzi and massage while the evenings will be filled with wine tasting from the organic winery and live music and chanting with Travis Eliot- a rare treat! Most of the food at the Eco- Sanctuary is organic and locally grown and prepared by our beloved chef Caspar Poyck. A weekend away with Sara is always a fresh balance of learning, unwinding, sweating and having fun! Jump in!
The retreat will include six asana classes as well as guided meditations and instruction on the practice of Bhakti yoga.  Sara will be joined by acclaimed musician, Travis Eliot who will provide live music and chanting for the weekend. All of this will be fueled by delicious, healthy vegetarian food and optional organic wine.
