Wonderful Yoga retreat in Mendocino
I just got back from co-teaching a Yoga in Balance retreat in Philo (Mendocino County) with Kristen Walker, a yoga teacher in Philo. The retreat was at Wellspring Renewal Center, which is in a beautiful location on the Navarro River. Their garden was gorgeous, full of flowers blooming, bees buzzing and lots of fruit and vegetables ripening.
Beautiful spot on the Navarro River
We taught a combination of gentle and more active poses, focusing on healthy spinal alignment at the core of every pose. I made sure to include poses and stretches for opening the shoulders and releasing neck tension. The food was great and the sun came out on Sunday for a beautiful day!
Kristen and I both completed the Balance Center’s teacher training program and we also went through the Yoga Room’s 3-year Advanced Studies Program together. So we both approach our teaching from the same background. Unfortunately, Wellspring will be closing in November, so we’ll be looking for another spot for the next one. Stay tuned…
