A yoga retreat is accessible to people of all levels of expertise. There may not be a better way to introduce oneself to this mind and body discipline than by spending a weekend in California’s natural surroundings with knowledgeable teachers.
It takes work to prioritize wellness and self-care when there are so many demands on our time. Regular yoga practice works wonders for our bodies and minds, but sometimes we need a weekend to cleanse, reset, and re-center.
Why settle in Los Angeles? In addition to the first Western retreat, California is also home to more earthy retreats with an Eastern flavor. Because of the range of options available, you may choose the activity that best suits your taste and level of comfort. Eastern retreats emphasize practice, meditation, and serenity and have purposefully simple lodgings.
Petit Ermitage
Petit Ermitage in West Hollywood is a luxurious place to stay, with large apartments furnished with original artwork and antique accents. Suite amenities include distinctive, handcrafted mattresses topped with Egyptian cotton sheets to ensure a restful night’s sleep. The fire deck hosts daily yoga classes. The rooftop has a heated saltwater swimming pool with lounge chairs and private cabanas for you to make the most of your leisure.
Sagrada Wellness
Sagrada Wellness, located 50 minutes north of Santa Maria, California, is one of the few sites on our list focusing nearly only on yoga retreats, so it’s worth adding to your bookmarks. With bookings being accepted as far out as October 2023, you have plenty of time to arrange a multi-day digital detox at Sagrada, despite the hectic pace of contemporary life. Book your health vacation in advance and save money instead of scrambling to take advantage of the “one retreat per year” offered by some other places.
Terranea
Luxury awaits at Southern California’s Terranea Resort, a tranquil oasis in the city’s heart. Rooms, suites, bungalows, casitas, and villas are available at this coastal hotel. It’s a great place to take the kids since there are so many things to do there, including kayaking, paddle boarding, art classes, and guided treks into the wilderness.
In addition to its four oceanfront swimming pools, this resort is home to a world-class spa and wellness center. Free daily activities include guided coastal nature walks, bicycle tours, and yoga classes overlooking the ocean.
Treebones Resort
There is no doubt in our minds that the Treebones Resort is the finest location in California for a yoga retreat. This little resort on the brink of Big Sur’s cliffs provides an off-the-grid, first-rate ‘glamping’ experience with unique accommodations, including yurts, autonomous tents, and something dubbed the “Human Nest,” which looks exactly like what you’re envisioning right now.
Every day save Thursday, you may find a 50- to 90-minute yoga session on the covered, panoramic outdoor platform or in the Red Door fireplace studio. Bookmark their retreat page if you’re interested in attending one of their multi-day retreats. The last one was in December of 2021, and whenever they advertise the 2022 retreat, it will sell out quickly.
Holistic Wellness Retreats Santa Barbara California
In Santa Barbara, you may find a New Year’s Renewal Retreat that is anything from typical: a 4–6 day luxury mental wellness retreat. A slow and easy rhythm that leaves plenty of room for rest and rejuvenation throughout the day. We will adjust the schedule to fit your needs, so you may get plenty of rest and eat on your own time if that’s what you want.
Whether it’s to combat burnout, improve inner peace and pleasure, treat physical ailments, reduce excess weight, or recharge, these activities may positively affect your mind and body. The schedule’s natural rhythm allows for enough downtime for contemplation and rest, ensuring that participants return home feeling refreshed and armed with new strategies for dealing with stress and finding pleasure in everyday life. You have finally made it to Santa Barbara’s world-famous Ritz-Carlton Bacara. Walk along the clifftop walkway and take in the sea air and picture-perfect ocean views.
During the pre-retreat phone calls, we got to know a little bit about you, but during the welcome reception, you’ll get to meet your Concierge Wellness Team, and we’ll discover even more about you. Explore the resort’s verdant grounds and stop by the award-winning spa for some treatments and the use of the steam room, sauna, and relaxation lounge. You’ll feel compelled to stay there for the rest of the week.
During your one-on-one sessions with each expert, you’ll discover the source of your self-defeating behaviours and attitudes and how to eliminate them in favour of more productive approaches in the new year.
Choose what choices you have while trying to find the ideal yoga retreat. There is no limit to how you may deepen and broaden your yoga practice, thanks to the variety of yoga traditions you can choose from. These courses are excellent for calming the mind, uniting the body and the soul, and discovering one’s true identity.
