Renewal: A midwinter retreat
With DeAnn Barry
January 30 - February 1, 2026
Start your year with both enthusiasm and relaxation! With the sacred shapes of yin yoga and the tranquil heat of vinyasa, this weekend retreat offers a container of renewal and strength.
Nestled in the majestic redwoods of Sonoma County, welcome your creative life force and the promise of spring. Join DeAnn to call in the next cycle that is offered at the seasonal juncture of Imbolc (mid winter). We will move through surya namaskar (sun salutations) building heat and tapas (devotion), rest and reset with yin sequences to support harmonious and balanced flow of energy.
Our practices will also include pranayama (breathwork), and dhyana (contemplation/meditation), rituals for spring and guided yoga nidra journey with sound attunement.
This weekend includes:
-Yoga asana & vinyasa krama (dynamic movement)
-Yin yoga & energy flow (deep stretches)
-Guided Yoga Nidra (relaxation)
-Sound attunement
-Ritual & ceremony
-Pranayama (breathwork)
-Dhyana (contemplation/meditation)
Our time together invites you to slow down and connect deeply into your own heart. Using the cycles of the seasons as your guide, this weekend retreat will renew your vital energy while fortifying your being on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.
