Spring Renewal Yoga Retreat

with Sarah Bell

In Santa Margarita, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast California

March 20 - 23, 2025

“in Just-spring” as E.E. Cummings wrote, “when the world is mud luscious and puddle wonderful”… is a perfect time to retreat from the city and savor the country.

Join Sarah Bell at Sagrada Wellness for the weekend leading up to the Spring equinox.

Spend your precious time practicing yoga, hiking, and relaxing thoroughly. Treat yourself to nourishing, colorful, delicious homemade vegetarian meals. Sit leisurely with a cup of specially crafted (just for us) chai while you write in your journal or finish the book you've wanted to read all winter. Soak in the hot tub amidst the eucalyptus trees. Sleep in sweet, rustic (private or shared) accommodations with super comfy linens. Make space for yourself to savor quietude and practice contemplative joy. You will leave replenished, balanced, and renewed.

Balance and harmony will be restored with rejuvenating yoga, time spent in nature, mind + heart opening meditation and expanding breath awareness. Communal meal sharing and conscious eating practices offer time to reflect and share with new friends. Contemplative periods of silence are built into our retreat to quiet the mind, settle the emotions, decompress the nervous system, heighten the senses and increase clarity and connection to source energy.  With this retreat, we offer you an opportunity to hit the reset button by:

• nurturing your body with healing yoga sessions
