Program
To join this retreat, you do not have to be a skillful yoga practitioner. All levels are welcome, from beginners to advance. This retreat is a nurturing blend of Yin yoga, Vinyasa, gentle Hatha, and pranayama.
Begin each day hiking on one of the nearby picturesque trails. These guided hikes will explore some of the best unspoiled scenery in all of California. In the late afternoon, enjoy the yoga class followed by Restorative yoga postures that will leave you feeling grounded and at peace.
As you embark on your inward journey of renewal, you will feel a deeper sense of connectedness to oneself and the beautiful nature that surrounds the beautiful sanctuary.
Outdoor areas also provide ideal places for lounging, reading, journaling, or rejuvenating with a refreshing afternoon nap. Relax in their reflection garden, by the healing saline pool, or bask in the warm hot tub.
Nicole Currie and Tony Khalife bring to Sagrada a truly holistic, spiritual integration of yoga, music, and ceremony. The weekend begins with the setting of intention and inviting clarity into the practice.
As the weekend unfolds, you are guided to move joyfully and powerfully towards realizing these resolutions and expansions of your authentic self through yoga, meditation, and sacred ceremony. You will return home feeling clear, vibrant, centered, and rejuvenated on all levels; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
It is with honor and gratitude to welcome you to this upcoming sacred retreat. You are invited to find your seat at their table and become a member of the Sagrada (sacred) family.
During the entirety of your journey together, you are held in a safe, energetic container that facilitates personal connection to deepening the transformative practices of yoga, which is simply connection to the whole of life-uniting body, mind, spirit of nature, delicious nourishing food, and community.
