Living Yoga Retreat
The Pancha Mahabhutas in Practice
June 17-20, 2021
Bell Valley Retreat
The Pancha Mahabhutas, or five "great elements" weave together and inform our experience as living, breathing, feeling, beings from the perspective that we are each a microcosm of the world aorund us. The five Mahabhutas are Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. During this retreat, we will explore how each of these elements arise in our bodies, our practice, and our lives on and off the mat, adding depth, understanding, and connection to the timelessness of yoga as a living practice that enriches our lives.

Join Amy for four days/three nights at beautiful Bell Valley Retreat located near Boonville, just 2.5 hours from Davis. During the retreat, we will have exclusive access to the property including 650 acres of rolling oak woodlands with 6 miles of hiking trails, hot tub, and a variety of accommodations and gathering spaces.
​
Given the COVID-19 pandemic our retreat will look and feel a little different this year. Specifically, all yoga classes will be outside beneath an event tent, and all meals will be prepared in the outdoor kitchen (at the back of the Barn, by Chef Daniella again :) ), and enjoyed outside. Bell Valley is spacious and well equiped to accomodate social distancing with private accomodations and many outdoor spaces to gather, hike, and enjoy nature.
The retreat experience will include:
​​
-
Multiple yoga asana sessions per day
-
Morning & evening meditation​
-
Free time for self-reflection, hiking, or connecting with others
-
Nourishing, organic meals by Chef Daniella (gluten-free & plant-based options!)
All levels of yoga experience are welcome! Our retreat will begin at 4pm on Thursday, June 17th and conclude at 1pm on Sunday, June 20th.
