Ojai Yoga Retreat with Geri Portnoy

Step into the flow of nature with Geri for a beautiful weekend of yoga, meditation, reflection, hiking, great food, rest and relaxation.

We’ll be staying in Ojai in a beautiful historic craftsman home designed by visionary architects Greene & Greene. This home is listed in the National Registrar of Historic places, and according to Architectural Digest, “a closer approximation to Shangri-La is hard to imagine.” There are spectacular views of the mountains and valleys, beautiful organic gardens and citrus groves, swimming pool and jacuzzi, over 50 acres of wilderness for exploring and hiking, and gorgeous accommodations. The yoga practice area is extraordinarily beautiful and built to complement the graciousness of the setting. This weekend offers the perfect setting to unwind, reconnect with nature and go deeper into your yoga practice. Treat yourself, or bring a friend and experience the beauty and grace of this peaceful sanctuary.

The weekend includes sunrise meditation, morning and evening yoga practices and plenty of time for relaxation.
