KALLA Calistoga • Calistoga, CA•

January 10 & 11, 2026


Escape into two days designed to reconnect you with yourself — softly, spaciously, and with a feeling of being supported. This à la carte retreat allows you to choose the pace your heart desires: participate for a SINGLE day, or fully immerse yourself in BOTH.

Each day unfolds as a gentle arc of practice and rest — a space for you to slow down and reconnect with yourself. We will start with a steady morning flow to gently awaken our bodies, followed by a yoga philosophy workshop to set our intentions. 


A seasonally inspired, organic lunch, prepared by Chef Miguel, and long stretches of unstructured time allow you to unwind even more. Lounge between the warm pool and the hot tub; explore the grounds; or opt for a massage. The pace is slow, steady, and refreshing.


We will gather for an evening ritual rooted in ‘The Slow Down’ — a Satya & Restorative Yoga practice complemented by massage from Rebecca Eberhardt's healing hands. Drawing from Chinese Medicine’s seasonal wisdom, expect deep exhales, supported postures, and healing touch.

AIRPORT: Getting to KALLA from SFO

The drive from San Francisco International Airport to 3870 Mountain Home Ranch Road, Calistoga takes about 1 hour 45 minutes–2 hours and is a beautiful journey into Napa Valley.

From SFO, head north on US-101, continue over the Bay Bridge onto I-80 East, then connect to CA-37 West toward Napa/Sonoma. Follow CA-29 North through Napa, Yountville, St. Helena, and into Calistoga.

In Calistoga, continue onto Foothill Blvd (CA-128) and turn right onto Mountain Home Ranch Road. Follow the road for roughly 4 miles as it winds gently into the hills. The property will be on your left.

Tip: Cell service can be spotty on Mountain Home Ranch Road—load your map before you start the ascent and enjoy the peaceful drive through redwoods and open valley views.
