Summer Weekend Retreat
Tend the heart
KALLA Calistoga • Calistoga, CA•Summer Weekend Retreat
June 13 & 14, 2026
Tending to the Heart in the season of fullness. In the height of summer, we are invited to open—to move, to feel, to connect.
This à la carte retreat allows you to choose the pace your heart desires: join for a single day, or fully immerse yourself in both.
Inspired by the summer season, this retreat is rooted in the Fire element of Chinese Medicine theory—the domain of the Heart, where joy, expression, and spirit come forward. Through Yoga and philosophy, we’ll explore how to work skillfully with this expansive energy, balancing vitality with grounding, rest, and care for the nervous system.
Each day offers a complete arc of practice through Soma, Psyche, and Spirit—movement, reflection, and restoration—set within the quiet beauty of Calistoga.
We begin with a steady morning practice to awaken the body, followed by a yoga philosophy workshop to guide inquiry and intention.
A seasonally inspired, organic lunch prepared by Chef Miguel, along with spacious, unstructured time, invites deeper unwinding—whether soaking in the warm pool, hot tub, or sauna, or receiving optional bodywork.
We will close the day with a nourishing evening practice.
Your Retreat Day Includes:
Morning Yoga Practice
A slow, intentional practice to awaken circulation, release tension, and reconnect with the body. Saturday will focus on opening our bodies through heart-opening postures and backbends. Sunday will focus on the theme of discernment with slow, intentional vinyasa and twists for refining and wringing out our bodies.
Philosophy + Guided Reflection
Thoughtfully woven teachings and space for inner inquiry, bridging ancient wisdom with your present life. Saturday will focus on a discussion and practice of Metta (Loving-Kindness) Meditation to cultivate compassion. Sunday will focus on Viveka (wise discernment) to support emotional boundaries and navigating clarity vs. confusion.
Seasonal, Chef-prepared Lunch
A nourishing meal designed to ground and restore
Time to Integrate + Unwind
Enjoy the pool, hot tub, or sauna, quiet moments in nature, or an optional massage—allowing the practice to settle
