Fall Yoga, Meditation & Pranayama Retreat
Join Koren for four days of rejuvenating and transformational Iyengar yoga, meditation, pranayama, and sutra studies. Our retreat center, Cactus Moon, is a two-hour drive from Los Angeles near Joshua Tree National Park. If you’re flying in, you can use either the Palm Springs (closer) or the Ontario/San Bernardino airport.
The retreat center is a mid-century modern paradise, with each room uniquely decorated and named. Additionally, there is an outdoor salt water soaking pool for relaxation. Please note that there is only one selection of each room; however, a room can be shared by two or three people. For a more affordable option, there is space to set up two tents or sleep in the yoga room.
There will be ample time to explore the walking trails directly from the property or head over to Black Rock Nature Center. It’s a half-mile walk into hipster downtown Yucca Valley, featuring boutiques, vintage clothing, household treasures, and a record store.
During the retreat, you will enjoy elegant accommodations and dine on delicious vegetarian cuisine. There is an outdoor gas grill for use, and you’re welcome to bring protein.
Sign up now to progress your yoga practice and revitalize yourself with this perfect fall retreat getaway.
