With lifestyles becoming more hectic and stressful, we all need to take some time to get away, far from the hustle and bustle of city life, and relax. Yoga retreats by Body Flows are the perfect solution, offering a superb range of activities and exercises to improve both physical and mental conditioning. Body Flows is one of Sonoma County’s most precious gems and the perfect place to turn for yoga, massage, and more.
The Story of Body Flows
Body Flows was founded back in 2010 by Sally Mitchell, who wanted to share her passion and knowledge with a wider audience. Sally moved to the United States from Scotland at the turn of the millennium. Initially working in the technical sector, Sally enjoyed a highly successful professional life and was exceptionally active outside of work, even competing in the Boston Marathon and World Triathlon Championships.
However, as it inevitably does for so many people, the hectic lifestyle Sally had chosen began to take its toll. In order to regain control of her mind and body and recover a sense of peace and purpose in her life, she turned to yoga and meditation, going on to seek wellness education in order to share the inimitable benefits of yoga and relaxation techniques to people who need them. Thus, Body Flows was born and has swiftly developed into a leading name in the California yoga and wellness scene.
Body Flows Yoga Featured Retreats
Each year, the Body Flows calendar fills up with an exciting list of featured yoga retreats. Each retreat is different, offering a myriad of wonderful ways for you to relax and give your mind and body a little tender loving care. Retreats are held all through the year, particularly around special occasions like Thanksgiving, President's Day, and the Summer Solstice.
Many of the retreats are held in California at locations like Wilbur Hot Springs and Westerbeke Ranch, but others set off for foreign lands like the AHKi Retreat Center in Costa Rica, the Lumeria Retreat in Hawaii, or even a spell in the Scottish Highlands. Each retreat is customized with unique activities and experiences. In Scotland, for example, participants will be able to tour medieval castles and taste world class whiskeys, while those who head to Hawaii will be able to enjoy some soothing yoga sessions on sugary, white sand beaches.
