Our retreat guests soaked in an unforgettable day, starting with peaceful morning yoga by the river, followed by a scenic hike and paddle at Saguaro Lake 🌵. The adventure continued with a visit to Goldfield Ghost Town, a thrilling desert Jeep tour, horseback riding, and incredible from-scratch meals. Just another perfect day at the ranch!

Hi everyone!
I just had a last minute cancellation for the Saguaro 🌵 SUP Experience April 12-17.

Stay and play on the lower banks of the Salt River at a historic guest ranch in Mesa, AZ. Launch your SUP from the ranch and float through majestic canyon walls and abundant wildlife. The wild horses are the highlight of our trip down the Salt. After a day of paddling enjoy panoramic views of Bulldog cliffs from your private cabin. Private hiking trails, a pool and horse stables are also on the property. Relax and unwind, all meals, SUPs and yoga mats are included!

Join me tomorrow at the Three Rivers Yoga Festival for Yin and Aromatics.

Immerse yourself in a sensory journey of stillness and surrender. This Yin yoga class invites you to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your inner calm as you move through long-held, floor-based postures enhanced by the healing powers of aromatherapy. Each pose is paired with a carefully chosen essential oil blend to complement its energetic and emotional effects, creating a sensory experience that soothes your body, mind, and spirit.
