The Inn At Newport Ranch
The serene environment of The Inn at Newport Ranch serves as the perfect setting for mindfulness practices as we immerse ourselves in the experiences of yoga, meditation, and tea ceremony during our tranquil 3-night retreat from July 28 to 31.
The concept of "Soma" has rich meanings; in Greek, it represents 'the body living in its wholeness,' while in various ancient traditions, it symbolizes a sacred drink that nourishes the spirit. In our Yoga + Tea retreat, we will explore our inner landscapes, building a sense of wholeness within this beautiful natural environment through meditation, somatic movement, and yoga.
Under the guidance of Leia Layus, we will engage in meditation and movement practices, supported by Eastern philosophy, designed to harmonize our receptivity and stability as we savor the peak of summer. To ease our way into the day, she will begin each morning with meditation and a late morning yoga session to gently awaken and energize our bodies. We will dedicate our evenings to somatic practices (SATYA yoga & restorative yoga), which provide a grounding experience that enhances our mind-body connection and promotes relaxation.
Morgann Francesca will offer a tea ceremony each day. The offering of 'bowl tea' is the essence of simplicity and meditation. Through this mindful practice, we will share tea in silence, allowing us to cultivate inner harmony and presence. At the end of each session, there will be opportunities for dialogue, reflection, and questions, creating a supportive community environment.
