4-Day Yoga Retreat: Relax, Reflect and Rejuvenate

Thursday, Aug. 13, 5:00 pm – Sunday, Aug. 16, 12:00 pm.

In person at Commonweal Retreat Center, Bolinas, CA

This in-person 4-day retreat will include a variety of Yoga classes for all levels of practice, workshops, meditations, inspirational evening programs—including kirtan with Astrud—healthy vegetarian meals, and free time for walks, resting, or reading. Each day will also include Yoga Nidra practices to support deep rest and nervous system renewal. We will practice silent, walking and guided meditations as well as an end-of-day personal reflection practice to integrate the day’s teachings and insights and help us move more deeply into awareness.

We will observe silence from Thursday night until Sunday morning. In this spacious quiet, we can strengthen our inner connection to peace, find clarity of thought, and cultivate compassionate connection with one another.

We are blessed once again to gather at the Commonweal Retreat Center in Bolinas, known for the natural beauty of its oceanside setting and its location on sacred Native American land. Practicing Yoga in this powerful natural environment offers an opportunity to cleanse the body and mind of the stimulants and toxins we ingest through the mouth, eyes, and ears, and to renew our personal commitment to live courageously in the light of awareness.

Testimonial:

“I had the opportunity to spend the month of February, 2025, in the Residential Program at the SFIYI. My goal was a personal retreat time to revitalize my Integral Yoga path, especially meditation practice. That goal was exceeded on the first day! Living in a Conscious, loving environment was extraordinary and unexpected; my whole being was uplifted, and I felt safe, whole and happy the entire month. The staff welcomed me with open arms, and local members of the sangha who visited the institute were equally loving. Group meditations were held four times a day and a variety of Hatha classes were offered in person and on line everyday.

The IYI is located in a beautiful neighborhood in San Francisco. Grocery stores, shops, and local parks all within walking distance. The hills and steps of San Francisco provided me with great exercise. I think I was the healthiest I have ever been while living the yogic lifestyle with others who modeled and supported that, walking everyday in the California sun, and enjoying the unique character and sights of San Francisco!” –Sue Parks, VA, 2025
