October Breathwork Retreat

Little Yosemite Lodge, Cascadel Woods, North Fork, CA 93643

Nestled along Hoyau Creek, the earthlands of Little Yosemite Lodge are both powerful and breathtaking. This sacred landscape has drawn humans for thousands of years—an ancient place of healing, connection, and deep stillness that naturally invites restoration.

Join us for 4 nights in the Sierra Forest of California, living together in community and immersed in the vast wilderness of the Sierra Mountains. As the days unfold, the land reveals increasing beauty, quiet, and clarity—creating the ideal environment for relaxation, presence, integration and renewal.

This intimate retreat offers 4 full daily group breathwork sessions and also meditation practices, balanced with ample free time for hiking, fun, self-care, being creative, integration, and rest. Optional world class acupuncture and massage sessions will be available with select practitioners in our forest campus. You can walk 5 minutes to your appointment!(advanced booking required; please contact Neika for practitioners contact information.)

The $795 all-inclusive tuition is based on double occupancy and shared bathrooms. Optional private vintage airstreams are available and sleep 2 people. (Add $330 for private housing)

• Four group breathwork sessions total
• Daily group meditation and daily breath exercises you take home
• Vegetarian meals prepared under the direction of an award-winning chef
• Accommodations and full retreat programming

The environment is designed to nourish your body, calm your mind, and reconnect you with you true nature: your soul’s calling and purpose. You have the opportunity to experience the complete relaxation of your central nervous system.

Limited to 8 participants.
