REST AND REFRESH:
A Weekend Yoga Retreat
on the Kern River
Sept 4 - 6, 2026

Celebrate the end of summer with a long weekend devoted to movement, laughter, and letting go. Nestled along the Kern River and surrounded by sun-washed hills, our riverside retreat invites you to slow down, soak up nature, and reconnect with what matters most.

Each day will blend gentle and playful yoga practices with time to simply enjoy life outdoors, from river rafting and olive oil tasting to lounging with friends or stargazing by the fire. You’ll be treated to nourishing meals, cozy accommodations, and the simple joy of being near water, under open skies.

Between adventures, we’ll pause for reflection and restoration, journaling, mindful moments, and meaningful conversation that help you return home lighter, brighter, and refreshed.

Whether you come to flow, to float, or to just breathe deeply, this weekend is a chance to remember how good it feels to rest, to laugh, and to let yourself drift with the current.

Join Kara & Erin for our Rest & Refresh Weekend Retreat at the beautiful Rio Bravo Ranch, nestled along the banks of the Kern River at the base of the Tehachapi Mountains, just outside Bakersfield, California.
