Best Places to Practice Yoga in Sonoma County

Imagine how amazing you’d feel with a bit of healthy yoga included in your next visit to Sonoma Wine Country. Greet the morning on a coastal bluff with a Sun Salutation pose, stretch in the stillness of a redwood forest, and take a mindful walk through nature.

Here are some of the most memorable places to practice yoga in Sonoma County, from vineyards to beaches and everything in between.

Body Flows, Sonoma County

Against the backdrop of the beautiful Sonoma County landscape, customize a memorable experience for you, a couples getaway, a bridal shower, a corporate team, or other groups. Day or multi-day retreats can be tailored to suit a wide range of levels and include any combination of gourmet meals, wine tasting, massage, nature walks, hikes, yoga, meditation, and other activities that foster rejuvenation and creativity.

Memorable experiences are hosted in Sonoma County at beautiful, relaxing centers such as Westerbeke Ranch and Wildwood Retreat Center.

Ratna Ling Retreat Center, Cazadero 

Ratna Ling Retreat Center offers meditation and/or yoga classes in Cazadero, a tiny hamlet tucked into redwood forested hills. Experience the peace and beauty of nature at its best, whether you come on your own or join one of the wonderful organized retreats that take place throughout the year. Stay in a private or shared luxury cottage, take meditation and/or yoga classes, enjoy three organic farm-to-table vegetarian meals daily, and relax in the serene natural surroundings.

Paddleboard Yoga by Rubicon Adventures, Forestville

Connect with nature by doing yoga on a stand-up paddleboard on the serene Russian River. Rubicon Adventures provides the instruction and equipment for beginners and experienced — just bring sunscreen and water for this unique experience on one of Sonoma County’s most scenic waterways.

Yoga Hikes at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, Kenwood

Susan Topf’s Yoga Hike balances a mix of easy hiking and gentle yoga postures, breath work, and guided meditation with no mat necessary. The route winds through the beautiful landscape of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in Kenwood. The trail suits all of Sonoma County’s mild seasons and weather, typically covering two to three miles of varied terrain for various levels and abilities.

Yoga at Bricoleur Vineyards, Windsor

Bricoleur Vineyards offers outdoor yoga experiences on Friday evenings and Sunday mornings. What better way to decompress and unwind from a long week than a yoga class overlooking grape vines, followed by a glass of wine? A yoga teacher leads this healthy, all-level yoga class in the winery estate’s beautiful outdoor pavilion. Bricoleur can also customize a yoga and wine event for your vacation or company retreat.
