channel islands beach, ca
september 25-28, 2025
for the: california girl
It’s a lighthearted girl’s weekend, balanced with movement, nourishment, and rest. Somewhere between Malibu and Ventura is one of our favorite California escapes: Channel Islands Beach. This will be our third retreat here - we just can’t resist the wide, sandy beaches, island views, idyllic marina, and the cutest beach lodge we have ever seen. It’s a no-frills kinda yoga weekend. Just sweet, simple, and picture-perfect.
RETREAT INTENTION: playfulness
PRIMARY CHAKRAS: sacral
NATURAL ELEMENT/QUALITY: water
three (3) nights accommodation
You may recognize our retreat space, as it’s quite famous for its vibrant design. This colorful backdrop is all ours for a restful and easy stay-cation. Just steps to the beach, come and go as you please on your down time. (There are enough bikes for everyone to go on an adventure, too). Or enjoy the island views from the balcony. Bring a book and bathing suit and soak in the best of Local Summer.
seven (7) plant-based meals
Sit back and let yourself be completely taken care for the weekend. Colorful, plant-based meals will fuel our very active days.
Two (2) hours of beach yoga daily
Beach yoga is so California. We will carve out time to salute the sun every morning before breakfast. We’ll find joy through a well-balanced Hatha practice. And we will laugh our way through workshops of inversions, arm balances, and balancing poses. All-levels are welcome.
Ayurvedic Dinacharya
Each morning, we will walk through a traditional Ayurvedic morning routine, also known as Dinacharya, intended to balance the body + mind. Our itinerary will look something like this:
Wake-Up
Body + Mind Scan
Oil Pulling
Morning Meditation
Morning Tea
Sun Salutations
Abhyanga (Oil-Massage)
Showers
Breakfast
Channel islands harbor paddle
Pick your player: paddle board or kayak. We’re taking the scenic route through the neighborhood. If we’re lucky, we might even run into the neighborhood greeters - the dolphins like to look for fish in the marina.
barefoot beach run + ocean plunge daily
Run, walk, skip… however you may. We’ll loop 4 miles on this long stretch of beach and finish it with an ocean plunge. This is the kids’ contrast therapy. Days like this are medicine for the soul.
afternoon “mocktail” bar
Every good girls weekend needs an afternoon mock-tail and snack. We’ll dry off from our salty beach runs and refresh with some vacay favorites.
