OPEN, AIRY, WARM
-WELCOME TO LAGUNA BEACH HOUSE-
Nestled in the heart of Laguna, the Beach House is a

vintage pieces from the local area with vibrant pops of color.
Formerly a motel, this contemporary seaside retreat has been lovingly transformed and offers
the perfect location for those seeking to stay in one of the best Laguna Beach hotels.

classic Laguna while enjoying the open, airy atmosphere of
this sun-drenched surf hotel within walking distance of
Main Beach and downtown.
Laguna Beach has a way of transporting visitors back to the 1970s with its winding seaside walks and rhythmic surf.
Time to wander secret beaches, surf historic swells, and explore.
From romance to recreation, there’s always something new to discover.
Yoga
We will be practicing a strong, dynamic, and compassionate yoga practice and flow marrying together the traditions of Iyengar and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.
We will slowly and mindfully weave our way through alignment-based practices each day taking time to workshop asanas and come-see-come-look moments giving students the opportunity to demo postures as we practice.
Expect longer holds occasionally, flowing, break-downs of alignment and postures, and a focus on the breath. Classes are wonderful and appropriate for all levels from beginners to advanced practitioners and teachers. We ask students to be curious and expect to take a deep and joyful dive into the practice and their own inner ecology and wilderness.
Skill Level - appropriate for beginner, intermediate, advanced
Meditation We will enjoy guided meditation and will explore the style of Vipassana meditation also known as insight meditation.
Within this style we will explore a variety of methods including breath meditation, and heart meditations including a compassion meditation and a metta or living kindness meditation. We will talk about the basics of meditation, finding a comfortable seat, and the roots of mindfulness.
Hiking
We will be getting out for a hike and maybe a second nature walk during our time on retreat. The hike will be moderate in difficulty, however we are hiking closer to sea level so it should be appropriate for most, we are not doing anything too intense.
We will go easy and not push it too hard when hiking. We will take breaks for the group and listen to our needs.
Please bring good and supportive hiking shoes, a daypack to hike with, a reusable water bottle, a hat, sunglasses if needed, sunscreen, and layers.
