About this trip

Rejuvenate your body and soul in the serene Sierras with a cozy autumn weekend focused on health and clarity. This vice-free retreat is designed to reveal the natural resources available within each one of us. As always, we are excited to introduce a unique and local surprise guest (or 2!) into our healing weekend. Details are in the works as of the time of this publishing, but trust we bring only the best of their field into our gathering space! No two retreats are ever the same!


This dreamy weekend is an invitation to slow down, to check in and to prioritize your holistic well being in an open-hearted, playful, peaceful way. Depending on Mother Nature, as always, our weekend wellness festival may include crisp morning yoga, forest time, warm soaks in our homemade hot springs, invigorating cold plunges in the Yuba River bend, breath+sound journey and lots of magic in between. Plus (and it's a BIG plus) DELICIOUS, seasonal, high-nutrition meals by Rainbow Lodge Chef, Spencer Shapton. ReTREAT with us at the historic Rainbow Lodge


Check-in is Thursday between 4pm-8pm. (Dinner on your own Thursday pm.)

Check-out is Sunday 11am after breakfast.

Nicole and Beverly Jane’s collision course toward yoga destiny happened over an extended playdate with their then kindergarten boys. Both yoga instructors, with a penchant toward non- chalance, the two got along famously. When Nicole moved to Nosara, Costa Rica and started working at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, she knew a retreat was in order. And Beverly Jane proved to be the perfect partner. While quite different from the outside, Beverly Jane and Nicole both share the same attitude toward life, love and yoga. They have been told (more than once) that their yin/yang combo, individual teaching styles and unique passion for how and what they teach create a beautiful and cohesive blend. This happy confluence of talent and energy already has and will continue to result in a beautiful, lively, introspective and yes, potentially life altering retreat experience. For more info, enjoy pursuing their individual bios and websites on our main trip page.

Nicole and Beverly Jane are an amazing duo to get the most out of your retreat with them. I always leave their retreats with a great reset. I was nourished with good food, my spirit was nourished with dropping in and tapping in and my energy pathways were opened up with chi gong, wild river cold plunging in the Yuba river (38 degrees!), yoga and breathwork. ❤️ Plus, I connected with amazing ladies and my old friends from past retreats. We all need this from time to time and boost the ability to integrate into your daily life.

A long-time OG retreat fan of these two, hard to pass their offerings up. Each and every retreat exceeds expectations. For me, It’s been all about the expansion, the love & the practices that invite us to push our edges just enough to experience a sense of release. Best part? You don’t have to be a super nimble yogi or a seasoned journaler (in fact there’s a line in a poem Nicole likes to recite about how she “didn’t journal about it, she just let go…”). So don’t journal about it, or buy a bunch of new yoga outfits, just LET Go, and gooooooo…..

Amazing! So grateful to have joined Nicole and Beverly Jane for this beautiful and transformative weekend. It was deeply nourishing for my heart and soul. They clearly put so much love into creating such a special experience for all of us. I can't list all of the amazing things about it, but they included unbelievable sound baths and Beverly Jane's songs, the most amazing and energetic breath work session, yoga, yoga, yoga, hot springs, Nicole's powerful stories of her own healing journey, hanging out with the other women there, participating in a cacao ceremony and gathering in such a cozy, beautiful lodge.

A more transformational weekend could not be had! The magic that Nicole and Beverly Jane create is indescribable, but the experience is always one of deep connection with self and others. This is not *just* yoga, this is an opportunity to reset and reimagine your place in the world.
