OJAI YOGA RETREAT - Nov 11-13th

A few weekends ago I attended a 3-day yoga retreat in Ojai, CA.   It was about a 2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles and was located in the foot hills of the mountains.   The grounds were amazing and consisted of several housing accommodations on five acres.  I have been following this yogi, Tim Senesi, on YouTube.  His cuing and style of teaching really resonated with me.   To meet him and several other students and teachers in person was a real boon.  It was a much needed get away and got me out of my comfort zone.
No television, limited WiFi,and lots fresh air and quiet space.   I had a chance to really contemplate and meditate too.  I have practiced and done yoga for many years.  Intermediate student at best.   Tim’s classes were at least 2 hours long.  I was challenged keeping up and managed to do about 90% of the moves.   I returned refreshed and committed to incorporating more yoga & meditation into my weekly wellness schedule. Committed to nailing a head and hand stand too.  I plan to attend one of his classes in Orange county soon. Tim and his girlfriend were the best hosts and did all the cooking!
