This fall a small group joined me at The Moby Dick Hotel for six days of slowing down. We practiced four hours a day, walked the trails, rested in sound, and ate wonderfully well.

Mornings began in stillness with sunrise meditation; evenings ended on the beach watching the sun go down over the Pacific. In between there was plenty of time to breathe, read, wander, and simply be.

  • Four hours of yoga a day

    Morning and afternoon sessions, from strong flow to slow, restorative practice. All levels welcome.

  • Sunrise meditations

    Quiet, guided sits to greet the day before breakfast.

  • Hiking

    Walks through coastal forest and along the shore, at an easy pace.

  • Sound baths

    Deep rest held by singing bowls and gentle vibration.

  • Great food

    Fresh, nourishing meals made from local ingredients.

  • Sunsets on the beach

    Evenings on Washington's wide, wild Pacific beaches.

What guests said

Elizabeth organized an awesome women's yoga retreat that nourished my mind and body for weeks afterwards. The Moby Dick was a perfect location. Nestled in the woods by the bay, it had lovely accommodations with a large yurt for daily practice.
