Our neighborhood is quiet and you can enjoy the birds chirping in the backyard by the stream or walk 5 min to the lake near by and possibly see the swans and ducks that live there :) Ideally you have a reliable transportation to be able to get around. You can walk or ride a bike around the neighborhood but you will need a vehicle to best get to local stores or to further explore the valley When possible we are happy to share a ride if you want to join us on some outtings but don't rely on us to get you around :) Yoga happens in this house :) 6am Weekdays 8am Saturdays 5pm Fridays/Sundays You are expected to participate in am sessions or an agreed upon schedule :) Not to worry all activities are tailored to YOU and your ability and desires for your stay :-) Be ready!

We are happy to point you in the right direction or create a wellness experience with walking meditation , reiki, sound healing just for you. We are regular people who simply share what we have and appreciate you taking time to share wit us!
