Yoga, Mindfulness, Spiritual Mentoring & Retreats in Northern California

Yoga, Nature and Mindfulness Retreat

Yoga, Nature & Mindfulness Retreat

May 13–16, 2027 | Mendocino Coast, California

Join me for three nights of yoga, meditation, nature, and renewal at the extraordinary Mendocino Stone Ranch. Nestled among the redwoods, with ocean views and remarkable stone artistry, this beautiful setting invites us to slow down, deepen our practice, and reconnect with ourselves and the natural world.

Practice and learn with Ashley Sharp. With almost 30 years of experience, she offers mindfulness-based yoga & meditation, private spiritual mentoring, and intimate retreats in the quiet beauty of Mendocino County coastal redwood forest. These spaces are designed for deep rest, creative renewal, and compassionate presence in the midst of everyday life.

Whether you are seeking personal guidance, meaningful practice, or time away on retreat, you are warmly welcome here.
