I recently attended the "Wake up with Wellness" retreat that was held during the "Taste of the SYV"…read moreweekend. It was a crisp, cool, morning out Foxen Canyon Rd at Koehler Winery. There were Emu's wandering the property and our event was up on the Tree house Deck, right were the Emu's could wander around us. We participated in the Sound bath & Restorative Yoga portion of the retreat. There was also another mini retreat of 'Make your own' Essential Oils class going on simultaneously. The restorative yoga was a new experience for my husband and I, and we both found it to be very relaxing and a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning. After the yoga, they concluded with a sound bath healing with Lisa Jay, in which I had attended a sound bath healing with her before, and that is what drew me into attending this event. It was very healing, relaxing, and renewing to spend the morning with others, while Emu's made noises around us. There is nothing more grounding and uplifting than crystal bowls humming all around you, the sound reverberating throughout your whole being. I believe I drifted off at some point and didn't even realize I was outside in Los Olivos anymore, but transported to another world. If you haven't done a sound bath healing, I highly recommend it. I also think Yoga with Emu's could catch on, much like 'Yoga with goats.'.... If you haven't been to the Santa Ynez Valley, I highly recommend coming up for a visit, there is a sacred space out here, and to be able to attend this event was so special. The views around us, were breathtaking. VWC really thought of everything, after yoga and sound we were definitely thirsty and hungry. Kelly and her team even had a light fare that was provided afterward, there were snacks and Koehler offered a wine flight tasting afterwards, which was wonderful. VWC (Valley Wellness Collective) even included a small take home gift from the retreat. It was a beautiful way to celebrate taking care of ourselves, as self-care has been a new running theme for us. I look forward to what else Kelly and her team of Wellness Providers dream up next, at their next retreat/event. I am even excited about VWC Holiday Market coming up on the 23rd of November back out at Koehler Winery, (1pm to 4pm) celebrating local artisans selling their custom made wares. We really needed something like this in the Valley, and I'm grateful she (Kelly) has made it a reality here. It was well supported, and everything was well managed and effortless.

This is a wonderful studio, and I'm so happy that I found it. While I am very active (running,…read moreskiing), I really felt like I could stand to improve my core strength. I've never enjoyed yoga, so I thought I would give Pilates a try. As someone who has never been particularly flexible, though, I'll admit that I was a little nervous. I booked my first private appointment to learn the ropes, and I had a wonderful experience. Andrea is a great instructor-- encouraging and helpful. She knows just when to push me, and she makes adjustments to ensure that I'm not cheating on the reformer (I have one side that is stronger than the other, and she keeps a close eye on my form). I'm totally hooked now-- I've been doing private seasons twice a week for two months, and I've even been in for a group session that I also loved (Kristine is also a fantastic instructor). The studio is clean, spacious, and bright (lots of natural light, which I love). Even in a group setting you don't feel like you are on top of anyone else, and if you have a private session booked while there are other sessions in progress there are two private rooms. The equipment is clean and in great shape, and everyone is very friendly and welcoming (regardless of your ability). I'm just so pleased that I found this gem so close to home!

I think the instructor was Krista but not 100% sure... but she was really great though. Also loved the music playlist & whole overall vibe. Excited to return & try more classes whenever I'm in town visiting family. (The studio is located around back not off the main street how it seemed on the map. It was Sunday so everything seemed deserted but then walked around the side & back... there's a parking lot that the studio opens up from.)
