Join David and Joan for a blissful weekend on the beautiful property of White Lotus Retreat Center in Santa Barbara. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to replenish yourself and practice yoga twice daily with David and Joan. White Lotus overlooks the city of Santa Barbara, the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands. It is situated in a steep canyon forty acres in the San Marcos pass. We will enjoy the swimming hole and the underground Hopi-style meditation Kiva as well as other delightful amenities.

Begin your day with a challenging and invigorating 2-hour morning yoga practice and finish in the evening with a deep stretch introducing partner yoga and finishing in restoratives to slowly melt away any tension. Take the afternoon to hike, swim or relax. Evenings you may enjoy the hot tub, gaze at the stars, or gather on the porch with others. We will have delicious and healthy meals prepared for us and great massage therapists will be available.
