RELAX + RESTORE

Saturday, August 10 | 9:30am - 2pm | Pie Ranch, Pescadero, CA

Yoga? Yep. Pies? Uh-huh! Farm-to-table lunch with your local community friends? YES. What's not to love?

Come spend a lazy Saturday on a local ranch for a little yoga, farm fresh lunch, and pie-making... Yes, I said pie making. Join me for Relax + Restore: a half-day retreat at Pie Ranch, where nature's beauty meets soulful introspection.

On the mat, we will journey inward in exploration of your most powerful relationship in life - the one you share with yourself. You will be invited to take the mind on a restorative journey through yoga nidra (guided meditation) while the body relaxes in a series of restorative postures with only the aroma of pies baking in the distance to keep you in an awakened state. Enjoy soul nourishing conversation and connection while baking pies from scratch with fellow yogis in your community! 

In this workshop, you will enjoy… 

  • A rejuvenating yoga class amidst the peaceful landscape of Pie Ranch and delicious aroma of freshly baked pies

  • Guided meditation and restorative yoga nidra aimed at promoting deep relaxation and introspection

  • A delicious lunch made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that support food justice initiatives in the Bay Area

  • An immersive pie-making experience where you'll learn the art of crafting delectable pies using seasonal fruits

Pie Ranch is a local non-profit that helps support food justice here in the Bay Area. Food justice is a movement in which communities come together to exercise their right to grow, sell, and eat healthy food. Healthy food is fresh, nutritious, affordable, culturally-appropriate, and grown locally with care for the well-being of the land, workers, and animals.

About Danni Pomplun

 

I turned to yoga when there was nothing left.

I had a rough childhood and lived on my own by the time I was 16. I turned to drugs and alcohol as vices; I succumbed to depression, suicide, and surrounded myself with anyone and anything to avoid confronting my reality of a life in decline. After I lost a partner, and had a cancer scare, I continued to lean into self-destructive behavior. We all have our limits, and I hit mine but yoga found me when I needed it most. Yoga met me where I was — not judging me, but demanding my attention.

With a consistent practice, I took multiple steps towards the path of becoming a teacher. Since then, I’ve studied and learned from the best, crediting Darren Main, Jason Crandell, Noah Maze, Rocky Heron, and Janet Stone in influencing my teaching and teaching style. Each class with me is intelligent, fun, functional, but most of all, authentic.

I consider myself a teacher who specializes in breaking down the elements of a vinyasa practice in an accessible, fun, and light-hearted way. My teaching philosophy is one that allows students to understand movements within their bodies at a functional level as opposed to having a standard, routine vinyasa practice. It is my hope that with each practice, students leave their mat with a stronger appreciation for what the body is capable of, how this practice goes off the mat beyond the physical asanas, fosters an unwavering community when we move and breathe together, and how yoga is always there to support you at any time.
