Please note that "Shared" accommodation is not guaranteed. It depends on the number of attendant's. While it always seems to work out, the best way to guarantee a shared space is to invite a friend! I am happy to also help pair people with a roommate.
THE YOGA OF FLOW
MAY 16th-19th 2022
2 nights, 3 days Rafting Adventure
The Yoga of Flow rafting adventure will begin with a three mile hike into the canyon and to Meral's Pool, where we will meet the river. Over the next few days we will be in direct relationship to water, the elements, our mind, our hearts, our sense of adventure, our community and Flow. The daily yoga practice will be a counter practice to the physicality of the rafting. We will explore the elements of flow within our practice and draw from the river as inspiration.
Each day our camp is set up and broken down and our meals are prepared for us. Now it can't get more luxurious than that! This trip is for all ages (adults) and physicalities. The "hardest" part of the physical nature of the retreat is the hike to the canyon.
About the River
There’s a lot of whitewater on the Tuolumne, a whole lot. In the 18 miles from Meral’s Pool to Ward’s Ferry we will run over 14 major rapids rated Class IV or better, and several others rated Class III and III+. In all, there are over 40 named rapids and probably another 40 that would have names if they were anywhere
else. In the early part of the season the rapids are big and fast and cold; we wear wetsuits and paddle furiously. Later in the summer, the rapids are tricky and frequent and the water is a bit warmer (and the air is hot); we wear sunscreen and laugh a lot.
Both the 2 and 3 day trips begin at Meral’s Pool, a quiet spot in the river about 23 miles downstream from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, and end at Ward’s Ferry Bridge 18 miles later. For the first six miles, from Rock Garden to Clavey Falls, the rapids come almost non-stop as the river winds and drops through numerous granite
boulderfields. Clavey Falls, at mile 6, is a whitewater event which you will never forget. Below Clavey, the rapids continue but are separated by short pools which allow us a welcome opportunity to enjoy the scenery and solitude of the canyon. Camping is along the river at pristine, wilderness sites, often near beautiful sidestreams which offer great opportunities for hiking, swimming and relaxing.
The rapids will capture your attention but the canyon will capture your heart.
