About
My name is Holiday Johnson
I grew up on a ranch in Mendocino, California, eating food grown in the garden and shared in community, surrounded by local musicians and artists, all of which shaped who I am. A love of nature, dance and music has guided me on my path as an adult. While studying dance in college I became involved with the practice and study of yoga as well. This combination of movement and mindfulness became a cornerstone for how I navigate the world. After many years dancing and performing various dance styles, including Tahitian Hula, Modern, Ballet, Aerial and African Dance, I was called to immerse myself deeper in the art of yoga. I moved into teaching dance and yoga, continuously learning and taking new teacher training courses. I taught regular weekly classes for many years, including mindful yoga, stand-up paddle board (SUP) yoga and aerial. Since Covid, I have moved my teaching and practice outside. I combine yoga and nature to give myself and my students a deeper feeling of connection to themselves and to the earth.
​
I am certified for 300 hours and have studied under Sherri Baptiste and Yoga with Weights. I am also certified in Paddleboard Yoga.

Under a dazzling array of stars, you are invited to leave the hustle & bustle of city life behind, unplug, and slow down to the rhythms of the natural world. Surrounded by 800 acres of private land and natural beauty, the focus of our weekend is rest, creativity, regeneration, and play.

Expert Instructors
Suitable for All Levels
A short drive from the spectacular Mendocino Coast and Navarro Beach, you will be nestled between ancient redwoods, fields of wildflowers, organic gardens, a beautifully restored 100-year-old barn, and a horse pasture and a network of private trails.
Give yourself the gift of time to just BE. Get back to basics in a shared glamping tent (2 people per tent), or bring your own tent and sleeping bag for a slightly lower fee. A full bathhouse with two bathrooms, shower, and old-fashioned bathtub are adjacent to glamping area.
