through

Yoga, Painting, Hiking, and Book Discussion
​(as well as delicious food prepared by former Cafe Chloe Chef, Katie Grebow)


"The least complicated way to begin is to recognize your habitual ways of being and learn to shift your thinking to being in balance with your dreams" states Wayne Dyer.  

Lets explore this transformative concept together throughout a weekend of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-discovery.  

We will practice through movement, stillness, silence, meditation, painting, hiking, reading, and discussion.  There are many opportunities for practice, but nothing is required.  This is your retreat.  Take this time to be with yourself and practice getting in touch with noticing your thoughts and aligning your dreams. 

This retreat is appropriate for both beginning and experienced yoga and meditation students.

 This retreat is located in an Oak Grove near Cedar Creek Falls area of Julian, California.  There are lovely views of mountains and wildlife that serve as excellent backdrops for contemplation.

 On the last day of the retreat, we will hike to the Cedar Creek Falls (optional).  

​Further, the painting workshop allows you to explore the concept of balance in a landscape composition, asymmetrical or symmetrical.

You are welcome to read this book, Being in Balance, beforehand or savor it for the retreat.

Cedar Creek Falls Retreat​


Oak Grove near Cedar Creek Falls is a fabulous place to relax, reflect connect, and soak in nature, away from your busy life. 

Cedar Creek Falls Retreat is a house with close to 2200 square feet total and is located near the newly opened Cedar Creek Falls and on an acre of land in the exclusive area of Pine Hills 4 miles from the historic town of Julian in Northern San Diego.

Nestled in majestic oaks, the house sits just off the main road in a secluded hillside with views to the mountains. City lights can be seen from the downstairs porch. A wrap-around deck includes a roomy balcony deck with tables and chairs which is a great place to watch sunsets through the trees.

At night you have full view of the stars.  We do have mountain lions and possibly a wolf.  

A bird feeding plank is installed on the balcony and a wide array of birds can be viewed from inside the living room. There is an additional deck off the kitchen with another table and chairs. 

​Home to the wild turkeys and deer, the water trough gives you front row seating to morning and afternoon migrations from the balcony or living room.

Hannah is such a creative and inspiring yoga instructor. Her passion and energy are contagious, and I've really enjoyed her yoga classes.

Yoga ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My 7 year old son was lucky enough to take multiple yoga lessons with Hannah. He had zero experience with yoga, but Hannah made the classes fun and interesting. She is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about teaching yoga to children. He loves to come home and share what he learned from her class with the whole family and I look forward to him continuing lessons with her. I highly recommend her fun, safe, entertaining classes to any child!!

Hannah is a fantastic art and yoga teacher! Hannah taught art and yoga at my daughter's school. Since my daughter enjoyed Hannah's classes so much during the school year, she continued to taking classes from her over the summer at Yoga One studio in Downtown San Diego.
-Maria

Yoga and Art ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My 3 girls, ages 9, 9, and 7 and yoga and art with Ms. Hannah and loved every minute of it. She is cheerful, energetic, motivating, creative, and kind. My girls not only learned but loved the learning. One of my daughter's has tightness in her legs and through Ms. Hannah's yoga class she was able to touch her toes (something she had never done before)! It was not only an enjoyable class, it was life changing.  
My children were also lucky enough to have Ms. Hannah as an art teacher as well. She is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job of creating lessons that the children will enjoy while at the same time teaching them about a certain style or a certain artist.  
Thank you Ms. Hannah!
-Nicole

 Drawing and Painting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My daughter has been a student of Hannah's for over a year. My daughter's talent has grown and developed quite a bit under her instruction. An added bonus, my daughter loves her! Highly recommended by child and parents!
