Hatha Mood Yoga Campout
June 18th-21st
There's something extraordinary about immersing yourself in your yoga practice. Setting yourself in the forest creates an extra sparkle to that experience.
For a few days in June, I’m inviting a small group of yogis to step away from the usual responsibilities of life and into the forest for the Hatha Mood Yoga Campout. This retreat is for dedicated yoga practitioners who crave fun new ways to move, love a strong yet graceful vinyasa practice and semi-experienced campers, people who enjoy being outdoors and are comfortable taking care of their own basic camping setup.
3 nights/ 4 days. 5 yoga sessions. Los Angeles National Forest.
This isn’t a luxury retreat or a polished getaway.
It’s something simpler.
Enhancing the beautiful, tiny details.
Each day will begin and end with yoga amongst the trees and open air.
In between we’ll cook and share meals together, wander through the forest, hike one (or more!) of my favorite trails, and leave plenty of time to rest, nap, or simply listen to the wind in the trees. As an extra special bonus, we have a local DJ as part of the Hatha Mood crew so it would only be right that we have a small dance party amongst the stars to cap it all off.
Your duties are simple:
make your way up the mountain,
pitch your tent,
bring enough water for the weekend,
and don’t forget your yoga mat.
I’ll be cooking most of the meals for the group (and my lovely husband will be there helping out in the kitchen), so while we are definitely camping… there’s still a little bit of comfort built in.
If the idea of twice daily yoga, breathing fresh mountain air, sharing top quality camping meals, and ending your days by the fire under the stars calls to you… you’re cordially invited.
What’s included?
Twice Daily Yoga
Meditation
Hiking
Music & star gaze night
Breakfast & Dinners all included + snacks
DJ Eusebios providing music all weekend long
Group time & maybe more importantly, quality alone time
Yes, there is a bathroom on site!
No, there isn't a shower onsite but I'll be making a station to wash face/ hands and we will have our pop up shower for use!! Cleanliness in an ever so elegant camping style.

Weather check!!!!
I will be keeping my eyes on the weather. I’ve checked the report for the weather in Pasadena past few years and there seems to be a trend of sorts. 68°-78°, that’s the range I’ve seen from 2022-2025. Keep in mind that we won’t be down at the base rather we’ll be up high in the mountains at 5/6,000 ft. of elevation and the air is much cooler there. Even when there’s heat down low it’s breezy and wonderful up top. I promise not to take us up there if the weather is too hot. I will be visiting the campsite frequently as we get closer to our date for all the future weather updates you could ever dream of!
Intention behind Hatha Mood YC…
About 11 years ago I spent two weeks at a Yoga Ashram in Vietnam. We lived a true yogi life style during our stay. Our schedule was wake up at 4:30 and meditate for an hour, eat a small but nourishing breakfast, do a 2 hour yoga practice, then we’d clean the space, cook meals together and in the evening another 2 hour yoga practice followed by an early sleep. I truly loved it. I ended up doing all my major trainings in this immersive style. Carving out time solely for Yoga is how it’s meant to be practiced, this is how the ancient yogi’s did it. We don’t need to permanently leave our lives to be good yogi’s but I strongly believe in the power of focused dedication as it pertains to Yoga. This retreat is meant to emulate my time at the Ashram.
