Join us on the farm for a wonderful day of yoga, farm-to-table dining, relaxing and pie baking at beautiful Pie Ranch with yoga teacher Disha Gupta.
This workshop is now sold out! Thank you. You may join the waitlist at the link below.
This one day yoga retreat at lovely Pie Ranch is an invitation to reconnect with our inner selves and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with our bodies, minds, our communities and the land.
We'll gather on the farm with warm beverages and begin the day with an active morning vinyasa class, exploring a full body mindful flow – a dynamic yet accessible practice that builds strength, flexibility, and awareness. With a slow start and a non-rushing mindset, we'll prepare the body and mind for deeper transitions and new possibilities.
Lunch is a farm-to-table vegetarian meal straight from the fields prepared by Pie Ranch's very own Chef Linh Vong. Dietary considerations welcome!
After lunch, relax in the meadow or join along on a walking tour of Pie Ranch—a 27 acre organic, regenerative farm growing a diversity of vegetables, grains, beans, and tree fruit. We'll wrap up the farm tour in the Pie Ranch kitchen where participants have the opportunity to get their hands in the dough for a pie baking lesson with seasonal fruits! If you'd rather take time to rest, reflect, or connect, please feel free to practice intentional downtime before the afternoon class.
We'll close the day with a late afternoon restorative practice, designed to encourage deep listening, release tension, and nourish the nervous system. This practice will include a thoughtfully guided, deeply grounding asana flow, where we'll integrate somatic practices, self-inquiry, and breath mantras to help us tune into our body’s wisdom. This session invites you to unwind and integrate the day's movement with breath, stillness, and deep relaxation.
Before we say goodbye, we'll gather to enjoy our freshly-baked pies in the meadow!

About Disha Gupta
I am a RYT 500 yoga teacher based in Berkeley, California. I stumbled upon hatha yoga in 2008 at an ashram near my home in Jaipur as an accessible way to stay fit. However, it didn’t take me long to recognize its holistic impact on my emotional, mental and spiritual well being. Ever since, practicing yoga has become an integral part of my life. Each time I teach or self-practice, I strive to embody the yoga sutra, “sthira-sukham asanam”: trying to find balance in effort and ease. I emphasize on finding moments of compassionate self-inquiry, mindfulness and body awareness in every practice. Yoga is a practice of taking agency of our bodies and minds, and I aspire to build that as a skill in my students.
