RELAX, YOU’RE<br />

IN SONOMA...<br />

<strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> has a well-deserved reputation as a hotspot for wellness, from spas and hot<br />

springs to yoga studios and fitness clubs. Back in the 19th century, <strong>Sonoma</strong> attracted visitors<br />

from around the country for its natural hot springs, a history immortalized in the name of local<br />

communities like Boyes Hot Springs, Fetters Hot Springs and Agua Caliente.<br />

Today’s visitors can still find revitalization at the spas, retreats and open spaces in <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong>.<br />

FITNESS & YOGA Yoga at a winery?<br />

Find monthly yoga classes at many wineries,<br />

and enjoy a glass afterward. Or head<br />

to Charlie's Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary<br />

and do yoga with some friendly goats<br />

while also enjoying the farm. Meanwhile,<br />

the mountains that define the valley are<br />

the perfect place for “Yoga Hikes” from<br />

the <strong>Sonoma</strong> Ecology Center. The walks<br />

combine a moderate hike with stops for<br />

yoga among the oaks and grassy meadows at<br />

Sugarloaf State Park in Kenwood. Resorts<br />

like MacArthur Place and The Fairmont<br />

<strong>Sonoma</strong> Mission Inn & Spa have yoga<br />

classes regularly, while <strong>Sonoma</strong> Yoga is<br />

housed in the Lodge at <strong>Sonoma</strong> and offers<br />

daily classes.<br />

Euphoria Retreats, a women-owned retreat<br />

company, offeres "healthy hedonism"<br />

retreats in <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> and beyond,<br />

catering to those in search of wellness and<br />

connection.<br />

NATURE EXPERIENCES <strong>Sonoma</strong><br />

Adventures Bike Tours and Wine Country<br />

Cyclery both offer bicycle rentals. Ask<br />

for suggestions, and they'll tell you how to<br />

match your skills to the best routes possible.<br />

Riding through wine country is as mentally<br />

therapeutic as it is physically invigorating.<br />

If you don’t want to ride, you can still tour<br />

with PushPak Motors on an electric scooter<br />

along a path that takes in bird nesting sites<br />

and a local farm.<br />
