Luxurious Accommodations

 Baywood Redwood Retreat

Our home for the week is the Baywood Redwood Retreat—a luxurious, spacious, yet cozy multi-level home surrounded by the magnificent redwoods with views of the Baywood Golf Course. This private Airbnb offers everything you need to relax after a day of adventure:


    • Standard Rooms: $2,500 per person (double occupancy only)

    • Discounted Rooms (Game Room and Bunk Room): $2,000 per person (double occupancy only)

    • Important Note: No refunds are offered for this retreat under any circumstances.

  • A 7-person hot tub, expansive stamped patio, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and multiple gathering areas surrounded by redwoods and golf course views.

    • 4 Standard Rooms with lush views and cozy comfort.

    • 2 Discounted Rooms: The Game Room (with a queen Murphy bed and a 65-inch TV) and the Bunk Room (a “treehouse” experience with TV and fireplace), ideal guests seeking a budget-friendly option.

  • For your journey to the retreat, you have a couple of travel options to consider:

    1. Flying Directly to Arcata/Eureka (ACV): Arcata/Eureka airport (ACV) is a charming, remote airport nestled right in the redwoods, perfect for a unique arrival. Although flights here may be pricier due to its remote location, if you choose to fly directly into ACV, we’ll have transportation arranged to take you to and from the airport.

    2. Flying into San Francisco (SFO) or Sacramento (SMF) and Driving: We highly recommend flying into San Francisco or Sacramento, renting a car, and making the scenic drive up to the retreat home. The cost for this option often matches or is even lower than flying directly into Arcata, and the drive through Northern California is a journey in itself! Coming from San Francisco, you’ll be treated to breathtaking redwood landscapes, coastal views, and a glimpse of Northern California’s natural wonders once you leave the urban areas behind.

      Having a car will also be beneficial during the retreat since the area is rural, making it a bit tricky to navigate on foot or with limited public transportation. A vehicle provides the flexibility to explore, visit nearby sites, or simply take a leisurely drive through Humboldt County’s incredible scenery during your downtime.

    3. Coordinating Travel from SFO: If multiple guests fly into SFO around the same time, we can help set up a group chat so you can coordinate your arrivals, potentially rent a car together, and share the drive up. This could be a great way to bond with fellow participants and simplify travel logistics while enjoying the iconic Northern California landscapes together.

    Whether you choose a direct flight or take the scenic route, the beauty of Humboldt County awaits you! Book your spot now to secure your place in this unforgettable week of reconnection and renewal.

“Better than I could have imagined! Our time in Costa Rica together was chill (even with 14 - 16 optional classes over 7 days), uplifting and a beautiful reminder of the community we are so lucky to have as well as the necessities of life. Being in another country and among a culture that doesn't have or indulge in some of the comforts that we do as Americans, was a great reminder of what's important in life and what's not. This group was so open, inclusive, fun and down for adventure. Gabrielle had everything perfectly planned from comfy accommodations, meals, transportation and class offerings. I've been on multiple yoga retreats & this ranks among the best. Thank you to everyone who went, Equilibrium studio and Gabrielle!”

“The "Namaste" in Costa Rica Retreat was the best gift I have given myself all year! My cheeks hurt from laughing so hard with my wonderful friends. So many fantastic meals, outings, and of course the complementary styles of teaching between morning and evening sessions. I feel so fluid and relaxed for the last quarter of the year.”

“The 2024 Costa Rica retreat with Equilibrium Movement Was an amazing experience. We were welcomed by the most gracious hosts in a beautiful environment. Gabrielle was a fun, flexible, and adventurous leader. She was up for anything and encouraged the group to go with the flow. No one in the group felt excluded. Not only did we practice yoga in a serene jungle yoga shala, but we had many cultural immersion experiences and lots of free time. I will be joining retreats with Equilibrium Movement in the future.”
