SPRING: HARMONY RANCH, GLEN ELLEN, California
Start some internal spring cleaning at a Harmony Ranch purification retreat, where four days of Raja yoga, meditation, and light hiking in the Sonoma wine country accompany "gourmet detox" cuisine. Fueled by carrot-ginger soup and grilled marinated zucchini, glide through gentle poses, meditation, and focused breathing with acclaimed instructors Michele Hebért and Mehrad Nazari. Then walk the Jack London Trail, which runs through hills and redwood forests to its namesake author’s private lake. Guest rooms in the mountaintop ranch house and a 1,000-square-foot cottage overlook the surrounding vineyards. Four-day retreats in March and April cost $685–$785, including instruction, lodging, and meals. Single-night stays (with yoga) cost $250 per couple year-round, including breakfast. 707-939-8887, www.spaspirit.com
