Warm Heart. Steady Feet
A Weekend of Yoga, Creativity & Renewal
November 6-8, 2026
Wild Oak Farm, Sonoita, AZ
Slow down. Breathe deeply. Come home to yourself.
An Invitation
Life has a way of pulling us in many directions. It asks us to care deeply, stay resilient, and keep moving forward—often without taking time to reconnect with ourselves.
Warm Heart, Steady Feet is an invitation to pause, not to step away from life, but to return to it with renewed energy, creativity, and purpose.
Over the course of the weekend, we'll move our bodies through yoga, awaken our creativity through art, immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Arizona landscape, and enjoy the nourishment of shared meals, meaningful connection, and quiet moments of reflection.
My hope is that you'll leave with a warm heart, steady feet, and renewed energy for whatever comes next.
Our Home for the Weekend
Nestled in the rolling hills of Sonoita, Wild Oak Farm provides a peaceful setting where wide-open skies, oak trees, sweeping grasslands, and fragrant lavender invite us to settle into a different pace and reconnect with the natural world.
I chose Wild Oak Farm because it reflects the spirit of this retreat. The beauty of the landscape, thoughtfully designed glamping accommodations, and welcoming gathering spaces create an environment where it feels natural to breathe deeply, move mindfully, create freely, and simply enjoy being together.
Throughout the weekend, we'll practice yoga beneath an ancient oak tree, gather around the table for delicious meals, explore our creativity, and end the day gathering beneath a sky filled with stars. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee beneath the oaks, wandering the trails, or pausing to take in the scent of fragrant lavender, you'll discover that the landscape itself becomes an essential part of the retreat experience.
The Experience
Yoga
Flowing vinyasa and restorative practices beneath the ancient oak tree invite you to reconnect with your body, your breath, and the natural world.
Creativity
Explore the beautiful process of cyanotype through a guided art experience. No artistic experience is necessary—only curiosity and a willingness to play.
Nature
Enjoy spacious time to wander, journal, rest, or simply soak in the beauty and quiet rhythms of Wild Oak Farm.

Share nourishing meals, meaningful conversation, and peaceful evenings beneath Southern Arizona's spectacular night sky.

Meet Your Guide
Hi, I'm Jade.
I've always been drawn to practices that help us reconnect—with ourselves, with the natural world, and with what matters most. Throughout my life, my work as a professor, researcher, yoga teacher, and artist has been guided by a deep curiosity about resilience, creativity, and the many ways we heal and grow.
I've been practicing yoga for nearly three decades and teaching since 2006. I received my yoga teacher certification through the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, California, and continue to deepen my practice through ongoing study and exploration. Over the years, I've led yoga retreats, guest taught at retreat centers and wellness venues, and today teach yoga in Tucson, Arizona.
My teaching blends flowing vinyasa, restorative yoga, breathwork, and deep relaxation. Whether you're an experienced practitioner or relatively new to yoga, my intention is to create a welcoming and supportive space where you can move with confidence, reconnect with yourself, and simply enjoy the experience.
My hope is that you'll leave the weekend feeling more grounded, inspired, and connected—to yourself, to others, and to the natural world.
I look forward to welcoming you to Warm Heart, Steady Feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Wild Oak Farm?
Wild Oak Farm is located just outside the town of Sonoita, Arizona, about an hour from Tucson. Detailed directions and arrival information will be provided after you register.
Do I need yoga experience?
A basic familiarity with yoga is helpful, but you don't need years of experience.

Whether you're relatively new to yoga or have an established practice, you'll be encouraged to move at your own pace.
What if I'm not artistic?
No artistic experience is necessary. During the retreat, we'll explore the beautiful art of cyanotype—a simple, nature-inspired photographic printing process that uses sunlight to create rich blue botanical prints. It's fun, relaxing, and accessible to everyone. Come with curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Absolutely. Many participants attend retreats on their own, and it's a wonderful way to meet like-minded people. If you're coming with a friend or partner, we'll do our best to accommodate your roommate preferences.
