You don’t need a yoga practice. You don’t need sailing experience. Just bring yourself, a mat, and whatever you’re ready to leave in the wake.
This is the day your body remembers. For most of human history, the body lived outdoors — moving with wind and water, oriented by the horizon, regulated by the rhythm of the natural world. The city is recent. The screen is very recent. But the body hasn’t forgotten what it needs. It’s just been a long time since anyone gave it back.
Yoga and sailing were made for each other. They share one core principle: stop fighting and start moving with what’s already in motion. On the mat, that’s the breath. On the water, that’s the wind. Both teach you to find your center in the middle of movement — and discover that stillness and flow aren’t opposites. They’re the same thing.
Outdoors, under the sun in the salt-laced air, this goes somewhere a spa day or studio simply cannot reach. The horizon opens your nervous system. The rhythm of the boat keeps you present without effort. The salt air, the light, the sound of the sails filling, it lands like a primal reminder of what the body needs.

JUNE 6 – The Golden Gate Passage
YogaFlow on the Mat Departing from Brickyard Cove Marina, Point Richmond
We start the morning on our private deck at Brickyard Cove, harbor spread out in front of us, city in the distance. We unroll our mats and move through an all-levels YogaFlow with instructor Monika Kaufman — under the morning sun, open sky, salt air filling our senses. No walls, no ceiling, no restrictions.
We board a beautiful 40-foot monohull and sail out into the open Bay with hot drinks and warm glows. Take the wheel if you want it, or settle in and let the water do its work. We sail through Raccoon Strait to our secluded cove, where we drop anchor for a chef-prepared seasonal lunch on deck with San Francisco laid out before us.
Then we head toward the Golden Gate. The city front stretches before us. Alcatraz looms in the distance. We sail beneath the rust-red towers — framed by the rock cliffs of the Marin Headlands on one side and the edge of the city on the other. The traffic overhead sounds like a windstorm. Sea birds float on the incoming currents while porpoises surf the bow wave.
We sail back on the wind and current to the dock. Stay for wine and charcuterie and let the day soak in. You’ll step off the boat expanded and deeply settled in your body.

JULY Adventure – The Angel Island Quest
Yoga in the Grass Departing from Jack London Square, Oakland Coming JULY — Join the Waitlist
Board our luxury catamaran at Jack London Square and head out onto the Bay. When the engine cuts and the sails fill, something shifts. You aren’t being pushed anymore — you’re being carried.
We go ashore at Angel Island and dig our bare feet into lush green grass for an all-levels YogaFlow with the wind, the birds, and an expansive view of the Bay and the Golden Gate. Then we take an easy hike through green hills to the summit where inspiration is ever present in the panoramic views and fresh island air.
We re-board and underway, enjoy a seasonal lunch on deck as we sail back across the Bay. When we arrive back, you can head off home or stay for our traditional post-yoga wine-down. You’ll step off the dock feeling like you’ve been gone a week – enlivened and restored.

The Biology of a Day on The Water
A full day on the Bay feels like a week of vacation because it is a physiological override.
The horizon resets your nervous system. In the city, your vision is tunneled — a biological state linked to high alert. On the water, you shift into panoramic gaze. Looking at a 360-degree horizon sends a direct signal to the nervous system to stand down.
The body gets different signals: horizon instead of screen, rhythm instead of rush, fresh air instead of recycled air. Stress begins to soften. Breath deepens. Attention comes back.
The water restores your mind. “Blue Mind” is the term for the calm, clear, connected state most people feel near water. It’s not just the view, it’s the rhythm of the waves, the open blue space, the gentle sensory input that lets your attention rest without going blank. You come back mentally sharp in a way that’s impossible to recreate indoors.
The boat keeps you present. A boat is never still. Your body makes constant micro-adjustments to stay balanced. This gentle, persistent physical demand keeps the mind in the present moment, not as a conscious practice, but as the body doing what it does best – adjusting to change. You can’t get stuck in an overthinking loop when you’re fully engaged with what’s in front of you.
Yoga amplifies all of it. Movement, breath, and open sky work with the Bay’s natural environment to accelerate everything – the reset, the recovery, the sense of having genuinely returned to yourself.
