Located in the heart of Sonoma, in a place known as the Valley of the Moon, this diverse and wondrous geothermal springs sanctuary is the last of its kind. Bordering Sonoma Creek and nestled among a mature canopy of large oaks with open meadows and rolling hills, these Springs uplift the very best of whole family wellness and recreation. People have come to these Springs for generations to soak in the healing waters and to gather for picnics and reunions, retreats and organizational meetings, birthdays and weddings, and for nature-based youth camps and field trips. The temperature on all three pools range from 85° F to 94° F, depending on weather (we shoot for cooler on hot days and warmer on cooler days). Come and experience the magic of the Springs for yourself.

Join Heidi in the warm spring pools on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons in September for Water Yoga, a slower, meditative technique flowing from pose to pose that incorporates yoga, aerobics and stretching. Heidi's Water Yoga class is gentle enough for first timers while still challenging the seasoned practitioner.
In this class you will learn the practice of mind, body and breath connection and how it all works together to achieve a deeper, richer sense of your body's capabilities through, breath, mind and body connection. Enjoy being lead along a deep journey through yoga stretch focused on alignment, posture, flexibility and strength. With these tools you will gain wisdom on mindful practices, improving your energy, increasing flexibility and enlightening your spirit.
Sign up for either once, twice or all three times per week to get a class series price. Your class registration includes optional free swim time before or after class between 10am-5pm (pools closed 1:30-2PM for shift change), as well as relaxation time on the grounds, by the creek, etc. and access to the cafe (when the cafe is open–currently this is TBD, staffing dependent).
