"Yoga has changed my life in ways I never expected - grounding me, healing me, and giving me space of purpose I didn't even know I needed. The Skipper Ranch is a place that holds deep meaning for me, and guiding this retreat is my way of sharing that magic with others. My hope is that you leave feeling clearer, calmer, and more connected to yourself then when you arrived." ~Nathan Skipper

Yoga

All our yoga sessions will be hosted at different outside locations across the property. Our classes are designed to connect you with the natural beauty of the ranch, combining gentle movement, breathwork, and meditation. You'll flow through posses that harmonize with the rhythm of the land, leaving you feeling grounded and refreshed. Our classes are geared for all body types and any level of experience creating one environment open to all.

Massage

Buffy weaves together intuitive touch, deep listening, and energetic awareness to create massage sessions that go far beyond physical relaxation. As a licensed massage therapist, she blends traditional techniques with an attuned sensitivity to the body’s subtle energy fields. Her approach invites not only the release of muscular tension, but also the unwinding of stored emotions and stress—leaving the body lighter, the mind clearer, and the spirit more at ease. Each session is a sacred pause, a chance to reset, restore, and reconnect with your true self. Massage sessions are not included in the retreat price and are $120 per session.

Cosmic Sound Healing

Enter a field of pure vibration as Buffy guides you on a sound journey with crystal singing bowls, drums, chimes, and an array of eclectic instruments. Layered with her multidimensional voice, this ceremony is designed to clear the body of stored tension, balance the nervous system, and awaken the spirit to deeper states of clarity and peace. The frequencies ripple through every cell, creating a profound reset that participants often describe as floating, luminous, and deeply restorative.
