Sari Gelzer Stankowski, RYT 500, created Soul Refresh when she moved to Vacaville and felt like she had come upon the most amazing hidden gems in the community: the local farms and vineyards that abounded in solano and yolo county. Behind these farms were creative and heart-centered people and she was lucky enough to create partnerships with them so that she could invite people to all of her "happy places" for a soul refresh.

A soul refresh? Yes! As a new mom she knew the importance of getting away from the work and routines to gain a sense of freedom. Some Saturdays she just wanted to wake up and get outside with like-minded people. She made sure to design these events so that they were deeply rejuvenating while still respecting your time.

With years of experience guiding students in yoga and meditation in the Bay Area she was ready to craft unique experiences that used Ayurvedic principles to connect participants with the nature that surrounded them. Connecting with nature, she believes, helps us understand and support our mental/emotional selves. Each experience offers an all-levels yoga asana practice that builds strength and creates openness and ease in the body. In addition, there is always a special guided meditation that connects to the overall theme. And for the most fun part, each Soul Refresh experience has a delicious treat at the end so that all of your senses are engaged - wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't enjoy the bounty of our unique locale?
