Sanctuary One, in partnership with Southern Oregon OM in Medford, welcomes you to join us for Farm Flow, the return to our popular yoga retreat at the care farm. With over 55 acres in Oregon’s beautiful Applegate Valley, Sanctuary One provides a safe place for animals and a healing place for people while promoting environmental stewardship. During this four-hour retreat, Karyn Rankin, OM Studio Owner and Operator, will lead you through a gentle flow yoga class followed by guided meditation with the intention to deepen your connection to nature.
Practicing yoga amidst the breathtaking landscape of Sanctuary One amplifies the experience, offering a profound opportunity to express gratitude for the Earth’s gifts. Surrounded by the beauty of rolling hills, vibrant wildlife, and peaceful gardens, the land becomes not just a backdrop but a partner in the healing process. Every stretch and breath becomes a tribute to the earth beneath our feet, the sky above, and the creatures that call this sanctuary home.
In this tranquil environment, you’ll also have the chance to renew your commitment to environmental stewardship. As we practice gratitude and reflection, we are reminded of our responsibility to care for the Earth, to honor the delicate balance of nature, and to actively contribute to preserving the environment for future generations. This retreat serves as a powerful reminder that our well-being is deeply intertwined with the health of the planet, and through mindful practice, we can nurture both ourselves and the world around us.
The retreat will be held on Sunday, May 18, 2025 from 11am to 3pm at Sanctuary One (about a 30-minute drive from Jacksonville, OR). Lunch will be provided. All levels welcome. All proceeds benefit Sanctuary One. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants. Registration fee is $60 per person. Farm Flow shirts are available to purchase through Bonfire.

About Karyn Rankin:
Karyn has been practicing yoga on and off since 2005, but really started cultivating her own practice with Anchorage Yoga in 2014. She received her Yoga Teacher Training Certificate through IGNITE Wellness Collective in Scottsdale, AZ and has since plunged headfirst into teaching Vinyasa, Power Vinyasa, and Restorative YogaTouch classes at S.O.OM.
She has a passion for creating an inclusive space and for empowering others to develop their own personal yoga practice, all to the backdrop of vibey playlists. She loves diving into the historical and cultural aspects of yoga and sharing the depth of Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga.
When she’s not at the studio, Karyn loves spending time with her partner and their three daughters, baking, doing anything creative and artistic, and nurturing her extensive collection of houseplants.
