Whidbey Island, Washington
Yoga & Yoga Nidra Retreat
February 19 - 22, 2026
A weekend retreat devoted to cozy rejuvenation and care in the heart of a Pacific Northwest gem.
❤️
A retreat is a sweet way to pause, lighten any heaviness you may be carrying, and soften into the wisdom of your heart. Our experience will invite in all of the above through the practice of yoga, yoga nidra, time in nature and nutrient-rich food.
Our retreat home is The Captain Whidbey Inn, a gorgeous and unique getaway nestled among old growth firs on the shores of Whidbey Island. Since 1907, it has been a locus of natural beauty, community gathering and quiet, exalted delight.

Historic Lodge rooms are cozy accommodations at the heart of Captain Whidbey, taking on the air of a secret clubhouse up above the ship’s fray. Virtually unchanged from 1907, the traditions too remain. Shared bathrooms, creaky floorboards and the occasional glass clinking from the tavern below. The rooms are rustic, with views of Penn Cove or the garden.

How do I get there?
I recommend arriving via ferry. The ferry between Clinton on Whidbey Island and Mukilteo on the mainland runs from 5:30 a.m. until after midnight. For most of the day, two boats sail the route, providing service every half-hour.
The ferry runs between Coupeville on Whidbey Island and Pt. Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula. The schedule varies depending on the time of year. Two boats sail the route in the busy season.
Reservations are strongly recommended.
