Topanga Retreat at The Commune
March 13-15, 2026 | Led by Sahara George
Join Sahara George as we return to The Commune Topanga, a local oasis and place for connection and discovery. It is a place to absorb the wisdom of the world’s greatest teachers. It is a place to slow down and reconnect with yourself and your practice.
About the Location
The Topanga Commune is a place for connection and discovery. It is a place to absorb the wisdom of the world’s greatest teachers. It is a place to slow down and move your brain into long-wave thoughts. It is a place to practice, garden and cook, But, most of all, it is designed to foster deep levels of connection between people in real life.
From beautiful practice spaces, to a tea lounge, to countless nooks and epic perches, the Topanga Commune is a place to do just that: commune – with a higher spirit, with nature, and, most of all, with each other.
At the end of the end, perched atop a remote valley of the Santa Monica mountains, there is the Topanga Commune. 10 acres of meandering paths, oak trees, palms and gardens abutting state land. Only thirty minutes from most of Los Angeles but it feels like a million miles away.

About Your Leaders
Sahara George
Yoga Instructor
During my time as an undergrad at UC Irvine, I did all of my studying from my yoga mat. As a burned-out Summa Cum Laude grad, I took a break from researching the brain and completed my yoga teacher training under yogi and post-doctoral scholar Dr. Mitra Hooshmand. Mitra, being a researcher of spinal cord injuries, taught me to be respectful of Yoga’s aphorisms while building a strong understanding and love of anatomy, physiology and safety within the practice.
I’ve been teaching yoga since 2014 and have since become even more enamored with the mechanics of the human body. After working in a variety of Physical Therapy settings since 2019, my teaching style has become more focused on mobility and functional movement. You can certainly expect to encounter traditional yoga postures and attention to breath, but I’ll offer creative and intelligently sequenced transitions to arrive there.
I strive to constantly educate myself and make space for humans of all kinds on the mat. I may offer a challenge in your practice, but know that I’ll always offer gentle, safe options for all levels in class.
