The Coast Ridge micro-farm & gardens are at the heart of our educational & immersive experience. They serve as inspiration for what is possible through principles of permaculture, stewardship, sustainable & regenerative practices. In stewarding the land with these principles, we are reminded of the deep connection between ourselves, the land which sustains us & the positive impact our daily choices can make.  It was with this intention the founders of The Coast Ridge created the life expanding offering of The 4 Day Reboot program; bringing together elements of movement in nature, daily self care rituals and the importance of nourishing with plant based local organic farm fresh produce; all the while exploring the connection between stewardship of self and planet. Through experiencing the elements of the program, the understanding becomes more than theory; it’s an ‘aha moment!’ for many of our guests and catalyst to change.

Yarrow has devoted his life to exploring the restorative powers of nature. Born in California’s Eastern Sierras, his childhood summers in the backcountry sparked a lifelong connection to the inspiring and healing forces of the natural world.

As a youth in Santa Fe, New Mexico, he discovered yoga and other spiritual practices that deepened his understanding of moving meditation and regeneration through nature. Influenced by his parents’ love of our natural environment and gardening, Yarrow’s curiosity led him to study sustainable living—an exploration that brought him to Ali Sharif, who introduced him to Permaculture: a design philosophy that models human systems on the self-sustaining patterns of natural ecosystems.

This path took him to Brazil, where he lived for ten years and co-founded OPA, an NGO working with youth on ecological sustainability and community resilience. Part of a larger permaculture network, the work expanded his joy of guiding people and reinforced his understanding that the sustainability of the planet and the sustainability of self are deeply interwoven.

Returning to California, Yarrow continued his search for places that inspired true lifestyle transformation. He joined The Ashram, one of the most renowned and pioneering health and wellness retreats in the U.S., known for its integration of movement, clean eating, nature immersion, and joy.

Inspired by a shared passion for movement in nature, land stewardship, and farm-to-table living, together with Angela, Yarrow created The Coast Ridge. This life style experience invites guests to rediscover healthier choices, reconnect to nature, and regeneration of body and mind, while deepening the essential connection between how our food is grown, our personal health, and the health of the planet. Through this work, Yarrow continues to guide others toward the same profound connection with nature that has shaped his own life.
