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 spent his life teaching about the restorative powers of nature. Born in the Eastern Sierras of California, he spent his childhood summers in the backcountry with his family. These extended stays in the mountains planted the seed for his lifelong respect for nature’s inspiring and healing forces.  Moving to Santa Fe, NM as a youth, he was exposed to spiritual and yogic teachings, eventually meeting the mentor who would introduce him to Brazil. There he co-founded OPA (Organizacion de Permacultura y Arte), an NGO working with youth and ecological sustainability rooted in the philosophy of Permaculture. During his ten years in Brazil, Yarrow organized many group excursions throughout the country, taught courses, fundraised, and established two community centers, one in the urban center of Salvador, Bahia and another in the nearby village of Diogo. These programs continue to serve their communities by providing education in land preservation and sustainable living.

Returning to his birthplace of California, Yarrow began working at The Ashram, one of the most renowned and exclusive health and wellness boot camps in the US.   Over the past six years he has further honed his skills, coaching groups and individuals through their health and wellness transformations.  Guided by his passion for movement exploration through yoga, rock climbing, hiking, surfing and Capoeira, Yarrow continues to be inspired by the abilities of the body and mind to reconnect in order to find focus, balance and clarity through nature and motion.  Yarrow, along with his wife Angela, created The Coast Ridge as a place for the rediscovery of healthier life choices, reconnection to nature, and care-taking for the self. We must truly know our bodies and our surroundings in order to care for them.
