It had been a long day.

Getting to Palm Springs for a sober retreat took some effort, but now that I am here, I feel like I could relax into the schedule.

A gathering for a Solo Social over drinks and icebreakers led to a formal Meet & Greet with a panel of sober coaches answering our questions about all things sober living while sipping on some Curious Exlihirs, Gruvi Dry Secco, H2O Hop Water, and other tasty drinks.

That’s what Sober In The City, a Zero Proof Experience, does — curates activities for guests so you can embrace your choice to be alcohol-free without having that conversation or feeling singled out by your choice not to drink with others around you.

Everyone there was on an alcohol-free journey, even if it was just remaining curious about cutting alcohol out of your life for a short time.

But now, it was time to unwind.

What better way to do that than with a Yinish style yoga?

Big Question Though

Do I wear my bathing suit under my yoga clothes, or do I come back to change?
