MEET YOUR TEACHERS

Becca Breining + Andrew Santos

Becca Breining (E-RYT 500)

Becca Breining (E-RYT 500) is a seasoned yoga teacher, former NBA dancer for the Sacramento Kings, and proud mom to her son Miles. With over 11 years of teaching experience, Becca is a 500-Hour Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher who has become known for her dynamic, creative, and purposeful yoga flows. She is the co-founder of Synchronize with Purpose, a yoga school dedicated to mentoring aspiring teachers through their journey to becoming Yoga Alliance certified.

Drawing from her dance background, Becca brings a unique blend of fluid movement, rhythm, and mindful sequencing to her classes, creating an experience that is both energizing and grounding. She has taught at four of the most popular yoga studios in Northern California, where her classes attract students of all levels who appreciate her ability to make yoga accessible, inspiring, and fun. Through her passion for teaching and mentoring, Becca helps students and teachers alike find purpose, balance, and confidence on and off the mat.

Andrew Santos (E-RYT 500)

Andrew Santos (E-RYT 500) is a dedicated yoga teacher with 15 years of experience. Starting off as a simple practice, Andrew immediately transitioned into an assistant, and eventually became a teacher in 2010 after taking his first teacher training with Anne Marie Kramer. Over the years, he has taken dozens of trainings, allowing him to teach different styles of yoga from Power Vinyasa, Yin, and Yoga Nidra. He has accumulated over 3000 hours of teaching and 800+ hours of facilitation, making him a seasoned and knowledgeable practitioner.

Andrew’s main passion behind teaching yoga is the philosophy. Whether it’s the breath or the asana, everything serves a purpose. Believing these teachings and the philosophy of yoga is slowly ingrained in ourselves every time we practice, he constantly reminds his students that if all they did was breathe and feel, they would be doing more than enough.

Blending the precision of his engineering background with the fluidity of yoga, Andrew creates classes that are both structured and transformative. Whether in the studio or online, he brings a unique perspective to every class, focusing on alignment, breath, and mindfulness to help students connect with their inner strength and peace.

THE RANCH at Castro valley

Your PRIVATE SANCTUARY

The Ranch @ Castro Valley is a beautiful, private villa located on 150 densely forested acres. You will wake up to sounds of the forest, stunning views of the canyon and a charming creek sweeping through the property. In two words, the setting is spectacular and peaceful.

The property includes a beautiful two story home with three large decks - one for dining, one with large two-person hammocks and a patio with a fire pit, and one for enjoying the view with a cup of tea or coffee, or taking a warm soak in the outdoor jacuzzi. There is a living room with rustic stone fireplace and an additional family room perfect for meals and connection.

All Private Suites have a large comfortable bed, great views and a large armoire for personal items. Rooms have a private shared or shared bathroom, and most of the rooms come with air conditioning. If you would like to have a room with AC, please let us know upon booking.

Room options will be first come, first serve.
