Reconnect & Renew | A Restorative Yoga Retreat at Ojo Santa Fe
November 13th - 17th, 2025
Nestled in the serene high desert just outside Santa Fe, this wellness retreat offers a peaceful and rejuvenating long weekend filled with yoga, connection, and natural healing. Over four nourishing nights, we’ll gather at Ojo Santa Fe Spa Resort, a tranquil sanctuary celebrated for its mineral-rich thermal waters, peaceful gardens, and grounding stillness.
Each morning begins with an energizing yoga practice to awaken your body and center your mind. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy, soaking in the healing waters, wandering the scenic walking trails, or indulging in a spa treatment. As evening falls, we’ll shift into slower, more restorative practices and gather in the Moon House, our private retreat space, for reflection and community.
Whether you’re seeking deep rest, gentle movement, or space to reconnect with yourself, this retreat is intentionally designed to nourish your body, calm your mind, and restore your spirit from the inside out.
Effortless Experience, Deeply Nourishing
One of the most cherished aspects of traveling with Walker Wellness Retreats is how effortless it all feels. From the moment you arrive, every detail is thoughtfully arranged, including luxurious accommodations, nourishing meals, daily yoga sessions, guided group activities, and unlimited access to Ojo’s soothing thermal pools.
We handle the logistics so you can focus on what truly matters: rest, movement, and meaningful connection. From seamless airport transfers to curated wellness experiences, including workshops and healing ceremonies, each retreat is intentionally designed to feel supportive, seamless, and soulfully enriching from start to finish.
Nourishment with Intention
Throughout your stay, you'll enjoy fresh, locally inspired meals thoughtfully prepared to support your wellness journey. Guests will order directly from the resort's curated menu, which offers a variety of delicious and nourishing options.
Whether you're dining in the peaceful ambiance of the Moon House or gathering outdoors beneath the Santa Fe sky, each meal is designed to be light yet satisfying, full of flavor, and crafted to leave you feeling your best. We're happy to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs and preferences, and we always strive to make mealtimes a meaningful and memorable part of your retreat experience.
Yoga to Support Your Retreat Journey
Each day includes thoughtfully designed yoga sessions that align with the retreat's natural rhythm, an energizing morning practice to awaken and align the body, and a slower, restorative evening session to promote relaxation and integration.
Led by experienced instructors, our classes are welcoming, accessible to all levels, and rooted in movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. Morning practices are held in Ojo's tranquil yoga space, while evening sessions may take place in the private Moon House or outdoors, weather permitting, under the high desert sky.
Whether you're new to yoga or deepening a longtime practice, these sessions are crafted to help you reconnect with yourself and return home feeling balanced, grounded, and renewed.
Soak, Slow Down & Restore | Healing Waters & Spa Experiences
A central part of your retreat experience at Ojo Santa Fe is the opportunity to fully unwind in the healing power of water. Daily access to the resort’s private, spring-fed soaking pools invites you to slow down, release tension, and reconnect with yourself in a deeply therapeutic setting.
Rich in natural minerals and surrounded by serene desert landscapes, these thermal waters have long been revered for their restorative benefits—supporting relaxation, improving circulation, and calming the nervous system.
In addition to the soaking pools, guests can choose from a menu of optional spa treatments designed to enhance your self-care journey—from custom massages and body therapies to skin treatments and wellness rituals. Whether soaking in stillness, receiving a nurturing treatment, or simply savoring the quiet, this is your time to rest, restore, and receive.
Let this be your invitation to pause, soften, and fully indulge in the healing support your body and spirit deserve.
The Santa Fe Sojourn | A Retreat to Truly Exhale
This retreat is thoughtfully crafted to help you slow down and fully exhale. From the moment you arrive at Ojo Santa Fe, the pace of life softens, inviting you into gentle yoga sessions, quiet mornings, and open afternoons designed to encourage rest without guilt, recharge without pressure, and reconnect with your natural rhythm.
Spend your days soaking in the warm mineral springs, indulging in spa treatments, wandering the lush gardens, or simply curling up with a book, letting the stillness gently restore your body, mind, and spirit.
The Santa Fe Sojourn offers a rare and precious chance to step away from the noise of daily life and create the space you need for deep restoration and renewal.
