We are deeply honored that Senior Intermediate level Certified Iyengar Yoga teacher Marla Apt returns for her eleventh season at the Ranch to share her gift with students who are primed to deepen their commitment to consistent, daily practice. Embraced and surrounded by the majesty of the Rocky Mountains and nourished by artfully prepared vegetarian cuisine, this very special week offers a rare opportunity for undistracted and fully supported focus on cultivating self-knowledge.

Between daily classes with Marla, you’ll enjoy ample time to absorb the benefits of your practice in an idyllic and inspiring big sky setting where clean mountain air, the soothing fragrance of pines, and star-studded night skies combine to lovingly reset body, mind, and spirit.
