Have you always wanted to explore the quaint mountain town of Telluride tucked into a box canyon surrounded by the majestic San Juan Mountains? Have you skied Telluride in the winter, but had no idea there was life beyond the snowy slopes? Could you use a retreat that combines wellness with hiking led by someone who's been hosting retreats since 2014 in the area and has all the knowledge of a local?
Then this retreat was curated for you!
Join us for the signature Telluride adventure retreat. This will be our 10th year returning to Telluride and you're invited! If you love hikes to waterfalls, bike riding through the valley floor to a local brewery, enjoying yoga on top of a mountain, rounded out by a cold plunge in the river outside your door and a soak in the on site hot tub then this retreat has everything you're looking for. You'll enjoy free hot breakfast provided by an on-site assistant then treat yourself to an afternoon Stand-Up Paddleboarding on a scenic alpine lake. You'll have the option to join the San Juan Outdoor School for an epic adventure on the Via Ferrata for an additional fee.
Your friends won't believe how fearless you are when they see photos of you hanging off a cliff 350 feet off the valley floor. Your family and friends will think you've lost your marbles when they see you've opted in for a morning paraglide experience to enjoy the town from a birds eye view with Tellyourideparagling.
Come solo or bring a friend, with shared lodging you'll never feel left out. There's plenty of downtime built in for rest and rejuvenation in-between our adventures. I know the best locals only secret hikes and have built great relationships with the local businesses to bring you great discounts. Our mountaintop yoga will complement all the hard work you do on the trail. This weekend is about building relationships, testing your physical and mental limits and enjoying all the beauty Telluride has to offer. If you've never been to this little mountain town you are in for a treat as it's like nothing else you've experienced and if you have been, you'll see it in a whole new light.
Re:Treat yourself is my motto and unlike some retreats where you feel you have to keep up with a group pace or apologize for taking time for yourself, I cater to those who want to show up and enjoy themselves without having to worry about a rigid schedule. If you are a beginner yogi or injured mover my classes will offer many modifications tailored to your needs. I have been hosting yoga retreats since 2014 all over the world and am eager to help you get the most out of our time together by blending a mix of culture, experiences, yoga and connectivity to provide you a weekend you'll never forget!

Kenneth Kinser Is the retired executive chef at Devil's Kitchen in Grand Junction. He honed his skills at the nationally recognized Yard House restaurant where he moved up in ranks to become their Executive Chef. He then went on to become the Executive Chef at the immensely popular Needle Rock Brewing Co. in Delta and, upon moving to Grand Junction, beat out 40 other applicants to be hired as the Executive Chef at the Devil's Kitchen. He's extremely talented and I approached him about curating an appetizer and meal option for our last night in Telluride that would include a signature drink. He will coordinate a menu that will include appetizers, a salad, veggies, main course and a desert and signature drink. Dietary requests will be honored.
You will have the option of choosing, as the main entree, a Vegan, Vegetarian or Meat option. If you do not eat red meat or fish then I recommend choosing the Vegetarian option. We make each entree according to how many choose the option so multiple options will not be available. A menu will be sent out prior to the event and upon booking you can choose your entree choice. You can change your option up to two weeks out. If you decide to opt in closer to retreat time you can pay prior to the experience as well.
If for some reason this experience cancels you will be refunded and an alternative activity/dinner will be planned.
Here is an example of the menu in 2022. The menu will change for 2023 but this is to give you a sample of what the offering might contain.

A detailed schedule with activities as well as a packing list will be provided before the retreat. I do not publish my schedule for privacy concerns and because I base my schedule off the weather and activities my clients book for the retreat. I have also had issues with copywriting and other competitors stealing my retreat ideas so please note that a schedule will only be sent prior to the retreat to paid in full guests.
Please read my cancellation policy here.
You will be asked to sign a waiver after booking the retreat where you also acknowledge all assumptions and risks signing up for this adventure retreat!
