This spring enjoy an alpine retreat in Aspen, Colorado.  5 days to nourish, practice, relax, create, explore, connect, soak, and return to our true nature. 


A moment to slow down and celebrate life and the beauty of our being, just as we are. We'll ground and enjoy daily yoga and meditation practices, we'll explore and get out and into nature with hikes and outings in the area, we'll nourish with as much hot springs soaking and swimming on site as our hearts desire, and take time to connect with other wonderful kindred sprits, ourselves, and the beauty of Mother Nature dripping in abundance everywhere that meets our gaze. We'll be staying at the beautiful hotel in Aspen, Colorado. 



***Most days will include 2 yoga practices, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. 


Shared lodging will be included with the retreat, however private lodging is available at an extra cost. 


We will not be including meals in this retreat with exception of one dinner to keep this retreat priced more affordably and for ease of meals and interactions around Covid and the pandemic.


Email us any questions at floatandflowllc@gmail.com and we'll see you in Colorado next summer for 5 incredible days together on retreat in one of the most beautiful and scenic areas of Colorado and the U.S.! 





YOGA

We will be practicing once some days, and twice on most days and will be explore breath work, precise alignment and energetics of postures, the blueprint postures, meditation, reading and seeing bodies, the 8 limbs of yoga and living our yoga off the mat, restoratives, and more. We will begin most days with a morning practice and meet back on the mat in the afternoon for a workshop and asana lab to dive into and break down the asanas and practice in greater depth. 



MEDITATION

We will enjoy guided meditation and will explore the style of Vipassana meditation also known as insight meditation. Within this style we will explore a variety of methods including breath meditation, and heart meditations including a compassion meditation and a metta or living kindness meditation. We will talk about the basics of meditation, finding a comfortable seat, and the roots of mindfulness.



HIKING

Aspen is the perfect base camp for hikers.  Within 5-15 minute car travel, there are at least 8-10 trailheads that feature easy to difficult hikes.  To name a few; Maroon Bells, Snowmass Trails, Avalanche Creek, Perham Creek, East Creek, Placita Trail, Raspberry Ridge, Carbonate Creek…. All beautiful, Rocky Mountain hikes. If it is snowing which is likely, attendees are welcome to bring their own snowshoes or rent some and we can snowshoe. 






COVID 19 

I care deeply about the well-being of every student, of our communities, and of humankind in general so we will be taking precautions to ensure the most safe, nourishing, easeful, and meaningful retreat experience for all.

We will be staying on top of how Covid progresses in Colorado, the CDC suggestions, county Covid policies, and will be asking or suggesting that everyone attending the retreat take a Covid test within 72 hours of attending and provide negative results so that we can move through the retreat more safely and with greater peace of mind.  We will be wearing masks when out and about, hiking, or when we cannot distance from others, social distancing, taking on-your-honor daily temp checks individually, washing hands frequently, and will make sure to be careful in the days and weeks leading up to the retreat, as as we travel to and from the retreat.

Thank you and I look forward to practicing with you soon in the mountains, xo

BIO:

Southern Utah native Mary Susan Stults has been practicing Yoga for over 27 years since she was a young girl, surfing whenever she can for 20 years, and paddleboarding for over 10 years now. 


Born in Fort Payne, Alabama, Mary Susan was raised in Cedar City, a town in southwest Utah about an hour from Zion National Park. Mary Susan, an avid nature lover, grew up exploring the many hiking trails, rivers, rocks, mountains, canyons, and the endless outdoor beauty of Utah and Colorado with her friends and family. Despite growing up landlocked Mary grew up with a deep love and appreciation for the ocean and water and that passion has only grown with each passing year.After moving to Boulder, Colorado in 2001 to attend the University of Colorado-Boulder, she made Colorado her home for over 20 years including two years as a child in Colorado Springs before moving to Kauai, Hawaii in 2018. You can often find this nature lover hiking or biking on a trail, paddling, surfing, practicing yoga on the water, camping in the mountains or desert, or exploring her yoga practice outdoors! 


Mary Susan loves to share her passion for the outdoors and adventure with those around her, which has led her to plan and lead Yoga retreats and adventure Yoga, surfing, Stand Up Paddleboarding, and hiking retreats in the US and abroad.An absolute people person, Mary has taught Yoga for adults, all-ages, family, adaptive, tweens, teens, kids, and tots for over 6 years, and is a certified 500+HR E RYT Yoga & Meditation teacher, educator, and practitioner, a WPA/Paddle Into Fitness Certified Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) and SUP Yoga teacher, certified Kids Yoga teacher, certified Adaptive Yoga teacher, and is known by all for her enthusiasm and positive outlook. 


Many describe her energy as contagious, finding her nurturing and patient style of teaching to be welcoming and supportive. She infuses her Yoga, SUP, and SUP Yoga classes, workshops, and retreats with her grounded yet light-hearted nature. For Mary, being a student of the practice of yoga is as important as being a teacher. When she is not working and teaching herself you can often find her in a teacher training or yoga intensive somewhere around the world with her forever teacher, Maty Ezraty with whom she has completed over a thousand hours of formal training, and countless hours of informal training, study and mentorship with Maty. She hopes to help others delve into what it means to live well physically, mentally, and spiritually, by exploring and developing their own yoga and meditation practice, and translating the joy, strength, confidence, mindfulness, balance, compassion, awareness, and grace that we find on the mat, into our lives off the mat. 


Mary teaches Yoga, SUP, SUP Yoga, and Meditation retreats, classes, workshops, trainings, intensives, and events at home on Kauai and through the USA and internationally her company’s Float & Flow Yoga & SUP, Kauai SUP Yoga, Strong As A Woman, Mermaids at Work, and Adventure Yoga For Kids throughout Denver, Boulder, and beyond.

A wonderful retreat with Mary and new friends on the beautiful island of Kauai!! My first time on the island… simply an amazing place! Mary was not only a great yoga instructor but her shared island adventures with us was just perfect! Beautiful accommodations, fun shopping, beach cleanup day, shared meals, paddle boarding, plenty of sun & surf, lei making and many breathtaking site seeing photo opportunities …. An all around wonderful trip!! Thank you Mary for a memorable experience!!

I enjoyed the kids yoga teacher training. Mary Stults is a wealth of information. I am excited to get started.
By Barbara P for Kids Yoga Teacher Training with Adventure Yoga For Kids (50HR) on Oct 10, 2023
This trip was so great!! I had the pleasure of attending this trip in the past and couldn't wait to attend again. things have only gotten better since I last went. All of the accommodations were great, close to shops and events, and the activities are well thought out and things I would not have thought of myself. The paddle along the cliff sides is breathtaking, and the VIP experience at Cova d'en Xoroi is a once in a lifetime experience. i wouldn't hesitate to attend more Trips with Mary Susan.
By Brandon S for The Spain Adventure Trip on Sep 28, 2023
Thank you, Mary for the experience of a lifetime! Mary was very prepared for any and all circumstances during our many adventures, most of which I can personally say gave me the assurance and comfort to have the best day ever on our excursions. Mary provided all dietary accommodations offered at each food venue, gave valuable insights on local customs and celebrations, personally vetted and obtained trusting relationships with all activity guides, prioritized safety protocols, and prepared a backup plan for all the weather interruptions on the trip. More importantly, at each major point in the trip she was conscious of each person’s needs for well being and rest. I personally could not have had a successful boating excursion without her peppermint oil and her guidance on how to position oneself on the boat. I also appreciated when, after seeing our state of being after a full day, she offered a lovely and deeply thoughtful meditation instead of her personalized yoga class (which I can attest gives invaluable insight into improving foundational yoga poses). I want to note that her yoga practice is not strictly abiding, and she values the allowance and space to move in a way that suits each body and mind. With no stone unturned, she offered a wide array of accessible yoga and meditation resources after the trip with thoughtful detail via email, and shared amazing photos that we could all view on all devices. Everyday offered something new and exciting, as she allowed space on the itinerary to offer some fun evening activities based on special events. We were in awe of Barcelona and Menorca for its beauty and its people. I’m grateful for Mary’s nurturing and knowledgeable approach to all her activities, as well as the friendships formed with each lovely woman on the trip. If you want countless opportunities for something your soul can smile about, I would go on one of her adventures.

It was an amazing trip! Mary had everything planned, tickets purchased, and all we had to do was show up! All the adventures were amazing! 100% worth it!
