A Women's Yoga, Meditation, Hiking Retreat in Telluride
This August 31st - September 4th come along for an alpine retreat and adventure unlike any other. A nature bath in one of the most beautiful corners of Colorado for all women.
Imagine yourself surrendered by scenic mountains endless waterfalls, star gazing and unwinding in fresh mountain air with space to relax, explore, practice, meditate, practice, create, and connect, thrive, and adventure!
Join me for my annual Telluride Adventure Yoga Retreat in my favorite little mountain town in Colorado for an alignment-based yoga, hiking, meditation, and art retreat you’ll never forget.
Slow down, pause, and revel in daily yoga, the option to add a SUP workshop and paddle on Trout Lake, guided hikes, an art workshop, and more. We will slow down in our yoga practices to enjoy and explore the energetics and alignment of asanas, proper breath work, and a variety of guided mindful and vipassana meditations.
Students will also have the option to pop around town or simply soak up more time at the lodge, check out a local brewery, or get out for an epic guided adventure hike on the incredible Via Ferrata Hike with our trusted guides who work with a local company in Telluride.
All students are encouraged to join but basic outdoor knowledge and some hiking experience is encouraged as this is a high-altitude mountain retreat.
Retreat yourself and create space to slow down and share a wonderful long weekend with a fantastic group of adventurous, mindful, and nature-loving women.
-- Please note: we will all carpool to pick up boards together and then carpool to the lake if adding the optional SUP paddle and workshop~

LODGING:
***WE'VE UPGRADED OUR RETREAT LODGING!!
ESCAPE TO OUR LUXURY MOUNTAINSIDE RESORT IN TELLURIDE, The Peaks!
The spirit of the mountains is calling you to our luxurious mountain lodge in scenic Telluride. Nestled amongst majestic 14,000 foot peaks of Colorado's San Juan mountains and surrounded by acres of pristine ski terrain, our breathtaking resort exudes a chic, yet rustic charm that radiates serenity and luxury.
YOGA:
We will be practicing a strong, dynamic, and compassionate yoga practice and flow marrying together the traditions of Iyengar and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. We will slowly and mindfully weave our way through alignment-based practices each day taking time to workshop asanas and come-see-come-look moments giving students the opportunity to demo postures as we practice. Expect longer holds, break-downs of alignment and postures, and a focus on the breath. Classes are appropriate for all levels from beginners to advanced practitioners and teachers. We ask students to be truly curious and expect to take a deep and joyful dive into the practice and your own inner ecology and wilderness.
MEDITATION:
We will be practicing guided Vipassana and Mindful Meditation during the retreat including breath meditations, heart meditations such as the Loving Kindness/Metta Meditations, and compassion meditations.
HIKING:
We will be getting out for a couple of hikes during our time on retreat. They will be moderate in difficulty, however we are hiking at high elevation which can increase the difficulty. We will go easy and not push it too hard when hiking. We will take breaks for the group and listen to our needs.
Please bring good and supportive hiking shoes, a daypack to hike with, a reusable water bottle, a hat, sunscreen, and layers as we know Colorado weather can change in a flash.
