About this trip

Experience a one-of-a-kind chance to explore Yellowstone National Park! Join us on a 5-day all-inclusive hiking and yoga retreat to this amazing world famous destination. Enjoy twice daily yoga sessions a day as well as hiking, sight-seeing,  and exploration opportunities!

All-Inclusive

Transportation from Salt Lake City International Airport to the retreat homes is included, as well as all planned activities and meals during your stay. Don't worry about any extra costs or hidden fees. Just sit back and relax.

Quality Food

We take food very seriously, and we know our guests do too. All meals are included during your stay, as well as snacks for your activities. We also offer gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options upon request. 

Yoga

Every retreat features a private yoga instructor who offers multiple classes during your stay. All classes are optional, which mean you can choose what you feel is right for you. 

Hiking

Yellowstone National Park contains some of the most spectacular hiking trails in the country. There are endless trails and absolutely breathtaking scenery.


While we aim to provide an incredible experience on our retreats, we want to clarify that we are not permitted to operate as official tour guides within Yellowstone National Park or similar protected areas. National Park regulations require specific permits and certifications to guide hikes, which we do not hold. Instead, all hiking on our retreats is self-guided. We provide detailed information, recommendations, and resources to help you enjoy the trails safely and confidently. This approach allows us to focus on creating a holistic retreat experience, including wellness activities, accommodations, and other unique offerings, while respecting the park’s guidelines.

National Park Access

Our retreat home is located just outside of Yellowstone National Park near Island Park, Idaho. We take you into the parks and drop you off where you need to go (no parking required). Entry to the park is also included with your booking.

Relaxation & Rejuvenation

You deserve a little "me time." That's why each retreat has built-in leisure time so you can relax in the hot tub, journal, or take a nap. All activities are optional so that you can enjoy your retreat at your own pace.

Just got back from the Sedona Hiking and Yoga retreat. It was wonderful! The weather was great every day and the town of Sedona is beautiful with lots to look at. All of the hikes were a little different and varied in difficulty which was perfect. Shantel's yoga practices were wonderful for getting my body going in the morning and recovering from a long hike. All of the meals prepared by Amber were AMAZING!! No worries about not getting enough to eat that's for sure! This was my second trip with walker wellness and they have both been top notch. The great part is walker takes care of everything, accommodations, transportation, permits, food, yoga, parking etc.
By Kendra H for Sedona Hiking & Yoga on Apr 03, 2025
Sedona completely exceeded my expectations. Our retreat host was exceptional, as well as our chef. The hiking excursions were beyond belief. The yoga, sound baths, meditation were delivered with intention and care. And of course, the accommodations were phenomenal. The retreat home was comfortable, quiet, and spacious. An added bonus was the hot tub overlooking the beautiful scenery of Sedona. Just the perfect trip can’t wait to travel with Walker wellness again.

I met Amy who planner of the Walker Wellness Retreat three years ago in Puru trip. I was very impressed with everything she planned. I am more than satisfied with this trip to New Zealand and Sydney. It was such a wonderful journey beyond words. I am truly grateful and dream of a trip through her soon. Thank you so much.
By Sabina A for Discover New Zealand & Australia on Mar 26, 2025
A beautiful varied adventure of both the North and South Islands of NZ and Sydney, AUS. Amy so creatively put this trip together and balanced days of hiking, nature, cultural experiences and wine tasting. We stayed in stunning locations, truly each hotel was wonderful and gave us independence to be a hub as we explored on our own as well. This trip far exceeded our expectations!
By Kristen N for Discover New Zealand & Australia on Mar 23, 2025
Thank you so much, Kristen! We’re thrilled to hear the trip exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the balance of adventure, culture, and relaxation. It was a joy to plan this journey for you, and we’re so glad New Zealand and Australia left such a beautiful impression! Can't wait for our next adventure together.

Amy at Walker Wellness Retreats helped us create a 2-week dream itinerary through Egypt - from Cairo to Luxor - with a final stop in Petra (Jordan). The trip was unforgettable, and the partnership with the exceptional local team (Your Egypt Tours) was seamless. Responsive and flexible, we appreciated all the help in making the trip happen.
