About this trip

Parks and Poses! If you're looking to check off all the National Parks from your bucket list travels then you'll love the latest retreat in my Parks and Poses series. Yosemite is famed for its giant, ancient sequoia trees, and for Tunnel View, the iconic vista of towering Bridalveil Fall and the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome. In Yosemite Village you can find shops, restaurants, the Yosemite Museum and the Ansel Adams Gallery. 


We will be staying at the Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort   

which is right off the Central Yosemite Highway. This rustic lodge is 25 miles from the iconic park and there's a transit stop right in front of the lodge. A RT shuttle pass to the park is $12 or you can drive in as well ($30 per car, lasts 7 days or free with a National Parks pass).


Our days will be spent enjoying yoga, the spa at the Yosemite Bug and exploring the trails within the park. This retreat is perfect for those who love to hike, disconnect from the stress of day-to-day-life, enjoys yoga and meeting new people. You can participate in any or all activities and no yoga experience is necessary although a moderate fitness level for the hikes is encouraged. 


About your stay at the Yosemite Bug

 I have reserved 6 rooms that all have love and character and come in a variety of bed types for couples to solo travelers. These duplex cabins at 300sf each all have forest views and decks with tables and chairs. Not so rustic with fine linens, fine bath products, towels, showers, heat, coolers and wi-fi. The rustic reflects in the lack of TV’s or phones and remote parking.  


All day access to the spa is included in your package (excluding departure day). The spa is open from 10am-10pm. The spa is equipped with a H2o2 UV spring fed stainless steel hot tub, cold-rain shower, cedar hot-rock sauna, and a seven jet shower in their deluxe changing rooms. Guests can also (for an additional cost) receive massages, body-scrubs, specialty baths in private tubs in-between yoga classes. All spa rooms open out to the large sunny decks where you can relax with your refreshment of choice or read a book. 

Food is included!

Cost includes breakfast, dinner and sack lunches for our on-the-go adventures in the park. Tea, water, coffee and gratuity are also included. The restaurant onsite serves organic fresh food (much of which is sourced from their own garden) and is open from 7am-10am, 11am-2pm and 6-9pm. If you choose not to adventure with us in the park or would like breakfast before yoga or instead of yoga you are free to dine at your own leisure!


Vegan and Vegetarian Meals Available! Please peek at the ever changing food menu for more info:  https://www.yosemitebug.com/cafe/

About Yosemite in September

Fall is a great time to visit Yosemite Valley. The crowds thin out dramatically after Labor Day, and daytime temperatures start to cool down. As a result, September is one of the best months for hiking and rock climbing in Yosemite Valley. You'll find dark skies in Yosemite, which is hundreds of miles from major cities. With a star chart, you'll be able to identify some of the formations you may never have seen before. You may be able to see up to 15,000 stars in the park's sky in comparison to 500 or so in an urban sky.


Updated Cancellation Policy

Updated Booking Terms and Conditions due to COVID-19:

As of April 2020, all expeditions departing from 1 June 2020 will continue as planned. If there are any changes, or if your trip is suspended, you will be notified directly. If you choose to suspend your retreat departing from 1 June 2020, you will receive a credit of monies paid to use towards an alternative tour with a departure date before 20 April 2022 (excluding international travel retreats since I work with different vendors and booking companies for those retreats which have their own refund and credit policies).

Given the unprecedented impact of COVID-19, I have been adapting my booking conditions and cancellation policy regularly in response to evolving nature of the situation. The scale of the pandemic has yet to be understood and I am trying to communicate any changes to these terms as quickly as I can in order to be transparent with customers. I am doing my best for those that also rely on my business and providing travel credits helps me do that as well as ensures I am able to run future expeditions. Thank you for understanding!


All deposits are non-refundable.  Please see more about my refund policy for all retreats here:  http://yogimagee.com/cancellationpolicy/

I'm a full time adventurer and part-time flight attendant who's love of the outdoors means that hiking is my moving meditation. I believe in empowering you to live your yoga off the mat and my retreats will challenge you to change your perception of what you're capable of. When you adventure with me I'll be your biggest cheerleader and together we will conquer mountains! I know your time is valuable and your vacations are limited so I'm here to make sure you get the most out of wherever we visit.

The retreat and Natalie exceeded my expectations! She was easy going, yet super organized and SO fun!! It was so wonderful to not have to plan anything while we were there. It was great to just show up and enjoy yoga, then breakfast and then return for a waterfall hike, etc. and there was no pressure at all if anyone wanted to skip things and chill. I went with my step daughter and soon to be daughter in law and we had a BLAST! All of the women in the group were wonderful, kind, inspirational women. I will definitely book another retread with Natalie!!

I couldn't have dreamed up a better trip! Natalie has a way of bringing together the most incredible individuals, and we all bonded this weekend over a series of activities that were equally rejuvenating and exciting. Plus, Telluride is one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. 10/10 would recommend it!

I didn't realize how much I needed something like this until I was there. Great group of women, great food, and wonderful options to try new things, but also zero pressure if you just need some down time.

I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend this retreat with my daughters. The women who attended were so much fun! I walked into the condo with my daughters and left with 10 new friends! The food was wonderful and there was never any pressure to join anything you didn’t feel up to…. This is my second time attending and we will definitely be going again. A HUGE thank you to Natalie for making each and every one of us feel comfortable being our authentic selves and providing the environment to do that….

Natalie, I want to thank you for hosting a memorable retreat for my bestie and I. When she initially asked I was hesitant, I am not all that into yoga and wouldn't know how to do the poses. Your instruction was comforting and even if I had never done yoga I would have been able to get into the poses with the way you cued. But it wasn't just a yoga retreat. It was a freaking awesome ADVENTURE. The views from the hikes, the waterfalls, and the via ferrata were all breathtaking. I know that a group of female strangers getting together isn't for everyone but personally I think we made some lasting friends. Thank you, I know Jess and I will be back!
By Nicole M for Re:treat hOMe to Telluride August 2022 on Sep 02, 2022
I’m so glad you came and had the most amazing Via Ferrata day with your bestie! I will never forget our night on the town with the care bear stare 😂 - can’t wait to adventure again soon!!

Had followed Yogi Magee on Instagram for a while and was determined to make one of her adventure trips. Recently attended her “Om in the Ojo” retreat to Santa Fe and I can not positively rave enough! Natalie was so warm and welcoming to everyone. I am not an experienced yogi but she never made me feel self conscious or intimidated. She encouraged me and built my self confidence with each session. Natalie has everything planned perfectly and precisely but every activity was relaxed and flowed effortlessly. There was no pressure to participate in every activity though I could not get enough!! With her encouragement, I deeply bonded with the other women on the retreat and have kept in touch since the adventure. One of the things I loved the most was she had her friend, a extremely talented photographer, capture the whole trip with gorgeous pictures I will treasure forever. Oh, and don’t even get me started on the awesome swag bag!!! I highly recommend Yogi Adventures and can not wait to go on another trip she hosts!
