About this trip

Accommodation

The Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort is a very unique place. It attracts adventurous nature lovers and international travelers. Nestled on a hillside, the Bug has cabins, tent cabins,  and hostel dorms scattered around the property, so be prepared to do a bit of walking. Each cabin has a uniquely themed decor ranging from western to retro. You never know what you're going to get. The Bug hosts groups and individuals and has a lot going on. It is not a retreat center, so expect other people to be around and a lively atmosphere. It is completely set in nature and there are trails and many places around the property for peace and contemplation. It reminds me of an adult summer camp with amazing food, awesome spa amenities, and friendly staff.

Spa and Yoga Room

The spa and yoga room is a beautiful relaxing oasis. There's a chemical free hot tub, sauna, tea bar, and cold rainwater shower.  There are massages and private soaks available at an extra cost.


* The Spas public hours are from 5pm to 9:45pm due to Covid. 


*We will use the Bodie room instead of the the Yoga room, to allow for social distancing. It's not as pretty but it's huge. 


The yoga room has all props available. Some of the mats are a little worn, so bringing your own mat would be a good idea. 

Visiting Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park is 26 miles away which takes about an hour to drive. Keep that in mind if you want to make it back for the evening session. Park entrance fees are $33/ per car for 3 consecutive days. Reservations are required due to limited park entrance. They book up fast so don't leave it to the last minute. You can also book a seat on the Yarts bus which picks up at the Bug near the main Hwy. Entrance fee is included in ticket.


Since our retreat is jam packed with workshops and activites, you may want to book an extra night to spend more time at the park.

Anna is by far one of the best Yoga retreat leaders in the field! She offers several different options for the Yoga positions and moves, allowing for people to choose at their own level. As a meditation practicianer leading us through different modalities, she is exceptional in that her learned style and methods really allow a person to find deeper levels in their meditative experience. And her arranging Paul to come for the Sound Healing Bath was absolutely amazing! You will want to come to one of Anna's retreats in the future!

This was one of the best yoga retreats I’ve been to . The space was amazing immerse in the green valley, nested in the mountains of Yosemiti . The cabins were really cute and the yoga was so good! I love how Anna lead the way for us to have a spiritual connection with nature and with ourselves . We swam in a frigid waters of the water hole with a waterfall . Had an amazing sound bath followed by an impromptu jam session!! The food was delicious !! Oh my god ! Huge portions and gourmet !!! What a plus ! And the breath work workshop was just a. One in a life time experience you don’t always get to have . I highly recommend to anyone to signup for Anna’s retreats because you will have the time of your life !!

We had a wonderful time! The Yoga and meditation was the best I've ever experienced! Anna's extensive training and experiences shine through her routines and practices. She had many different poses and techniques that were used. Also, her things to do that were optional were also fun! I've done several retreats with Anna and always find them the best ever! Love her soothing voice and gentle, loving spirit! Anyone thinking of coming - join the next one! You will experience a retreat of a lifetime!

Anna did a marvelous job planning and organizing this retreat! We were thrilled with her detailed communication and her scheduling. All of her classes were well planned and thoroughly relaxing and invigorating at the same time! The facility was wonderful, including the yoga room, food and spa. We definitely hope to participate in future trips with Anna.
By Cynthia T for Renewal Retreat: Yosemite, Yoga, Meditation, Spa and Sound Bath on Aug 11, 2021
This whole retreat had a wonderfully relaxing, fun, community vibe. Anna does a wonderful job planning and executing a well-balanced event with a combination of meditation, asana and restorative work. She provides a good deal of free time and encourages time together, but maintains an accepting attitude toward those who are less inclined to join the group. The overall feeling during this retreat embraced the true spirit of yoga.
