Immerse yourself in the mystical charm of Joshua Tree with our "Desert Goddess Retreat," a unique fusion of yoga, gastronomy, adventure, and sisterhood. This retreat signifies much more than relaxed holidays;  it's a sacred journey of self-discovery and empowering feminine connection.

The retreat embodies a sense of community and interconnection, providing ample opportunities for you to engage and connect with other like-minded women. Deep, meaningful conversations around bonfires and under the starlit desert skies, coupled with laughter and shared wisdom, create a strong goddess circle promoting mutual growth, respect and understanding. 

You don't have to be a serious yogi or have ever even owned a yoga mat to attend this retreat. We will feel the earthly connection and nourishment through mindful movement, channeling the strength and beauty of the goddess within. 

You'll discover the grandeur of Joshua Tree on our guided hikes, as you traverse through its stark, yet fascinatingly beautiful terrain. Designed to connect you with nature, these hikes are a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

Join me for signature Telluride adventure retreat. This will be my 10th year anniversary returning to Telluride and you're invited! Hike to waterfalls, bike ride through the valley floor to a local brewery, enjoy yoga on top of a mountain, soak in the on site hot tub, enjoy free hot breakfast, and treat yourself to an afternoon of mushroom foraging and a parade. You'll have the option to join the San Juan Outdoor School  for an epic adventure on the Via Ferrata for an additional fee. You'll have the best view of town as you hang 350 feet off the valley floor moving along a system of iron cables and rods. Or add in a paragliding experience to enjoy the town from a birds eye view with Tellyourideparagling.

Telluride has a brand new adventure activity, and it’s one that is bound to give you an adrenaline rush! Zipline Telluride! Soar above the canopy of trees while looking on at the San Juan mountain range all around you. Experience 5 ziplines, 2 aerial bridges, and 2 rappels. Reaching 140 feet off the ground, enjoy an adventure in the tree tops and a bird’s eye view of the surrounding San Juan Mountains that you’ll never forget!

I've been leading yoga retreats in Telluride since 2014 and they just keep getting better. Come solo or bring a friend, with shared lodging you'll never feel left out. There's plenty of downtime built in for rest and rejuvenation in-between our adventures. I know the best locals only secret hikes and have built great relationships with the local businesses to bring you great discounts. Our mountaintop yoga will complement all the hard work you do on the trail. This weekend is about building relationships, testing your physical and mental limits and enjoying all the beauty Telluride has to offer. If you've never been to this little mountain town you are in for a treat as it's like nothing else you've experienced.

All levels welcome although a basic fitness background is encouraged especially since this is a high elevation retreat. You can participate in as much or as little of the activities as you like.

This retreat sold out within 24 hours last year and I expect next year's to do the same. I cannot hold a spot without a deposit so don't delay and book today.

Re:Treat yourself is my motto and unlike some retreats where you feel you have to keep up with a group pace or apologize for taking time for yourself, I cater to those who want to show up and enjoy themselves without having to worry about a rigid schedule. If you are a beginner yogi or injured mover my classes will offer many modifications tailored to your needs. I have been hosting yoga retreats since 2014 all over the world and am eager to help you get the most out of our time together by blending a mix of culture, experiences, yoga and connectivity to provide you a weekend you'll never forget!
