Duration

5 days

About

Connect to nature, Self, and spirit on a wild & scenic remote yoga retreat experience.

5 days, 4 nights of pure mind, body, soul, and spirit rejuvenation on the Wild & Scenic Rogue River in Southern Oregon - one of the original rivers to be protected in the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act of 1968.

Float through the Rogue River Canyons, witness wildlife, swim rapids, pick wild blackberries, explore historical sites, and connect to yourself through meditation and asana (yoga flow) in the middle of it all.

Join Dallas and Leanne for morning/evening yoga by the river- vinyasa, guided meditation, restorative flow, guided meditation, yoga Nidra, breath-work, soul work chanting, and bathing in the healing sounds of nature.

Immerse yourself in the magical canyons of the wild & scenic Rogue River to feel a sense of peace, fun, a nervous system reset, and connection to your wild, natural Self.

Yoga mats are included, but you are welcome to bring your own!

Stay wild, flower! ~Dallas :)

On the float there are swimming rapids, swimming holes, natural water slides, hiking trails, waterfall exploring, side creek meandering, the Rogue River Ranch, and many interesting historical anecdotes of our early American history.
