5-Day Retreat
Location: Capitol Reef National Park, Torrey, Utah
This retreat offers the best of both worlds - experience the wilderness and solitude of southern Utah’s magnificent canyon country from the comfort of upscale accommodations.
We will begin each day with a centering and grounding meditation. After breakfast, we will spend our days exploring the fascinating landforms of Capitol Reef National Park and the surrounding area. On one of the days, you will have the option to try canyoneering at one of the world's premier canyoneering destinations. Each day, we will incorporate a yoga practice into our explorations which provides participants the opportunity to practice in a setting that many describe as profoundly spiritual.
Following dinner, you have the option of an evening activity that highlights an aspect of the wilderness and mindful living. Afterwards, deepen your practice and relax your body through restorative yoga classes and long soaks in the hot tub.
This Yoga and Hiking Retreat offers the ideal combination of spectacular sights and soul-soothing rejuvenation. The retreat is open to all levels.
