Restore and Paddle: Lake Powell SUP, Hikes & Yoga Retreat (Page, AZ)

Read the full experience

Lake Powell is a high-desert reservoir straddling northern Arizona and southern Utah; this retreat gathers in Page, AZ, as the launch point for paddles, hikes and sunrise meditations. Explore & Restore: Lake Powell Retreat, run by FloYo Travels, is a four-night, five-day program that blends daily yoga, guided hikes, and paddleboarding among red-rock canyons. The experience centers on a luxury lakeview home with pool and hot tub, chef-prepared breakfasts and dinners, and enough lounge time to make restoration a practice, not a checklist. Days start with poolside yoga taught by Kim Brooks and Jessie Benson, then split between optional SUP sessions—choose Antelope Canyon Paddle & Hike or a Lone Rock Beach float—and short guided hikes like the Toadstools. One ritual is a sunrise meditation and yoga at Horseshoe Bend; another is an evening bonfire and group dinner back at the house. Adventurous add-ons let paddlers arrive early to join Jessie for a 16-mile paddle from Glen Canyon Dam around Horseshoe Bend (expect 6–9 hours on the water). Group paddles are geared toward experienced paddlers; novices may substitute additional hikes, yoga, or attend a pre-retreat lesson hosted at B'More SUP. The itinerary balances movement with restoration: meditation, reiki options, free afternoons to explore Page or soak in the hot tub. Why this retreat stands out: Lake Powell’s contrast of cobalt water and Navajo sandstone cliffs creates photo-ready scenes you rarely access in larger crowds. FloYo Travels focuses on small-group connection—16-person capacity—and blends movement practices with regional exploration, letting travelers leave more rested and more capable on the water. The villa’s lake views, daily guided SUPs, and a sunrise Horseshoe Bend practice make the retreat distinct within the Glen Canyon recreation area. Practicalities: the meeting point is Page, AZ; transportation to the villa is not included. Participants should budget for National Park fees, travel insurance, and any optional excursions. The retreat supplies chef meals focused on dietary needs when requested, unlimited use of pool and hot tub, and guided hikes and paddleboard experiences. This trip is ideal for people who want active, restorative travel with expert instruction and a curated mix of SUP, light canyon hiking, and yoga. Expect sunny days, variable desert temps, and tactile sandstone terrain on hikes—bring sun protection and a confident paddle stroke if you plan to join lake crossings. Whether you arrive to paddle around Horseshoe Bend or to reset with daily yoga, Explore & Restore: Lake Powell Retreat delivers purposeful movement set against some of the Southwest’s most dramatic water and rock. Arrive prepared: layered clothing for desert swings, sturdy shoes for slick sandstone, reef-safe sunscreen, and a refillable water bottle—these small choices help preserve the landscape and make your retreat more comfortable and connected too.
