Big Sky Yoga events in Montana

Our yoga classes will accomodate all levels of yogis. While total beginners are welcome, we do recommend some prior yoga experience (even if it's just a few classes before you come) and/or that you participate in some type of physical activity. If you would like to schedule a private yoga session to brush up on the basics prior to the retreat (available at an additional cost) please inquire for details.

Our 2010 Eat Pray Love Yoga & Hiking retreat will be at the
Big EZ Lodge in Big Sky

YOGA & HIKING RETREAT WEEKENDS

What a treat! I just spent the most amazing weekend surrounded by mountains that comforted me like a blanket. Hiking in the cool air of Montana in the autumn (along with a little drizzle) was enough to open my breathing as deeply as an asana practice...The views were amazing and seeing deer, elk, and moose were an added bonus. Affording my body both yoga and hiking in the same weekend was a true balance. Many people will tell you that they are the most spiritual when they are in nature. Others will tell you it's when they are in meditation or yoga. For me it's all of the above...and to combine them was a powerful weekend. Add to that great friends...gourmet food, and the weekend reached great heights. -Christine, Bozeman

YOGA + HIKING RETREATS

One of our hikes on this retreat is to Lava Lake, a popular hike in Gallatin Canyon. It is 6 miles round-trip with an elevation gain of 1,600 feet.

Picture yourself on some of the best hiking trails the West has to offer, savoring the crisp fall mountain air. You won't even notice the great cardio workout you're getting, you'll be so amazed by the scenery.

We'll stretch and strengthen your muscles with daily pre and post hike yoga sessions, and cap off our active days with soaking those muscles in the Lodge hot tub. Each day will offer a different hike, with a variety of terrain and scenery.

* Riding sessions and bonding time: our time with the horses will be both in and out of the saddle
* Pre-ride yoga in the saddle: a focus on yogic breathing will foster a relaxed yet alert posture on horseback, and we'll explore a variety of yoga poses you can do when riding to instantly release tension and relax you (and your horse!)
* Riding out on the ranch, surrounded by wide open vistas and views of the 3 surrounding mountain ranges
* Healthy, local food to satisfy your cowgirl cravings and maintain your energy
* Cowgirl cookout dinner one evening with the horses
