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 2012 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

WINTER WONDERLAND AND WELLNESS WEEKEND

YOGA + HIKING RETREATS

COWGIRL YOGA™ RANCH CAMP

Register online now!

Winter is not for hibernating! It's a wonderful time to focus on your well-being. Join us in Montana's winter wonderland for some amazing workouts: Nordic (cross-country) skiing is a cardio kick-in-the-pants, and we'll warm and lengthen our muscles beforehand with yoga.

We'll savor a cooking lesson emphasizing healthy eating ideas for when it's cold outside, we'll learn how to make a warming winter tea brew, and we'll learn how to "zen" our home. Come play in the snow, and afterwards get warm & cozy inside, healthy-style!

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.

Women's Eat, Pray, Love Yoga

3-night retreat will incorporate discussion, reflection, intention setting and meditation based on themes in the book - and of course sharing our fave parts! Bring your copy of the book if you dog-eared and underlined (otherwise we'll have a fresh copy for you in your goodie bag).

Yoga is the effort to experience one's divinity personally and then to hold on to that experience forever. Yoga is about self-mastery and the dedicated effort to haul your attention away from your endless brooding over the past and your nonstop worrying about the future so that you can seek, instead, a place of eternal presence from which you may regard yourself and your surroundings with poise. Only from that point of even-mindedness will the true nature of the world (and yourself) be revealed to you. - Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat, Pray, Love

The Cowgirl Yoga Camp at Big Sky Yoga program includes:

* Daily yoga classes that build body awareness and help foster an openness of body and mind - the best state to be in around horses, and that target common trouble spots for riders, such as the back and hips, and pay special attention to cultivating core strength (the center of the body's energy)
* Cowgirl Yoga 101 lesson, covering horse-human interaction, grooming, and groundwork basics (required for all levels of equestrians)
* 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
* Health and wellness discussions, meditation, intention-setting & journaling
