About the Retreat

Replenish your body, mind, heart and spirit and bring it into harmony and balance with the seasons through yoga and spending time in the natural world. Many of us spend more time staring into screens, and less time than we would like being present in our bodies, contemplating our deepest values, and connecting to the natural world. Without synchronization between body, mind, and environment, dis-ease of all kinds arise.

Through yoga, breath-work, contemplation, inquiry, reflecting on the gifts of each season, and connecting to the wildness surrounding Drala Mountain Center you’ll return to center, where you can reconnect to the simple magic and miracle of being alive.

As Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist teacher, writes, in Our True Home, “Around us, life bursts forth with miracles—a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere.”

These mountain yoga retreats are correlated with the unfolding seasons in the Rocky Mountains. Each one will have a seasonal theme.

Level: All levels welcome!

What to Bring:

  • Yoga mat (optional)
  • Journal or notepad
  • Pen or pencil
  • Walking shoes
  • Water bottle
  • A mug with a closed top for tea (optional).

Lodging

We have several accommodations to choose from during checkout.
All options include our healthy meals and drinks. Inc V, VG, GF.

Off Land
Participants who wish to commute from home or arrange their own accommodations off-campus (for example, a bed and breakfast, camping nearby)  pay tuition, plus $54/night for meals (3 meals per day) and use of our facilities.

Car Camping
We have 5 primitive parking spots in the Rigden parking lot, for simply parking and sleeping. This includes food and access our bathhouses in Rigden Lodge
Note: We don’t have any water or electric hook ups for RV’s.

Dormitories
Rooms with beds for up to 7-8 people. Gender-segregated with men in their own dorm and women in another. The dorms use a shared bathroom down the hall, which is also equipped with shower stalls.

Monk Rooms
A cost-effective option for participants looking for indoor, solitary lodging, but who don’t mind using a shared bathroom or are looking for a more affordable retreat solution. These rooms are in the same hall as the Ridgen Dormitories, but offer more privacy than the dorms. In addition to a bed, bedding, a private room and closet, the monk rooms also have a large window and a desk and desk chair for added comfort.

Single and Double Rooms
The perfect choice for a retreat where you want both your own space and your own bathroom. Each room offers a little more space, a dresser and closet, and a 3/4s bathroom (toilet, sink, and shower, no bathtub) attached to each room.

Junior Suite
Our Lodge Junior Suites include a queen-size bed topped by a cozy comforter, a desk, dresser, closet and private bath with bathtub, plus a sitting area.
