Can I come to a yoga retreat alone?

Yes. Many participants come solo. Shared meals, optional sharing circles, and group practices naturally create connection. You will have solo time for rest and reflection, as well as opportunities for community. Coming alone often allows deeper self-focus.

What is a Yoga Retreat?

A yoga retreat is an intentional pause from ordinary life—a dedicated time and space to immerse yourself in practice, rest, and self-inquiry. Retreats may take place over a full day, a weekend, or several days in nature, offering continuity that allows practices to build, themes to deepen, and insights to integrate.

Our retreats and weekend immersions are designed around the Roots & Wings framework: building the roots of nervous system regulation, physical alignment, and embodied presence, so you can extend your wings into the next chapter of life with clarity and confidence. Each retreat includes daily yoga practices (asana, breathwork, meditation), somatic education sessions, restorative practices, community connection, and unstructured time for rest and reflection.

These aren’t vacations where you bypass your life—they’re opportunities to come home to yourself so you can return to your life more resourced, grounded, and clear. Retreats welcome all levels of practitioners. You don’t need to be flexible, experienced, or “good at yoga.” You just need to be ready to tend to yourself with care.

Why Retreat?

The Value of Stepping Away

In a culture that valorizes constant productivity, retreat is radical. It’s permission to rest, to feel, to move slowly, to listen to your body’s wisdom instead of pushing through.

Here's why people retreat:

For Restoration: Nervous system reset, deep rest, recovery from burnout or chronic stress
For Transition: Processing life changes—menopause, empty nest, career shifts, relationship endings or beginnings
For Clarity: Space to discern what's next when you feel stuck or uncertain
For Connection: Community with others walking similar paths; reconnection to your own inner authority
For Deepening Practice: Extended time for practices you can't access in weekly classes
For Joy: Simple pleasure of moving, breathing, eating well, and being held in a supportive container

Retreats create conditions for change that single classes or even regular practice can’t provide. The extended time allows your nervous system to downregulate, your body to release long-held tension, and your intuition to surface. Many participants describe retreats as “coming back to myself” or “remembering what matters.”

What to Expect at Our Retreats

Retreat Themes

Each retreat or immersion focuses on specific themes aligned with Roots & Wings philosophy:

Nervous System Reset: Practices for regulation, resilience, and rest
Midlife Embodiment: Navigating transition with grounded presence
Somatic Healing: Releasing stored tension and befriending your body
Roots & Wings Integration: Building capacity for the life you're being called toward

What's Included

Typical retreat packages include:

All yoga and somatic education sessions
Meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) with dietary accommodations
Lodging (private or shared room options)
Retreat materials and journal
Access to retreat venue amenities

Who Should Come

Retreats Are For:

Midlife women navigating physical, emotional, or life transitions
Anyone experiencing burnout or chronic stress seeking restoration
Yoga practitioners wanting to deepen their practice beyond weekly classes
People in transition needing space and support for major life changes
Beginners curious about yoga and somatic practices in a supportive setting
Solo travelers seeking community and held space
Anyone craving permission to rest without guilt or agenda

You don’t need prior yoga experience. You don’t need to be able to sit cross-legged or touch your toes. You need willingness to slow down, curiosity about your inner landscape, and trust that your body knows what it needs.

Some retreats are open to all genders; others are intentionally women-only spaces. Check individual retreat descriptions for specifics.

Retreat Locations & Accommodations

Where We Gather

Retreats take place in carefully selected locations that support rest and presence:

Local Colorado Settings: Weekend immersions often held in retreat centers within 1-2 hours of Boulder, allowing easy access without travel stress
Destination Retreats: Longer retreats may be held in inspiring locations that add to the experience
Nature-Based Venues: Priority given to settings with access to trails, quiet spaces, and natural beauty

Accommodations range from shared rooms (budget-friendly, community-building) to private rooms (solitude and rest). All lodging is comfortable, clean, and conducive to relaxation. Specific venue and lodging details are provided with each retreat offering.

Investment & Registration

Retreat pricing varies based on length, location, and accommodations. Early registration discounts may be available. Payment plans or limited scholarship options may be offered for select retreats.

A non-refundable deposit is typically required to reserve your space, with the remaining balance due prior to the retreat start date. Cancellation policies vary by retreat and are outlined in individual retreat details.

Group sizes are intentionally small, generally between 12 and 20 participants, to maintain intimacy and personalized attention. Retreats often fill in advance.

Preparing for Your Retreat

Before You Arrive

Once registered, you’ll receive a detailed welcome packet including:

Packing list (comfortable clothes for movement, journal, personal items)
Travel directions and arrival/departure times
Dietary preference form
Pre-retreat reflection questions
Emergency contact information

No special equipment needed. Yoga mats, props, and blankets are typically provided. Bring any personal comfort items (favorite pillow, essential oils, etc.) that help you feel at home.

Most importantly, come with an open heart and a willingness to receive. Leave the to-do list behind. Your only job on retreat is to be present to yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What If I'm New to Yoga?

Retreats welcome beginners, but some prior practice is recommended since retreats are immersive experiences. Practices are accessible for all bodies and experience levels, with modifications offered throughout. Many people find retreats an ideal way to begin deepening a yoga practice because you’re learning in a supportive, extended container rather than figuring things out in a fast-paced drop-in class.

Can I Come Alone?

Yes. Many participants come solo. Shared meals, optional sharing circles, and group practices naturally create connection. You’ll have solo time for rest and reflection, as well as opportunities for community. Coming alone often allows deeper self-focus without the distraction of managing travel companions.

What If I Have Dietary Restrictions?

Retreat meals accommodate common dietary needs: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free. Note any allergies or restrictions on your registration form. Meals are typically simple, nourishing, and designed to support your practice—think whole foods, seasonal ingredients, and gentle on digestion.

Do I Need to Attend Every Session?

While we encourage full participation to receive the benefit of the retreat arc, you’re always welcome to rest if your body needs it. This is your retreat. Trust your signals. If a nap serves you more than an afternoon session, take the nap. Retreat is about honoring what you need, not forcing yourself through a schedule.

Will I Get Continuing Education Credits?

Some longer retreats or teacher-specific immersions may offer Yoga Alliance continuing education credits. Check individual retreat descriptions. Even if CEU credits aren’t offered, many yoga teachers attend retreats for personal practice renewal, which often translates to better teaching.

What's the Cancellation Policy?

Cancellation policies vary by retreat. Generally, deposits are non-refundable. Cancellations 60+ days before retreat may receive a partial refund minus the deposit. Cancellations within 30 days typically result in forfeiture of the full payment unless your spot can be filled from the waitlist. We strongly recommend travel insurance for destination retreats.
