COLORADO

Yoga Retreat in the Rocky Mountains

The Colorado yoga retreat takes place near Steamboat Springs in a wilderness setting that inspires serenity, self-care, and some ranch-style fun.

Our new Colorado yoga retreat is a little bit of luxury tucked into an authentic mountain guest ranch. Be guided through daily yoga practices, cozy up by the fire with a book or chat with new friends, and enjoy the outdoors with the ranch’s many winter activities. This intimate 5-night retreat is ideal for those who seek an interlude from daily life at a destination that is easily accessible with direct flights from most major cities yet feels like a world away.

Retreat Highlights

Premier Guest Ranch

Experience Northwest Colorado mountain life at a secluded ranch with resort amenities. Our retreat location is nestled in the Elk River Valley, just 45 minutes from Steamboat Springs. Stay in a western-style log cabin that features a private hot tub, a wood stove, and surrounding wilderness views. This is a dreamy winter wonderland to get away from it all.

Yoga

When winter sends us inside, Yoga is a fitting activity to encourage us to turn inward, to nourish the body through movement, and rejuvenate one’s energy. Included are enlivening vinyasa practices and restorative yoga to settle the mind. Classes are designed for all levels. True to ranch fashion, our charming yoga studio is in the spacious barn with high wood ceilings.

Winter Adventure

Activities on this retreat are all-inclusive. Take a cooking class or enjoy wine tasting at the main lodge. Try snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, take a fat bike for a spin, or go on a sleigh ride. It is a horseback rider’s delight with an indoor arena and outdoor trails. There are inviting spaces to simply sit back and enjoy the lodge’s warm and welcoming ambiance.

What is the yoga like?

The retreat leader and yoga teacher is Sandra Tedeschi. The 2-hr morning classes will be a mix of conditioning movements and vinyasa flow to enliven one’s energy, enhance flexibility and mobility, and build strength. Classes are structured so that participants may learn and advance their practice. Each class is specifically sequenced around a theme based in the Hatha and Tantra traditions.

Afternoon classes will be restorative yoga, meditation, breathwork, and other non-asana practices.

All levels of yoga experience are welcome, from beginners to more seasoned practitioners, to those who are in the professed “I-am-so-out-of-practice” state. The precept is: Come as you are. Start where you are.

Can special dietary needs be accommodated?

The retreat ranch chefs are happy to accommodate special dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten/dairy-free, allergies, etc). You can note this in your reservation form when you book. They will make sure there is always something delicious for you at each meal.

What can I expect with the weather?

People flock to Steamboat Springs for its mild winters. Although the area gets around 300 inches of snow a year, there are more bluebird days than anywhere else. March temperatures on average will warm up to the mid-30s to low/mid 40s with the sun shining on the fresh snow. The amazing part about winter is that it is really pleasant to be outside in this weather. This isn’t your bone-chilling New England kind of winter!

What are the health-safety & COVID-19 protocols while on retreat?

The health safety protocols and procedures are subject to change. Please inquire about the retreat details through the below form to receive the current information.

Vajra Sol retreats are offered and facilitated under the primary premise that the overall well-being of all guests is priority.

While on retreat we ask that everyone takes care of sanitary practices and respect each other’s personal space. At the same time, we want to create a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

From our Retreat Lodge Hosts

We want to assure you that our number one priority is the health and safety of our guests and staff. Protocols will be adjusted as county and state guidelines change.

What is the group size for the retreat?

The retreat is limited to 16 persons to maintain general comfort for group travel and to allow for personalized attention to each participant. This retreat is designed for the yoga-inspired traveler who appreciates finely curated travel experiences with a small group of like-minded people. We take care of all the planning. You only need to book your plane ticket and pack your bags. Solo travelers are very welcome!

The minimum group size to run a retreat is eight persons.

What is the payment and cancellation policy?

A completed reservation form and a 50% deposit of the total retreat price confirm a booking. Full payment is due by January 25, 2021. Should you need to cancel your reservation before the full payment due date you will receive a refund for payment made less $250.

Should you need to cancel after the final payment date, for whatever reason we will not be able to provide a refund or credit unless a replacement is found.

If force majeure (e.g. pandemic, natural disaster, government travel restrictions, etc.) causes a retreat to be canceled we will offer alternative dates to reschedule the retreat within one year. In this case, there is no refund of payments when a retreat cannot be held due to causes beyond our control.

In the unlikely event Vajra Sol needs to cancel the retreat a full refund of payment made will be given. Vajra Sol will not be held liable for any expenses incurred by the participant for a retreat canceled either by the participant or by Vajra Sol. No refunds are provided for arriving late or departing the retreat early, for activities or meals in which one does not participate.

Should I buy trip insurance for the retreat?

Purchasing trip insurance is strongly recommended for coverage of any unplanned changes that may occur before or during your trip, such as trip cancelation, delayed flights, lost luggage, emergency medical assistance, and more.

Guest Reviews

trip advisor

Every detail was taken care of – Great combination of yoga, touring, wonderful food and accommodations and plenty of extras! First trip and likely not the last!

 

Mark, Idaho

The planning for our adventures was exhaustive & flawless while the yoga was threaded into every moment. Sandra teaches that yoga is not just about the asana or what you do on your mat. It’s a way of life worth living with others. As for the accommodations, food & service – everything was top notch.

Christina, Labrador, Canada

This was my third retreat with Sandra, I have been to Costa Rica twice and enjoyed my retreats so much there. I again traveled solo to this retreat and felt safe and confident the entire time. If you’re looking for a superbly organized adventure, mixed with spirituality and fun then do yourself a favour and go on retreat with Vajra Sol!
