Retreat Highlights

Ranch Life

Experience western mountain culture on a private family-run ranch. Our retreat location is in the northern reach of Flathead Valley, the great outdoors of Northwest Montana. It is surrounded by glacial mountains, crystal clear lakes, and scenic rivers. It is a 10-minute drive from the mountain town of Whitefish and 30 minutes from Glacier National Park.

Yoga

Through systematic movement, breathwork, and cultivating inner silence and stillness we are able to heal, to strengthen our bodies physically, emotionally, and mentally, and to evolve as conscious individuals. Taking time for a getaway in Nature under the guidance of the yogic powers that be is a valuable gift to give yourself.

Glacier National Park

Glacier is one of the crown jewels of the U.S. National Parks System. We will spend a full day in the park, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, on a scenic day hike. Glacier is known for its abundant wildlife and wildflowers, and its turquoise, iceberg studded lakes tucked into glacial cirques. It is a World Heritage Site and nature enthusiast’s paradise.

About the Retreat

Idyllic Mountain Charm

Our Montana yoga retreat is held at a 100-year old family-run ranch which was transformed from a solely working ranch for organic farming to an idyllic sanctuary for hosting guests on its 160 acres of wilderness.

The property includes:

  • five miles of walking trails
  • a 14-acre pond for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding
  • sacred stone sculptures and secret gardens
  • yard games such as horseshoe, bocce, and corn hole
  • lots of benches and wide-open spaces to sit and gaze out at the vast sky and mountains

The ranch will be exclusively for our group. Be ready to receive warm Montana hospitality! The atmosphere is laid-back and friendly, and there will be lots of outdoor time.

What is the Yoga like and who leads the retreat?

The practice of yoga is learning to refine and deepen our relationship to our life force. We then are able to heal, to strengthen our bodies physically, emotionally, and mentally, and to evolve as conscious individuals.

The yoga sessions are for mixed levels with modifications offered for beginners to the more experienced practitioner. All levels of yoga experience are welcome! The type of yoga is hatha and slow flow vinyasa which is a more active and dynamic practice. Some classes are restorative yoga to focus on the yin energy. Guided meditation, pranayama (breathwork), and other non-asana yogic practices are included.

Sandra, the owner of Vajra Sol, leads the retreat. She has been practicing and studying yoga for more than 25 years. See About Us page to learn more about her background.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

A reservation form and a non-refundable $800 deposit confirm your booking. Full payment is due 90 days from the retreat. Should you need to cancel your reservation before the final payment due date you will receive a refund for payment made less the $800 deposit, unless a replacement can be found and less a $150 cancelation fee.

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

If force majeure (e.g. pandemic, natural disaster, country travel restrictions, etc.) causes a retreat to be canceled, we will offer a rescheduled date for the retreat. In this case, there is no refund of payments when a retreat cannot be held due to causes beyond our control. If you are unable to join at the rescheduled date, a portion of your payment may be applicable for a transfer to a different retreat in the future. This will be determined at the time and depends on factors such as how far out it is from the retreat date.

In the unlikely event Vajra Sol needs to cancel a retreat for non–force majeure reasons, a full refund will be given. Vajra Sol will not be held liable for expenses incurred by the guest for any type of cancelation. No refunds are provided for arriving late or departing the retreat early, for activities or meals in which one does not participate.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

This policy is subject to change until a reservation is confirmed.

Should I buy retreat trip insurance?

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.

trip advisor

I am so happy I took a plunge and decided to join Sandra’s retreat in Montana. Travel restrictions and uncertainty of Covid’s ebbs were the reasons for hesitation, but Sandra’s magic positivity, calm, professionalism made all worries recede. It is my second retreat with Sandra … the whole enjoyable, meaningful flow of those 5 days appeared to unfold so effortlessly.

Natasha, Boston, MA (2020 guest)

The serenity of yoga/meditation practices at the beautiful ranch were restorative for the mind and body. The relaxing environment, immersed in nature, refreshed my focus, energy, and resiliency. I highly recommend Sandra’s retreats. She creates a connection between nature and your personal well-being. She facilitates adventure. If you are seeking nurture for your body and soul, travel with Vajra Sol Yoga!
