Big Sky Yoga Retreats Bozeman, Montana About Schedule Contact

One of our hikes will be to nearby Ousel Falls, a stunning, powerful waterfall. The wide, awesome falls crash down over the canyon walls to the narrow canyon floor. The mist created by the falls feeds the moss covering the rocks. The trail to the falls is abundant with wildflowers and has a sweeping 360-degree view of the surrounding mountains.

Women's "Eat, Pray, Love" Yoga Weekends 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) and your journal.


"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

FALL YOGA & HIKING WEEK-LONG RETREAT

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.

$2,750 per person based on double occupancy; we will place you with a roommate if you do not have a travel companion. Single accomodations are very limited and are an additional cost, please inquire. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due to hold your reservation.

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. The 40 acre forest-lined lake sits in a small valley surrounded by granite walls with the majestic Spanish Peaks rising in the distance. It is the only lake in the Lee Metcalf Wilderness that was not glacially formed. The trail climbs through thick evergreen forest, parallels the scenic, cascading whitewater of Cascade Creek, and passes turbulent Hoodoo Cascade and a few waterfalls.

TESTIMONIALS

Words cannot express how amazing last weekend was. It always amazes me how a group of women from all walks of life, from all over the country, can gather for just two days and be able to talk openly about so many things. You provided a place where it was safe to let go, to open yourself up, to be in the moment. Every last detail was taken care of so that we didn’t have to worry about anything. The Big EZ Lodge is truly the most amazing place I have ever stayed. It wasn’t like staying in a hotel at all…it was like we were guests at a friend’s big, beautiful log home. The yoga, the food, the hot tub, hikes, and conversation…all made for a wonderful weekend. As women, we tend to spend a lot of our time taking care of everyone around us. It was such a gift to have those two days to take care of ourselves. My mom and I had decided that this would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to experience together…but after those two days, realized we wanted to make it an annual affair! Thank you for giving us a place to spend time together, just the two of us. We are both better wives, mothers, and friends because of it!

Thank you for a great experience. The setting was spectacular. The people I met - of all ages and backgrounds - were wonderful. You are the best and most patient yoga instructor I have had.
-Georgeen, Chicago

Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend! Take it from someone who has 'been there, done that', you have created something quite unique and wonderful; an experience I will always treasure and feel lucky to have participated in. For your success in creating something so special, you have my deepest admiration and gratitude. I am sure I will see you again on another one of your magical retreats!

The yoga and hiking weekend was one of the most wonderful weekends...the 1 on 1 attention during yoga classes, the food was excellent as well as the accommodations, and the beautiful Montana mountains made for the perfect backdrop. I was happy with the entire retreat and have made some great new friends through this experience. I would definitely recommend these retreats to friends and family and hope to come back again!
-Beth, Saint Louis Park

I had a great time and so enjoyed the yoga. Thanks for providing such a lovely refuge for the weekend. We really enjoyed our sister time. You're an inspiration!
-Meg, Houston

I want to thank you for the Mother's Day weekend and the great yoga which has inspired me to find time to practice more. I also thought that you really helped me understand and connect to yoga more spiritually, not just as excercise. So, thank you again for your patience with my being a novice and your enthusiasm. I really felt relaxed and peaceful.
