Focus on Your Inner Yeehaw & Namaste
Cowgirl Yogatography is a 3-night women’s retreat dedicated to creativity, renewal, and the beauty of horses. Spend your days learning the fundamentals of photography through hands-on practice, using the mind-body awareness from yoga to unlock your creativity, and learning to capture the beauty of our equine subjects and natural surroundings.
Enjoy full-run of our private 115-acre ranch with extensive trails and rustic-yet-luxurious lodging. After three square meals of gourmet delights, and all the down dogs, workshops, and horse nuzzles you can handle, settle in for the evening with a dip in the hot tub, a glass of wine, great conversation, and a breathtaking canopy of stars overhead.
