Warrior One with a Touch of Wild West
Dude Ranch Cowgirl Yoga™ is a 6-night women’s retreat that welcomes yoginis and riders of all levels to experience an authentic dude ranch, under Montana’s legendary Big Sky. Spend your days practicing yoga and engaging in good ‘ol fashioned cowgirl camaraderie with our equine partners, both in and out of the saddle.
You’ll have full-run of the 9 Quarter Circle Ranch, a family-owned western oasis surrounded by 2 million acres of national forest surround this ranch sited at 7,000 feet, making it an ideal place to experience a world of contrasts as you explore the connection between yoga and riding to improve not only your saddle skills, but also your overall wellbeing.
After three square meals of healthy and hearty fare, and all the down dogs and horse nuzzles you can handle, settle in for a glass of wine, great conversation around the campfire, and a breathtaking canopy of stars overhead.

Daily Yoga Classes

Cowgirl Yoga™ 101
Explore the mind-body-horse connection, through yoga and equine coaching sessions. Our horse time will be both in and out of the saddle—this is more than a riding retreat!
Horseback Riding
