Yosemite Women’s Yoga & Wellness Retreat
5 days. 4 nights. A return to your body, your rhythm, your truth.
About the Yosemite Retreat
This 5-day women’s yoga and wellness retreat is designed to help you reset your mind, reconnect with your body, and return to your life with renewed clarity. Held in the quiet mountains just outside Yosemite National Park, you’ll experience yoga, meditation, subconscious re-patterning, and deeply restorative practices that support transformation from the inside out.
A Space to Return to Yourself
Each year, women from across the country gather in the Yosemite mountains for a transformational experience of renewal, reconnection, and remembrance. This retreat offers more than rest — it’s an invitation to understand your body’s language, reprogram subconscious patterns, and realign with your authentic rhythm.
In the stillness of the Sierra Nevada foothills, surrounded by forest, starlight, and sisterhood, you’ll find the clarity that lives beneath the noise. This is your time to listen inward, restore balance, and return to the self you’ve always carried.
The Experience
Each retreat follows nature’s rhythm, moving from reflection to expansion, stillness to awakening. Through yoga, subconscious re-patterning, sound healing, and symbolic exploration, you’ll experience transformation as both embodied and effortless.
You’ll learn to read your body as metaphor, understand the signals that guide you, and anchor new awareness through movement, meditation, and creative integration.
This is a retreat of integration, immersion, and just being.

Location & Travel Details

Cabins include:
private bathrooms
comfortable beds with fresh linens
simple, nature-inspired furnishings
outdoor seating areas and forest surroundings
Wi-Fi in common areas
The property offers gentle trails lined with seasonal colors — oaks, willows, pines, chaparral, and the golden sweep of autumn. Free time may include journaling outdoors, a quiet walk beneath the trees, or soaking in the mineral hot tub.
Many guests choose to arrive early or stay an extra night to unwind, book a spa treatment, or visit Yosemite National Park (about one hour from the lodge).
Whether you’re sipping tea by the fire or wandering the forest paths, the lodge becomes part of the transformation — a place where the noise dissolves and your inner rhythm becomes clear again.

The Inner Compass — NLP tools for emotional and energetic navigation
Sound & Stillness — frequency, breath, and integration
The Art of Allowing — creative reflection for subconscious release
The Embodied Self — movement as metaphor for transformation

"You ladies are all amazing!!! I’ve been floating all week long and haven’t been able to quite find the words to describe my experience. It was incredible. I relaxed. I learned. I let go. I loved. I became so inspired. Spending the time with all of you was such a treat. You’ve all popped up in my mind and heart several times this week." Morgan of San Luis Obispo County California
