Moab, Utah: for rock climbers, yogis, adventure-lovers, mountain bikers, hikers, trial runners, and sunset chasers, just hearing someone say “Moab” is reason enough to pack up a bag and head out to that special, quiet desert. Join YOGASCAPES and for the adventure of a lifetime.
You will wake up every morning to cool desert air, a bright red sunrise, and an energizing yoga practice to get your body ready for the day ahead. Your days will be filled with rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and other optional activities like bouldering, trail running and rafting. After a full day of adventuring around the land and within yourself, you will return to our river-side camp site for a gourmet dinner, relaxing sunset yoga practice, and lots of laughing around the campfire.
For five days, we will live in the wild. Let’s get far away from technology and really close to the earth and ourselves. Get ready for a trip all about discovery of your personal strength, bravery, and inner badass.
Come to the place that so many adventure-seekers have fallen in love with, the unique and oh-so beautiful Moab, Utah.
THIS TRIP IS IDEAL FOR
This is a trip for all experience levels! Whether you’re a beginner mountain biker or an experienced rock climber, you are in invited to join our little family of yogis and adventurers in Moab. Don’t be shy!
WHAT TO EXPECT
This isn't your typical yoga retreat. Moab is desert. It's dry, it's hot, it's harsh, it's incredibly beautiful. You will get dirty! (maybe dirtier than you've been in a long time.) Our site doesn't have any showers (no sites do), so we've planned an excursion to a swimming hole midway through. For those of you that want to shower during the trip, there is a public swimming pool that offers cheap facility passes.
