Grand Teton is a perfect area to play for the week of our Jackson Hole retreat, sitting right at the foot of Grand Teton National Park which we will be exploring. The Grand Teton National Park offers some of the best hiking in the world with majestic peaks, glacial lakes, and wildflowers galore. We will hike, take a float trip, and see it all.
What To Expect at the Jackson Hole Retreat:
Awaken in natural rhythm with the sun, coming into your fresh, new day slowly. Join us for a gentle morning yoga session followed by a healthy breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll break into small groups for our uplifting hikes. You can choose an easy or challenging course, depending on how you feel that day. Either way, you’ll hike with women of your same ability and comfort level. We’ll refuel with a hearty, energizing lunch prepared by our chef, or we may be hiking with a picnic. The evening ends by 9:00 p.m., ensuring you’re in sync with the man in the moon. Please keep in mind that you do not have to do everything! We support and encourage you to find the level of activity that is right for you.

More Details:
Towering over the valley of Jackson Hole, The Teton Range boasts granite (and often snow-capped) peaks that soar 7,000 feet high. With canyons formed by retreating glaciers, glassy alpine lakes, and the winding Snake River, Teton National Park draws millions of visitors a year for the landscape, wildlife, and adventure. While all seasons offer different opportunities, summer in the Grand Tetons is especially exciting with the wide array of activities to do and places to see. From wildlife watching to hiking, climbing, and fishing to even just gazing out the window of your car as you drive through the park, the options are limitless.
Jackson is also very close to Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872 as America’s first National Park and spans close to 3,500 miles through parts of Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Bursting geysers, bubbling hot springs, and cascading waterfalls sided with resounding canyons, lofty mountains, and the abundance of wildlife makes Yellowstone truly feel alive and breathing. And let’s not forget that it sits atop a dormant volcano! In his essay “The Yellowstone National Park,” John Muir summed it up perfectly when he wrote:
“Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Hike among the grasses and gentians of glacier meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of Nature’s darlings. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees..”
We will hike through the canyons of Grand Teton National Park, and immerse ourselves in the beauty of the landscape, the outdoors, and the team. Not only that, but we will also have meaningful discussions, as well as practice yoga, mindfulness, and breathing techniques. Feeling inspired by our exploration in nature, we will bask in the love, laughter, and friendship that arise through our journey with the team.
