Yoga & Wellness Retreats

Embarking on a yoga retreat offers numerous benefits that extend beyond the physical wellness practice. It provides an opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing you to immerse yourself in a tranquil environment, inviting in relaxation and mindfulness. The yoga retreat setting encourages a deeper connection with oneself, fostering mental clarity and emotional well-being.

Yoga retreats emphasize holistic health, incorporating nutritious meals, wellness practices, and daily yoga and meditation. The retreat schedule allows ample time and space to disconnect from the business of daily life and unlock the parts of you that need rest and care. Participants can also experience personal growth through the shared sense of community, as you practice alongside like-minded individuals, who may offer insights and support. Ultimately, a yoga retreat not only enhances and benefits your physical health but also nurtures inner peace and self-awareness, making it a rejuvenating experience for body, mind, and spirit.

The magic of being...

The magic of a yoga retreat lies in its structure. You’re immersed in a rhythm that isn’t your own but is perfect for your growth. Your retreat host curates the experience, allowing you to trust the process without needing to control it. As you flow through the days, shedding layers of stress and expectation, you awaken to the essence of who you are. There’s no striving—it’s a natural unfolding. You stand face-to-face with yourself, awake, present, and ready to embrace all that you find. With ample time and space to focus on your wellness , a yoga retreat is the perfect setting to just be.

One of the oldest centers for conscious living and yoga retreats in the country, Feathered Pipe offers workshop experiences guided by some of the world’s finest teachers in a relaxed, leisurely, nature-drenched setting. Visitors can wander the sacred land, exploring ambling brooks fed by pure mountain springs, open vistas and star gazing like no other place in the world. You can just as easily find community with others, sitting on the open lawn in the shade of cottonwood trees, quaking aspens, and fragrant pine with an exquisite view out over the secluded lake.

It is a vibrant and peaceful oasis to which our guests return eagerly year after year – inevitably leaving the Ranch feeling recharged and relaxed – and counting the days until they can again return. For more than 40 years, the Ranch has been home to yoga and conscious living retreats that help us experience our wholeness and remember our intimate connection to all of life. Many of today’s foremost voices on yoga, meditation, wellness and health have come through our doors at one time or another – Joseph Campbell, K.

Past Attendees Say It Best!

"A retreat with Stacy and Teresa is magic. The skill they have to teach and hold space together is incredible. I have attended numerous retreats with them and always walk away feeling grounded, nurtured and cared for. They hold space for all bodies and all levels. I love how they easily transition from one teaching to the other. Stacy is skilled at guiding all levels in yoga and meditation and Teresa is gifted at her yin and sound healing. Together you get everything you need to leave feeling connected."

"The Feathered Pipe retreat with Stacy and Teresa was everything I could have asked for and more. Both instructors take such a kind, loving, and mindful approach to their teaching practice. Both are great at offering options for all levels of participants. Stacy and Teresa have this amazing healing energy that makes you want to be around them both in the studio and around the retreat. Feathered Pipe itself was such an amazing location and all of the staff were so accommodating and friendly. The food was top notch and the accommodations were great. The experience was made whole by the different body work offerings. Overall I’m so glad that this was my introduction to yoga retreats and I wouldn’t change anything about my time with Stacy and Teresa at Feathered Pipe. I would recommend this retreat to anyone interested, whether you’re a seasoned retreater or new to the experience"

"What a beautiful retreat! Thank you, Stacy and Teresa, for planning the weekend and bringing so much wisdom to this group of RAW soul sisters! I enjoyed meeting new friends and especially all the comments, poems, and inspiration that was shared. Stacy- thank you for guiding us back to how to nurture our mind, body and soul and making a commitment to our morning intention and evening reflection. We are a beautiful, strong and courageous team and I’m so appreciative of being part of it!"

"I spent the weekend with Stacy on retreat and her guidance through yoga and meditation helped me find clarity in my life choices. We did a meditation that helped me to clearly see the next steps for my career. It was life changing. The support, the guidance and nurturing aspects of her teachings allow you to drop in and listen to your body."

"I took part in Stacy and Teresa’s week-long “connection” yoga retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch in Montana, and wow what an experience. I didn’t have a very clear purpose for attending the retreat at the outset, except just to do yoga, slow down a bit, and enjoy the natural surroundings. But with Stacy and Teresa’s loving presence, gentle guidance, and willingness to hold space for ALL of us and each of our journeys, I was able to dig a bit deeper about what brought me there and what I’ve been needing. By the end of the week, I had so much more clarity about what I want to cultivate going forward and also how to do that. This was no ordinary place – it was filled with beauty and magic and the most delicious food one will ever eat – and these are no ordinary yoga teachers. They created an atmosphere of genuine warmth and care, and they brought all of us together into their amazing orbits. I feel incredibly grateful that I was able to have this experience with these teachers in this place, and I will definitely be back in the future. I absolutely recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to connect more with themselves or others, who wants to connect more with nature, and who wants to cultivate a bit more curiosity and openness. What a trip!"
