Eastern Utah Pricing

This retreat to the canyons of Eastern Utah is perfect for you if you are an active person ready to get out for an amazing yoga adventure with like-minded people. We will experience most places by hiking in a mountain and canyon environment and you can expect daily yoga practices in the morning and/or evening.  You can expect to hike between 6 and 9 miles per day overall.  

We have planned the days to include plenty of downtime to relax enjoy the surroundings and lodging amenities. You don’t need any yoga, hiking or canyoneering experience, just an open mind, open heart, and a reasonably good fitness level.  We always recommend that you increase your activity level leading up to an adventure to maximize your enjoyment.  This includes outdoor walks, hikes with a similar distance to what is planned on the trip and a regular yoga practice.

This trip may not be right for you if you have conditions or injuries that limit your ability to participate in these kinds of activities as many locations do not have alternate points of access. Please consult with your physician to make sure these activities are safe for your body. We will make every effort to accommodate your needs. 

Your trip, your time!  

While we have planned this adventure to provide a good balance of activity and downtime, we understand that you may wish to ‘sit this one out’ occasionally.  Maybe sleep-in instead of doing a sunrise meditation or spend time in the spa instead of on the trail.  That’s fine by us as long as you let your trip leaders know your plan so we can work with you.  

Most of our retreats are lodging based so you can easily stay and relax instead of participating in an activity and we work to make sure we have alternatives for anything on a trip that might be more difficult than the rest of the itinerary. However, on trips where we have a moving base, transition day activities may be required to get from one point to another in the journey.  

A 25% deposit is required at the time of registration. Deposit is refundable up to 120 days from the start of the retreat. Cancellations between 90 and 119 days of the retreat will result in a 25% loss of the full trip price. Cancellations made between 60 and 89 days of the start date of the retreat will result in a 50% loss of the total trip price.

Any cancellation made between 59 days and the date of departure will result in the total loss of funds. Reservations made within any time window above will immediately subject to the cancellation policy for that time period. We reserve the right to cancel the trip at any time and for any reason including force majeure and in such an event we will refund the full price of the retreat.

We always recommend that you purchase travel insurance whenever making travel plans and strongly suggest you consider trip insurance that includes covid coverage. You can use our suggested insurance provider and choose a policy option that is best for you.

Payment Due Dates: 

25% Deposit upon reservation unless reservation is made in a higher payment window.

50% of the balance due 90 days prior to the start date

100% of the balance due 60 days prior to start date

Booking a trip in advance gives us all something to look forward to and the anticipation and planning is a lot of fun.  

For most of our adventures we do business with small, local companies that need to fill up their days, rooms, etc. to stay in business, and so they require advance commitments to hold spots.  Additionally, our adventures usually require several permits for different parks, activities and trails that have to be secured from six months up to a year in advance and require specific group headcounts.  

That is why we set deadlines when we do for each trip and we have to stay firm with them.  If you signed up last minute you could go but probably not participate in many of the activities.  

This trip is for adults only due to the nature of the activities involved.  Your partner and adult children 18 years or older are welcome to participate.

If you are traveling solo and would like to book the lower double occupancy rate simply check the roommate request form.  We will make every effort to match you with a same gender roommate, if we are unable to find a match, you will not be charged for the single occupancy surcharge.  

We will pick you up at the airport in Grand Junction Colorado at 1pm.  We will adjust this time based on the flights that everyone is able to book from different parts of the US.  On the last day we will drop you off at the same airport in the afternoon.  We recommend departing flights leave at 5pm or later.   

Yes we will provide transportation to and from the airport and all activities.

We make sure that every meal on every adventure is healthy and vegan friendly in keeping with our wellness adventure theme.  This ensures that vegetarians can be accommodated and of course those who eat meat will find options during most meals on our journeys unless specified in the itinerary as “vegan”.  Other dietary restrictions can usually be accommodated but we need to know these well in advance so that we can work with restaurants, chefs, and other providers to ensure we have can take care of your needs.  Please fill out the dietary restrictions section of the booking form at the time of booking and we will go to work to meet your requests.

Late Spring is a beautiful time to visit the Utah with temperatures in the upper 70’s to low 80’s during the day and 50’s at night.  On this adventure you can expect a broad range of weather conditions from cooler temperatures in the mornings and evenings, to possible showers from time to time.  Come prepared for all weather conditions, the sun can be hot and intense, so layers are always good.  We will have a call to discuss specifics as the trip approaches and we have better visibility on the actual weather forecast
