Colorado Retreat
Mythic Mountain
June 19-23, 2024
Gather with us outside of Pagosa Springs, COLORADO in the San Juan Mountains for 4 nights/5 days of rich practice and self investigation on a unique historic ranch, surrounded by stunning mountain views.
We’ll utilize our yoga to investigate the heart of our personal stories and our ancient and collective human mythologies. Expect hiking, hot springs, incredible meals & views, joyful explorations + connected kinship!
– Rolf Gates
Our focus isn’t on perfect poses, attaining enlightenment, or even self-improvement — rather we seek to create a deeper relationship with who we already are, honoring all the many facets that make us whole.
From this steady center, we can meet our community and the world with presence, tenderness, and maybe even a little humor.
We aim to not only share knowledge but more importantly, to LEARN together. Learning is a verb, it is alive, shifting and requires the willingness to suspend what we think we know.
Our Philosophy
BELONGING
We believe yoga offers space for everyone and encourages both depth and breadth in our spheres of our practice. As humans, we all carry stories of separateness. We aim for our practices to center belonging.
EXPRESSION
We emphasize a personal connection to yoga and celebrate the diversity it inspires. Each individual’s expression is welcomed. We don’t want you to teach like us, we want you to teach like you!
WHOLENESS
Yoga invites us to embrace all aspects of who we are—the sweet parts, the rugged parts and everything in between. We honor them all for their purpose and wisdom.
REVERENCE
We honor the roots of yoga and its many iterations. Offering up devotion without the dogma, we teach in a way that remains respectful of the past while acknowledging the beautiful (and harmful) ways yoga has been shaped to meet modernity.
STUDENTSHIP
We embrace curiosity and the ongoing process of learning and unlearning. This path is an unfolding journey of discovery and we believe wonder and curiosity always leads to a compassionate understanding.
INTEGRITY
We acknowledge our humanity and that we will unintentionally cause harm. We strive to always be open to learning more skillful ways of being in the world and in sangha – believing yoga is most powerful off the mat.
