Gather with us in the San Juan Mountains, outside of the picturesque Colorado town of Pagosa Springs. Our home for 4 nights/5 days is an historic ranch, complete with grazing cattle and horses; stunning mountain views; cool, crisp air and a breathtaking night sky blanketed with stars.
Off-grid on a still working cattle ranch that sits in a stunning valley surrounded by 11,000-13,000-foot peaks. The main barn is the cherished centerpiece, which was built in 1932 & recently restored to sweetness
Let the fresh mountain air fill your being as we weave our yoga practice with majestic mountain views.
Our stylish mountain glamping tents are cozy and rustic chic. They reside in a stunning aspen grove that overlooks the pasture, valley, restored barn and surrounding San Juan mountains.
The tents are furnished with a mix of queen and twin beds, all with luxury bedding and charmingly appointed with rugs, dressers, tables and chairs. Each also has its own front porch and personal fire pit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to have completed 200hr training to take this course?
No. Very dedicated students are welcome to join. Please send us an email for more info!
What kind of workload can I expect?
Outside of our scheduled live zoom sessions and recorded lectures, you can expect to spend 2-5 hours per module on your homework. You will be busy AND we’ve structured our curriculum in a way to also make space for life.
How much of the training is pre-recorded vs live on zoom?
Each module will vary slightly, but more than half of the training is always live. Being live together is extremely valuable and we utilize this format as much as possible. We know that everyone learns differently, so we aim to deliver our content and integration in varied ways.
What are the graduation requirements?
To complete the course with your 300hr certificate, you must complete all required hours including lecture, homework, group work, and recorded lectures.
Can I just take certain modules?
Sure! If you aren’t ready to sign up for the full course, you are welcome to join only the units that interest you for personal development.
You will still be eligible for your 300hr certificate if you choose to complete all hours even at your own pace. They do not have to be done concurrently.
What is the attendance policy?
You are responsible for attending all the live classes you are able to, but we know life is still happening outside of training and you’ll have space to make up hours you have missed. Please let us know ahead of time if you need to miss a session so that we can plan accordingly. You have 2 weeks after the course to complete any missing assignments and hours.
Do you have payment plans?
Absolutely! It is important that our training is accessible to as many folks as possible. Please reach out to us to arrange a payment plan that works for you.
Do you have scholarships?
We want to make our training as accessible and inclusive as possible. If you want to attend, but cost is a real barrier, or you are experiencing disadvantage or hardship, you can apply for a scholarship. Our scholarships are for those in underserved, under-resourced, and underrepresented communities or situations, BIPOC, LBGTQ+, and those in early recovery or needing support in their recovery journey.
