Retreat Yourself

Retreat Yourself

Just Show Up and Let someone else take care of the rest with overnight wellness adventures around Utah.

When was the last time you took a vacation where you came home feeling really relaxed? As much as we don’t want to admit it, some vacations can be more work than imagined from planning where to stay, to finding meals, to figuring out where to hike, bike and explore. This is why retreats can be a great fit if you are looking for someone else to do the legwork and want to just sit back and let the vacation unfold. To help plan this out we’ve got a handful of upcoming retreats throughout Utah in 2018 for you to check out.

Holiday River Expeditions

Stand up paddleboard, rafting and yoga

Life has a way of slowing down when you head out onto the water for an overnight expedition. Join yoga and wellness instructor Melanie Webb for a 4 day, 3 night adventure on the Colorado River. Relax and enjoy the calm sway of the water and tune out as you sleep under the stars. This adventure will give participants both the thrill of class IV whitewater rapids and easy mellow stand up paddle board sections. Space is limited though due to permitting so don’t hesitate in signing up.
