- Yoga and Meditation Retreat at Bellyache Mountain Ranch Resort near the Flattops Wilderness Area (Yampa, CO) Featured in Yoga Vacation. The focus on this retreat is Mindfulness – in body, mind and spirit. The location offers a beautiful, remote and natural setting away from the hustle and bustle of life to begin to hear the voice of your spirit. An intention to access your own inner voice and a willingness to open your heart are possible criteria for this retreat. We will limit our retreat to 8 people. This retreat will emphasize “being” rather than “doing”, so all yoga, meditation and breathing practices will be slow, internally focused and mindful. This is not a posture clinic, but a weekend to bring yoga to every aspect of your being. Call for dates.
