Women's Yoga and Adventure Retreats

Yoga, Adventure, Community and Culture Everyday!

Join me in my gorgeous hometown of Seward, Alaska for a truly unique retreat experience. Hike, paddle, and play in the wild mountains and waterways with a supportive group of women. Enjoy daily yoga practice and mindfulness as you delight in our beachfront accommodations. Together we will dine on local foods and beverages, create with local artists and of course rest and reset. I hope to curate a truly memorable and inspiring vacation for you. I want you to discover a new place and maybe some new things about yourself and your practice.

The Town

Seward, Ak is a picturesque community of 3000 nestled on the edge of Resurrection Bay surrounded by glorious mountains. Our lush temperate rainforests, glaciers, rivers, and beaches are perfect for a multitude of outdoor recreation. From Seward we can access the Chugach National Forest, Kenai Fjords National Park and a number of state parks.

The Accomodations

We have the honor of staying at Salted Roots or Rustic Roots. They are located on Lowell Point, a quaint and stunning beach community outside of Seward.

The Adventures

The Seward area is full of dramatic hikes with panoramic views. Hikes take us to icefields, alpine meadows, and serene beaches. Enjoy paddleboarding or want to try it? We can paddle from our front door on Resurrection Bay or have happy hour drinks as we paddle Bear Lake. Kayaking and biking are both possibilities on our retreat.

The Yoga

Every day we will practice yoga together. It may be a vinyasa flow, arm balance workshop, restorative, power or play. We will also practice a variety of breathwork and mindfulness practices. All levels welcome; I will modify to suit your needs.

The Food

I'm a passionate cook and in past lives prepared food professionally. Each day I will provide a nutrious and delicious breakfast for you. Most days lunch will be provided and sometimes catered by local artisans. There will be at least 2 dinners provided, one of which will be authentic local foods cooked outside. On our adventures you will have the opportunity to sample local drinks, food products and dining options. It will be fun!

The Community

My goal as a facilitator is to create a sense of safety, support and connection in our retreat group. I want women to feel comfortable to step out of their comfort zone physically and emotionally. During the retreat there will be intentional community building activities based on yogic philosophy and practices.

Sample 5 Day Itinerary

Day 1

You fly into Anchorage and then either take a scenic train or Red Eye Rides down the scenic byway that leads to Seward. Either way it’s a breathtaking commute. When you arrive you will be greeted by yours truly and helped to settle into your accommodations.

We will gather for the first evening for some community activities and post travel yoga. After, maybe you go for a beach walk, snuggle up and read or go to bed early after a long day of travel.

Day 2

We gather in the morning for some yoga and meditation to start the day. After practicing we dine on a nutritious and delicious breakfast with a view of the water. After breakfast we set out for a hike to the bowl of Mt. Marathon where we enjoy a catered lunch in a stunning alpine meadow. We return to our beach accommodations and walk down to Miller’s Landing Cafe for a beach side dinner and drinks on their deck. Our group activities are wrapped up with some mindfulness and community activities before quiet time and bed.

Day 3

We start the day with a quick breakfast and coffee before we head out for a morning SUP on Resurrection Bay to Tonsina Point. After a light snack and a change of clothes we practice together in the yoga studio topped off by some Yoga Nidra. Sandwiches and salad for lunch at the accommodations followed by some personal time. That evening we will visit a local wine bar and walk the town of Seward for some shopping and exploring. Finally, we will gather for a group dinner at the Cookery, an award winning local restaurant.

Day 4

Our day starts with a hearty healthy breakfast before heading out to hike the Harding Icefield trail with our catered lunch.

We will return to our comfy homebase near the water for an evening of outdoor cooking, local seafood and beach fires. Our evening will close with some juicy bedtime yoga.

Day 5

Our last day begins with a lovely closing yoga session before a day free to adventure or relax as you please. Seward has sooo many options. I will also be available for paddleboarding or hiking if some want to join. That evening we will finish off with some community activities and possibly making our own self care products. Before you tuck in for sleep we will have the pleasure of a sound bath by a local healer.
