Steamboat Springs, Co Nestled in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, Steamboat Springs offers a breathtaking backdrop for our fall yoga retreat. As the aspen leaves turn vibrant shades of gold and amber, the crisp mountain air carries a sense of peace and renewal. Surrounded by rolling hills, alpine meadows, and serene hot springs, this charming mountain town invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature. Whether you're gazing out over the Yampa Valley at sunrise or practicing yoga under a canopy of changing leaves, Steamboat’s natural beauty creates the perfect setting for reflection, balance, and inner stillness.
Join Mel Afflerbach as she guides you through an unforgettable 4-night, 5-day retreat in the majestic mountain landscape of Steamboat Springs, Colorado—where the golden hues of autumn, crisp alpine air, and natural beauty come together to support deep yoga practice, mindfulness, and sisterhood. This immersive retreat is designed for women seeking rest, rejuvenation, and a transformative journey into their own bodies, minds, and spirits.
Steamboat Springs, with its rolling hills, vibrant fall foliage, and grounding energy, is the perfect setting to disconnect from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with your true self. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, this retreat offers a safe and nurturing space for all levels to explore and deepen their practice in a supportive and inspiring environment.
