Banff National Park

Alberta, Canada

September 10-15, 2024

1 spot just opened!

Join us for a cozy yet adventurous Canadian retreat located in the heart of Banff National Park.

Our private retreat home is situated in this small resort town overlooked by the towering peaks of Mt. Rundle and Mt. Cascade, part of the Rocky Mountains. In town, Banff Avenue is decorated with small boutiques, restaurants, château-style hotels and souvenir shops.

This experience will graciously refill your cup as you find yourself summiting mountain peaks overlooking world famous sights like Lake Louise, practicing yoga outside on the private balcony, enjoying home cooked nourishing meals, perusing the town, and connecting with yourself and other like minded people.

Be prepared to do your fair share of hiking, because you know, BANFF. Let’s go see the world, shall we?

The Retreat Château

This four story, 10-bedroom, newly renovated home is located just steps away from the charming town of Banff. With multiple seating areas, a large open kitchen, and spacious back deck overlooking the mountains, this home is sure to draw in community, comfort, and a lot of memories

  • Round trip group van transportation is offered and included from Calgary Airport to the the retreat château. We will have two designated pick up times from Calgary Airport on arrival date for carpool. If you prefer to rent and provide your own transportation, that is not included. The drive to retreat home is 2 hours from the airport, so two pick up times is what is offered.

    On departure day, group shuttles will leave the retreat house after 12pm check out day. If your departing flight is scheduled outside of this offering, you will need to make arrangements for your own transportation.

    Transportation to and from National Park(s) for adventure are included.

  • Group Park passes required for entry are included for the week.

    Hiking Schedule tentative and subject to change based on weather and other factors. We will aim to hike the following trails and sights:

    1. Big Beehive Trail, Banff - hard (6.7miles)

    2. Lake Agnes, Lake Louise, Banff - moderate (4.6miles)

    3. Sentinal Pass, Banff -hard (6.9miles)

    I have a wish list on top of these hikes and with time permitting, we will conquer all!

  • Our yoga schedule will depend on hiking as well as travel time to and from the parks! We always do our best to make a well rounded offering of both yoga and adventure!

  • Many attendees on retreats end up connecting on much deeper and spiritual levels. Come open to the possibility of new friends, perhaps for a lifetime!
