Once you’ve settled in, you’ll stretch those traveling legs with a short afternoon yoga session and an introduction to Ayurveda (an ancient system of health and healing born from the same tradition as yoga).

Detailed Itinerary…
Day One
After arriving in Bozeman this afternoon, a shuttle will take you through the beautiful Gallatin Canyon up to your Powder Ridge Cabin, our home for the next 4 nights. Settle in, relax, soak in the hot tub and unwind from your travels with a yoga session. We will have a welcome meeting/dinner, get to know one another a bit and set the stage for the days to come.

Begin your day with a morning meditation or chose to get a few more zzzs and join us for our morning yoga/asana practice. After a healthy breakfast let’s get out on the slopes and see what this mountain has to offer. For lunch we will meet back up at the cabin and enjoy a fantastic lunch while we warm up and fuel up for some more snowboarding this afternoon. Conclude the day by soaking your bones in the hot tub and loosening up via an après ski yoga session. Tonight we dine at a local favorite in the Meadow Village, the Lotus Pad.
Day Three
A morning meditation practice is optional again today, followed by an invigorating yoga practice in order to start your day out right. After breakfast, it’s time to enjoy another day on the mountain. Hone your skills today as you are given some tips and individual attention towards your riding or maybe you choose to spend your one on one time exploring chutes or some big mountain riding that Big Sky has to offer. We will meet out on the mountain today for lunch at a fantastic little restaurant. Finish your day with an après ski yoga session to stretch out those muscles, cozy up by the fire, and enjoy dinner in this evening as our private chef creates a gourmet delight.

Ease into your day with a silent meditation or enjoy some fruit (offered every morning) and dive into your morning yoga practice to fire you up and prepare you for the days activities. Today, we take a day off of the slopes and explore other options winter activities.
