About this trip

An Aspen Women's Yoga, Hiking, Hot Springs, and Meditation Retreat 


August 14th -18th, 2024~




Next August 14th -18th, 2024 come along for an alpine retreat and adventure unlike any other. A nature bath in one of the most beautiful corners of Colorado for all women.



Imagine yourself surrendered by scenic mountains, star gazing and unwinding in fresh mountain air with space to relax, explore, practice, meditate, practice, create, and connect, thrive, and adventure! 


Join me for a summer retreat in Aspen in one of my favorite little mountain towns in Colorado for a petite week of yoga, hiking, hot springs, relaxation, nature, art, and meditation.  


Slow down, pause, and revel in daily yoga, the option to add additional adventures on your own, an art workshop, and more. We will slow down in our yoga practices to enjoy and explore the energetics and alignment of asanas, proper breath work, and a variety of guided mindful and vipassana meditations. 


Students will also have the option to pop around town or simply soak up more time at the hotel and lodge, check out town, or get out for an epic guided adventure hike, fishing, or more with a trusted guide. 


All students are encouraged to join but basic outdoor knowledge and some hiking experience is encouraged as this is a high-altitude mountain retreat. 


Retreat yourself and create space to slow down and share a wonderful long weekend with a fantastic group of adventurous, mindful, and nature-loving women. 




 -- Please note: we will all carpool to the hot springs outside Carbondale, and to a meal or two in town.

Get to Know the Inn at Aspen


Meet Me at the Base



Set not far from both town center and the iconic and stunning Maroon Bells, the Inn at Aspen is a retreat and refuge built for nature lovers, and adventure seekers. 


Experience a mountainside refuge that’s just a few minutes drive into the town center.


Boasting the convenience of fully furnished units along with modern resort amenities, this is where the allure of the mountains finds its way home.


Perfectly positioned at the base of Buttermilk Mountain, the Inn at Aspen bring a lowkey lifestyle to Aspen. With approachable accommodations, an outstanding barbecue restaurant, ski-in ski-out access, and a host of outdoor amenities, The Inn at Aspen offers something for everyone.









YOGA:

We will be practicing a strong, dynamic, and compassionate yoga practice and flow marrying together the traditions of Iyengar and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. We will slowly and mindfully weave our way through alignment-based practices each day taking time to workshop asanas and come-see-come-look moments giving students the opportunity to demo postures as we practice. Expect longer holds, break-downs of alignment and postures, and a focus on the breath. Classes are appropriate for all levels from beginners to advanced practitioners and teachers. We ask students to be truly curious and expect to take a deep and joyful dive into the practice and your own inner ecology and wilderness.




MEDITATION: 

We will be practicing guided Vipassana and Mindful Meditation during the retreat including breath meditations, heart meditations such as the Loving Kindness/Metta Meditations, and compassion meditations.





HIKING:

We will be getting out for a couple of hikes during our time on retreat. They will be moderate in difficulty, however we are hiking at high elevation which can increase the difficulty.  We will go easy and not push it too hard when hiking. We will take breaks for the group and listen to our needs. 


 Please bring good and supportive hiking shoes, a daypack to hike with, a reusable water bottle, a hat, sunscreen, and layers as we know Colorado weather can change in a flash.

A wonderful retreat with Mary and new friends on the beautiful island of Kauai!! My first time on the island… simply an amazing place! Mary was not only a great yoga instructor but her shared island adventures with us was just perfect! Beautiful accommodations, fun shopping, beach cleanup day, shared meals, paddle boarding, plenty of sun & surf, lei making and many breathtaking site seeing photo opportunities …. An all around wonderful trip!! Thank you Mary for a memorable experience!!

I enjoyed the kids yoga teacher training. Mary Stults is a wealth of information. I am excited to get started.
By Barbara P for Kids Yoga Teacher Training with Adventure Yoga For Kids (50HR) on Oct 10, 2023
This trip was so great!! I had the pleasure of attending this trip in the past and couldn't wait to attend again. things have only gotten better since I last went. All of the accommodations were great, close to shops and events, and the activities are well thought out and things I would not have thought of myself. The paddle along the cliff sides is breathtaking, and the VIP experience at Cova d'en Xoroi is a once in a lifetime experience. i wouldn't hesitate to attend more Trips with Mary Susan.

Thank you, Mary for the experience of a lifetime! Mary was very prepared for any and all circumstances during our many adventures, most of which I can personally say gave me the assurance and comfort to have the best day ever on our excursions. Mary provided all dietary accommodations offered at each food venue, gave valuable insights on local customs and celebrations, personally vetted and obtained trusting relationships with all activity guides, prioritized safety protocols, and prepared a backup plan for all the weather interruptions on the trip. More importantly, at each major point in the trip she was conscious of each person’s needs for well being and rest. I personally could not have had a successful boating excursion without her peppermint oil and her guidance on how to position oneself on the boat. I also appreciated when, after seeing our state of being after a full day, she offered a lovely and deeply thoughtful meditation instead of her personalized yoga class (which I can attest gives invaluable insight into improving foundational yoga poses). I want to note that her yoga practice is not strictly abiding, and she values the allowance and space to move in a way that suits each body and mind. With no stone unturned, she offered a wide array of accessible yoga and meditation resources after the trip with thoughtful detail via email, and shared amazing photos that we could all view on all devices. Everyday offered something new and exciting, as she allowed space on the itinerary to offer some fun evening activities based on special events. We were in awe of Barcelona and Menorca for its beauty and its people. I’m grateful for Mary’s nurturing and knowledgeable approach to all her activities, as well as the friendships formed with each lovely woman on the trip. If you want countless opportunities for something your soul can smile about, I would go on one of her adventures.

It was an amazing trip! Mary had everything planned, tickets purchased, and all we had to do was show up! All the adventures were amazing! 100% worth it!
