Retreat to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Tahoe, California, for a transformative yoga and hiking retreat that perfectly blends exhilarating adventure with deep relaxation. This five-day journey, led by Sally Mitchell of Body Flows Retreats, offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in daily yoga and meditation practices set against the stunning panoramic views of the crystal-clear Lake Tahoe and the majestic alpine mountains. This awe-inspiring setting is guaranteed to inspire inner peace and presence at every step.
Our retreat is hosted at the gorgeous, private lake and beachfront resort, Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge & Spa, situated on the beautiful South Shore of Lake Tahoe, California. This premier venue offers an incredible, secluded, and peaceful setting, complete with its own private stretch of sandy beach and sweeping views of the tranquil blue waters and alpine vistas.
The accommodations are designed to offer a warm, rustic Tahoe experience, furnished with classic pine log furnishings and decor.
All rooms include a gas fireplace, mini-fridge, and, most importantly, a private balcony or patio overlooking Lake Tahoe, ensuring every moment is steeped in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Single, double, triple, or quadruple occupancy options are available.
Guests can enjoy the resort's private beach, relax at the heated outdoor pool and hot tub, or book treatments at the onsite spa, Elements of Tahoe (additional cost).
The retreat schedule is thoughtfully designed to provide a perfect balance of movement and stillness in one of nature's most awe-inspiring settings.
We offer 1-2 daily yoga classes for all levels, incorporating guided meditations.
The morning Vinyasa Yoga and Meditation sessions are often held on the resort’s private beach, linking movement with the breath for an energizing yet relaxing flow. The sequences are creative and balanced, focusing on strengthening, lengthening, detoxing, and pranayama. The early evening classes feature deeply restorative Yin Yoga, with longer held postures to release tension and encourage inward reflection.
Embrace a sense of adventure with invigorating alpine hikes through serene forest trails, reconnecting with nature at every step.
The retreat includes three alpine hikes with spectacular lake and mountain views. Guests will have options for distances between 2-4 miles on each hike (or longer/shorter depending on preference), exploring trails at approximately 6,000–7,000 ft altitude.
Guests will enjoy three delicious, healthy, nourishing meals per day. The cuisine is primarily plant-based with fish and poultry options, and can accommodate special dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free) if requested ahead of time.
Between activities, enjoy free time to explore additional hiking trails, have fun on the lake with water sports (like stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking), go for a swim, or simply relax on the shoreline, soaking in the tranquility and spectacular Lake Tahoe sunsets.
