Cowgirl Yoga July Retreat Round Up






A few of my favorite things from last week's Cowgirl Yoga:

  • Trail riding with our yoga mats tied to the back of the saddles
  • Unidentified animal lumbering across the road in front of us in the Bridger mountains: it took a few moments of stunned silence to figure out it was a black bear
  • Healthy, sustainable, local - did I mention GOOD? - food at Bozeman's best restaurants
  • Our Cowgirl Yoga comedienne of the week
  • Yoga under the Big Sky in the Bridgers
  • Montana eye candy: Palisade Falls & Fairy Lake
  • Yeehaw moments: cowgirls cantering for the first time at the Ranch, one Cowgirl's Indian Princess ride
  • Namaste moments: discovering the joys of Ashtanga, pincha mayurasana, and saddle camel
  • MIKE (sorry, you had to be there)
It never ceases to amaze me that this is my job: sharing my favorite things about yoga and Montana. As the retreat leader, I too get to share the excitement and add to my own collection of Montana moments. And I've been saying this for years, since I first made yoga my full-time gig and recognized one of its unexpected gifts: I am so very grateful for the new friends I make through yoga that I would never otherwise meet. Yoga makes it all happen. 'Nuf said. Namaste.

    Agreed. It was the best time. I enjoyed every moment. The Montana Big Sky, gorgeous regal horses, those beautiful Bridger Mountains, the sweet smell of pine trees, amazing yoga, amazing food, and simply the feeling of cantering through the open fields on your new favorite horse... there is nothing like it. Riding a horse at that speed makes me feel alive. I have said it before but it is worth repeating...Thank you Margaret and Janice for one of the best vacations of my life. You both are wonderful, strong women and I cherish the memories.

    Namaste and Yeehaw,
    "The Indian Princess"
