Jessica Cartwright & Jen Kossin Retreat

Jessica Cartwright and Jen Kossin lead a short yoga retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch, a retreat center in the Montana wilderness near Helena. It is the first program of the ranch's summer season, a four-night stay for anyone drawn to practicing yoga in a quiet mountain setting.

What to Expect

The retreat runs for four nights as the opening gathering of the ranch's summer schedule. Feathered Pipe's yoga retreats and travel programs welcome every style and level of experience, and the ranch's offerings range across hatha, Iyengar, restorative and vinyasa yoga, bhakti yoga, yoga nidra, yoga therapy, mindfulness and meditation. The material does not name the particular style Jessica Cartwright and Jen Kossin will teach, so it is best to ask the ranch or the teachers about the focus of their days together.

The Setting

Feathered Pipe Ranch describes itself as a retreat center deep in the heart of Big Sky Montana, surrounded by pristine nature. Retreats here are built around that landscape: time away from ordinary routines, outdoors and in the open air, with the practice at the center. The ranch hosts a full season of teachers through June, July, August and September, and this retreat begins that season.

Before You Go

Feathered Pipe programs suit every level of experience, so you do not need to be an advanced practitioner to take part. Registration for the season opens on a set date announced by the ranch, and the ranch offers an email notification list for anyone who wants word before it opens. Anyone planning to come from out of state should arrange travel to Helena, Montana, in good time.
