Marla Apt Yoga Retreat

Marla Apt leads this yoga retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch in Big Sky, Montana, one of the week-long gatherings that make up the ranch's summer season. It is for yoga practitioners who want a full week of practice set in the Montana mountains, with a teacher they can settle in with and a retreat center built for exactly this kind of stay.

What to Expect

Feathered Pipe describes its retreats and travel programs as mindfulness, health and wellness experiences, and its offerings across the season range widely: hatha yoga, yoga therapy, Iyengar yoga, restorative yoga, vinyasa, bhakti yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, and shamanism and self-empowerment. Marla Apt's week sits within that tradition of immersive, retreat-style yoga, spent away from daily routine and close to the land. A daily schedule and session times have not been published, so the specific shape of each day is best confirmed with the ranch.

The Setting

Feathered Pipe Ranch is a retreat center deep in the heart of Big Sky country, surrounded by what the ranch calls pristine Montana nature. It bills itself as North America's finest retreat center, and the location is a large part of the appeal: open sky, quiet, and a landscape that supports slowing down. The ranch hosts a series of teacher-led weeks through the summer, and this is Marla Apt's.

Before You Go

The ranch says its yoga retreats suit every style and level of experience, so you do not need to be an advanced practitioner to take part. Registration for the season has not yet opened, and the ranch offers an email notification list for those who want early word before it does.
