Judith Hanson Lasater Yoga Retreat

Judith Hanson Lasater leads a week-long yoga retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch, a retreat center in the Montana wilderness near Big Sky. It is open to yoga practitioners of any style and level who want a summer week of practice in a quiet mountain setting, with a teacher whose work centers on restorative yoga and the Iyengar tradition.

What to Expect

The retreat runs for a week in late July, one of several summer programs at the ranch. The Feathered Pipe schedule covers a wide range of practice, including hatha, Iyengar, restorative, vinyasa, yoga nidra, mindfulness and meditation. Judith Hanson Lasater teaches two sessions this season: her own week, and a following week shared with Lizzie Lasater, for those who want to practice with both teachers.

The Setting

Feathered Pipe Ranch sits deep in the heart of Big Sky country, surrounded by pristine Montana nature. The ranch describes itself as North America's finest retreat center, and it hosts yoga, mindfulness, health and wellness programs throughout the summer. A week here means stepping away from daily routine and spending your days in the landscape as well as on the mat.

Before You Go

Feathered Pipe programs suit every style and level of experience, so you do not need to be an advanced student to take part. Registration for the season opens on a set Monday in late October, and the ranch offers an email notification list for anyone who wants to hear before it opens. Spaces in a popular teacher's week can fill, so it is worth planning ahead if you hope to attend.
