Judith Hanson Lasater Retreat

The Judith Hanson Lasater Retreat is a week-long yoga retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch near Helena, Montana, set in the Big Sky country of the northern Rockies. It is part of the ranch's summer season of yoga and mindfulness programs, and it suits people drawn to a teacher-led week of practice in a quiet natural setting.

What to Expect

The retreat runs from a Saturday to the following Saturday, a full week at the ranch. Feathered Pipe hosts programs across many approaches, including hatha, Iyengar, restorative, vinyasa, bhakti, yoga nidra, and mindfulness and meditation. The organizer does not publish a daily schedule for this week, so the specific rhythm of sessions is set by the teacher.

Immediately afterward, Judith Hanson Lasater also co-leads a second, separate week at the ranch with Lizzie Lasater. Anyone drawn to her teaching can see both on the ranch's summer calendar.

About Judith Hanson Lasater

Judith Hanson Lasater leads this retreat. The ranch lists her among its summer teachers, and she appears twice in the season, once on her own and once alongside Lizzie Lasater.

The Setting

Feathered Pipe Ranch describes itself as a retreat center deep in the heart of Big Sky Montana, surrounded by pristine nature. The ranch hosts yoga retreats and wellness travel programs for every style and level of experience, so the surroundings are meant to be part of the practice as much as the classes themselves.

Before You Go

The ranch says its programs welcome every level of experience. Registration for the summer season opens on a set day announced by the ranch, and people who want advance notice can sign up for an email alert before it opens. Spaces at a retreat like this tend to be limited, so it helps to be ready when registration begins.
