Retreat & Renewal with Annabelle Yoo

Retreat & Renewal with Annabelle Yoo is a yoga retreat at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. It is led by Annabelle Yoo and sits within the center's Yoga & Wellness programming. It suits people looking for a yoga retreat in Colorado that leans toward rest and restoration rather than performance, and who want to spend time at a mountain retreat center known for meditation and contemplative practice.

Retreat & Renewal runs on more than one set of dates through the season. The sessions led by Annabelle Yoo are weekend retreats, so the format is a few days away from ordinary routines rather than a long residency.

What to Expect

The name points to the heart of the program: a chance to slow down, restore energy and return to daily life more settled. Yoga is the practice at its center, offered in the setting of a place that also hosts meditation and mindfulness retreats, which gives the weekend a quiet, contemplative backdrop. Drala Mountain Center organizes its retreats around themes such as the Buddhist path, meditation and mindfulness, creative expression, yoga and wellness, and the natural world, and Retreat & Renewal belongs to the yoga and wellness strand.
