Renew, Reset and Shine!

Escape to a stunning desert oasis designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Immerse yourself in breathtaking 360-degree mountain views, a serene saltwater pool, and lush palm-studded landscapes. Let nature's beauty and a star-filled night sky create the perfect setting for your rejuvenation.

Experience Blissful Yoga & Connection:

  • Flow through mindful aqua yoga and gentle land yoga sessions

  • Build meaningful connections in a friendly community

Unwind Your Way:

  • Soak in the warm, heated pool and hot tub

  • Bask under the radiant desert sun

  • Challenge a friend to pickleball on the private court

  • Enjoy billiards or bocce ball for some lighthearted fun

  • Find peace in your cozy room with a restful nap

Evenings to Remember:

As the desert sky turns to dusk, gather with us for delicious dinners on the patio. Share laughter around the fire pit as shooting stars light up the sky. This is your time to reconnect, recharge, and simply be.

We can't wait to welcome you to this unforgettable retreat!

Feedback From Previous Aqua Yoga Retreats:

  • "If you ever want to do something really nice for yourself and hit the reset on the trajectory of your busy life, do this retreat."

  • "I really enjoyed the opportunity to disconnect and renew my heart and body. Before retreat my mind was not in a great place, but for a few days, I was truly able to tune into my body and heart and mind in ways I hadn't up to the retreat. Thank you for all of your offerings! I had a lot of fun at every gathering or class!"

  • "I felt relaxed and invigorated. This retreat had a profound effect on my mind, body and emotional wellbeing. I felt like I went on a two week vacation. Katherine is a fantastic instructor and is very responsive and in-tune with individual needs, and is very creative in the discussions and meditative class time. The aqua yoga makes me feel like I just had both a massage and a chiropractic visit. I love this retreat."

  • "It was reviving and relaxing at the same time and encouraged reflection. I felt both calm and energized as I left. A total stranger just looked at me the next day as I walked by, and said, wow, you are smiling. And I didn't even realize I was smiling. It's been a while since I felt like that."

  • “I have never had such an incredible experience with a community of women. This was like spending a long weekend in a hug. Katherine really knows how to set a safe environment. The classes themselves set the tone. There are so many things I loved."
