All About the Peaceful Ranch Retreat

Welcome to a transformative weekend on a picturesque horse ranch, where tranquility and connection await. Nestled amidst the enchanting landscape of old Florida, this yoga retreat offers a unique experience of sleeping in luxurious teepees, immersing yourself in nature's embrace.

As you arrive, you'll be greeted by the majestic canopies of ancient oak trees, casting dappled sunlight upon the ranch. The air is filled with a sense of serenity and the soothing sounds of nature. This idyllic setting sets the stage for a truly unforgettable journey.

Throughout the weekend, you'll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded women who share your passion for yoga and self-discovery. Together, you'll embark on a journey of inner exploration and growth, fostering deep connections and lifelong friendships.

This retreat offers a variety of yoga practices, catering to all levels and preferences. From gentle yoga flows to invigorating Vinyasa sequences, each session is thoughtfully designed to rejuvenate your body, calm your mind, and nourish your soul. The open-air yoga sessions allow you to breathe in the fresh country air and feel the earth beneath your feet, enhancing your connection with nature.

Moreover, enriching workshops and exciting group excursions are part of your journey. Curated with intention, activities such as horseback riding and scenic boat rides down St. Johns River augment your experience, providing adventures that are as enriching as they are enjoyable.

Each evening culminates around a warm, crackling bonfire where laughter and stories are shared under the starlit sky, creating memorable moments that last a lifetime. As the sun sets, the evenings are filled with warmth and laughter around a crackling bonfire. Sharing stories and experiences, you'll forge bonds with your fellow retreat participants. Let your inner child shine with our signature, No-talent Talent Show and see what Erin and Whitney have up their sleeves this time.

This weekend on the ranch is a chance to disconnect from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with your inner self. It's an invitation to embrace the beauty of old Florida, to find solace in the shade of ancient oak canopies, and to rediscover the profound connection between humans and nature.

Retreat Details

Location

This retreat is located in Apopka, FL. For this retreat, we have reserved an entire campground to ensure peace, tranquility, and privacy. At the end of a short country road, you will arrive to see your whimsical teepee awaiting you. At night, you'll hear the crackling of a campfire while you eat s'mores before winding down for bed. In the country, you're bid goodnight by a spectacular sunset before being wrapped in a blanket of stars in the wide open sky. In the morning, you will wake to the chirping of birds and fresh coffee delivered to your own personal teepee. For our water activities, we will float down the pristine, clear waters of Rock springs where you will see an array of wild birds, otters, and even fish, as well as marine plant life. We have the luxury of disconnecting from our devices and regular lives to immerse ourselves in nature during this retreat. You're invited to embrace every gift that mother Earth has to offer, from the butterflies to the rain showers- you are gifted the lesson in it all.

What is a "No Talent, Talent Show?"

A "no talent, talent show" is essentially our fun way of helping everyone at the retreat channel their inner child, share some laughs, and create lasting memories together. Talent? Not necessary! Erin and Whitney often lead the charge, with Erin usually coaxing Whitney into joining her for a playful act. Talent isn’t a necessity here, just a good spirit and willingness to have fun. We encourage costumes to add to the hilarity and enjoyment—it's all about letting loose and having a great time!

Inside your cozy teepee, you'll discover battery-operated lights and a fan to enhance your comfort.

This retreat is designed to help you unplug from the digital world and reconnect with both nature and yourself. We encourage you to embrace this opportunity to step away from constant connectivity and immerse yourself in the tranquil surroundings and personal reflection.

Travel Insurance Suggestions

While we do our best to hold our retreats rain or shine in order to offer guests the full experience of Earth's elements, we must always put safety first. With that being said, we do recommend travel insurance in the event of dangerous weather. We aim to notify our guests of cancellations at least four days in advance but also recognize that in Florida, severe weather can develop more quickly. Yoga Elements Retreats will refund 100% of what you have paid to us directly. If you book through a third party company, please be advised of their policies. We do not receive deposits from these companies until after retreats are finished, so we have no control on their decisions. January typically doesn't bring weather that poses as a threat to our retreats.
Responsible Travel

We love that you're here to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings, and we have a small favor to ask to keep it pristine. Please help us leave no trace that we were here. That means picking up all your trash and making sure nothing is left behind. Also, while it's tempting to get close to wildlife or feed the animals for that perfect photo op, we really need to respect their space and keep a safe distance. This helps keep both you and the animals safe and ensures that nature remains undisturbed. Thanks for helping us maintain the beauty and integrity of this special place!
