When does the retreat start?
Retreat starts at Red Cliffs Lodge on October 16th at 11:00 am (We pick up in Grand Junction at 8 am)
Please have lunch before arriving, or bring something with you. We will hike from 11:30 to 4:00
What about transportation to the retreat?
We will arrange a shuttle to pick up in Grand Junction on October 16th around 9 am and head to Red Cliffs Lodge which is 1.5 hours away.
You may also see what flights are available right in to Moab and take a shuttle to Red Cliffs Lodge
What if I come in a day early:?
Most people will want to fly in the afternoon on the 15th to Grand Junction Colorado because they have more flights available. Then stay in Grand Junction that night (many reasonable hotels by the airport) *If you would like a room mate for Saturday the 14th let us know. Also some people prefer to fly in to Moab and stay the night on the 14th. This is also a great option and then you can get a taxi or shuttle to Red Cliffs by 11:00 in the morning on the 15th
The Women’s Quest shuttle will pick up on the 16th at 11 am so you have time to fly in on the 16th but you must land and get your luggage by 9. It is a small airport so flying in the day of the retreat should work if you can land by 8 am.
We cannot wait for you if your flight is delayed.
Shuttle cost is $50 each way

We will end the retreat around noon on October 20th. For those leaving out of Grand Junction we will have 2 vans heading back. One van will leave at 12:30 (arriving by 2) and the other van will leave at 2:30 (arriving at 4 pm) It will take apporcimately 1.5 hours to get to the airport

Am I in good enough shape for this retreat?
Most likely! We adapt to all levels of fitness for this yoga retreat in Utah. You can choose your pace. We have a variety of trail options for walking/hiking/running/mt biking. Groups are formed according to each woman’s level of fitness, experience, and desire to challenge themselves. We do suggest that you start a training or workout program before you come so that you can get the most out of the retreat. Your training does not need to be a hard-core program…just get out and PLAY and BE ACTIVE several days a week.
What weather can I expect?
Daily high temperatures from 76°F to 61°F, rarely falling below 50°F or exceeding 85°F.
Daily low temperatures from 50°F to 38°F, rarely falling below 29°F or exceeding 58°F.
How might the altitude affect me?
The two major differences between altitude and sea level are decreased oxygen density and decreased humidity. The most important thing you can do to minimize the affect of altitude is to DRINK A LOT OF WATER! If you fly to the retreat, be sure you drink at least 32 oz. of water on the airplane. Avoid alcohol and get extra sleep the week before the retreat. We will ease you into activities and provide tips for adjusting to the change in altitude. Moab is around 4,500ft.
Do I need to be an athlete to attend this retreat?
No. We consider “Everyone an Athlete” and we welcome all ability levels. A variety of options are available for our walks and runs depending on each person’s comfort level. If you can, we suggest you start a training or workout program at least a few months before you come so you can get the most out of the weekend. It does not need to be a hard-core program, just get out, play and be active a few days a week. If you just can’t find the time, don’t worry, there will always be others in the same situation and the supportive staff will help you along.
What is the average age on this retreat?
