It is just as beautiful as i remember it. There are many buildings where you will participate or can participate in various things . There are also several hiking trails available to you to use. There are currently a lot of moose in the area so if you go up and are out on the trails be sure to be on the look out. The day retreat started with some art. (this was okay, I went because my friend is into art. if i had been on my own i would have opted to go hiking instead during this time) After this was a break and then yoga class. Then lunch. They have a homemade vegetarian/vegan lunch. You can request gluten free in advance. Their food is seriously amazing! It is worth the price of the day retreat just to come and enjoy the food! It is so so good! After lunch, you can do an hour of volunteer work in the kitchen. It is the kind thing to do especially since the prices of their retreats are actually pretty afforable. give back. After that you have a couple of hours of free time to go do what you please. There is a pond you could kayak/canoe on. Or bring up your paddleboard. go hiking. Sit in the reading room. Sit on one of the hammocks in the trees. go meditate. so many choices! After that you can come back for an afternoon yoga class, and then dinner! Again so yummy! It is rare to find some place that can make such delicious homemade vegan and gluten free food. After that they do some ceremonial stuff, you can choose to participate in that or not. Highly recommend having a retreat here, it was very relaxing.

Listen MEN, it might sound like your worst nightmare to be taken to a yoga retreat for your…read morebirthday, but let me tempt you with this... partner yoga. Yes that's right, hot spandex and sports bra of your favorite lady helping you stretch out muscles you haven't ever stretched. Yes, it is sexy, but amazingly wonderful for the practice of yoga, intimacy and stretching. There are some retreats where you go to get pampered, but this is not one of them. The cabins are run down, the grounds kept very simple, and the food is vegetarian, but pampering is not part of the theme of the retreat, Shoshoni is more focused on the practice of yoga and meditation. Yogis live up at the retreat and are the people who take care of your classes, your meditations, the cooking, and the serving... It almost starts to feel like camp, where you start pinpointing the ones in your head of who you want to hook up with. You have a couple different options for accommodations. I went all out and got the private cabin, which was only $115 person. I say ONLY because this also included three meals, three yoga classes, two meditations, the use of the retreat grounds, and use of the hot tub and sauna. You can pay less and stay in a same sex dorm, an electricity free cabin, or you can camp it somewhere on the Shoshoni property. Obviously, since I singed up the partner yoga class with my boyfriend, I needed the private cabin. It was his birthday, so I had to go all out. The partner yoga class was an extra $70 and lasted about an hour and half. It was the best part of the retreat. I wanted to give this retreat more stars, but I just can't. The retreat is missing that magical something that would make us want to come back. The yoga classes were too short and not advance enough, and the cabin was really outdated and old. The extra step to offer more choices for classes of different levels, and more one-on-one time with the instructors would definitely improve the score. If you go, make sure to sign up for private yoga classes, and/or massages and facials. * Star one for the steamin' partner yoga ** Sweat it up star two is for the.... SAUNA (silly goose you), which was the perfect way to end a long day *** the final star goes to the dessert at lunch on the final day, those peanut butter balls were scrumptious!

Teachers-owners Alex And Heidi have deep knowledge of anatomy, sequencing, alignment, and yoga philosophy that's evident in their teaching. They offer students a lot of invaluable individualized attention and adjustments (for those comfortable being adjusted). While I've practiced yoga on and off for about a decade, I felt pretty stagnant in my yoga practice for years until discovering Twilight Yoga. The instruction they offer helps give me tools to deepen poses and work towards challenging postures that aren't currently accessible, which in turn feeds my engagement with and excitement about the practice. Also really appreciate that they offer a great range of class times and challenge levels. Highly recommend!

Kaiut Yoga is the first thing that has truly made a lasting difference. Not only has it significantly improved my back pain, but it's also relieved the everyday aches and stiffness throughout my body. The instructors are absolutely incredible, and Kristin is phenomenal. Every class is welcoming, intentional, and leaves me feeling stronger, more mobile, and genuinely restored. I've practiced yoga and Pilates for over 15 years, and I can honestly say Kaiut Yoga is unlike anything I've experienced. It focuses on restoring the body, improving joint mobility, and helping you move better in everyday life. It has a restorative quality that no other workout or yoga class has given me, and I leave every class feeling better than when I walked in. I can't recommend Kaiut Yoga enough. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain or simply want to move and feel better, this practice is truly life-changing.

Boulder Community Tai Chi Chuan is the perfect place to begin or continue your study of the…read morebeautiful art of Tai Chi. Derived from centuries-old Chinese martial arts, the modern form of Tai Chi as taught here has been distilled to a neatly choreographed routine of 37 postures linked by elegant, fluid movements which are gentle enough to allow practice by all; my class ranged in ages from 20's to 80's. Benefits include improved balance, strength, flexibility, and a sense of calm. Owner and instructor Jon Lears has developed a nuanced teaching style that is efficient, rigorous and disciplined while maintaining a light touch of friendliness, humor, and humility. His love for the art is infectious and his mastery obvious. The classes proceed methodically, with sufficient review and repetition, and no one is left behind; questions are patiently answered with precise demonstration. I originally tried to learn Tai Chi from random YouTube videos; only after study with Mr. Lears (who is often superbly assisted by his wife Amy) did I understand how out of context most videos are presented and how ultimately unhelpful they were. There is no substitute for learning in person. Boulder Community Tai Chi Chuan has very reasonably-priced classes for all levels in a large, clean, bright space in a part of Boulder with easy access and parking. My highest recommendation.

I first met Scott through Chinese Medical school, where he taught Taiji, and soon thereafter began…read morestudying Bagua with him. While most in the Alternative arts and medicine community have incredible hearts and caring personalities, very few have achieved what I would call a high-level of practice, or, "Master" status. It takes a dedicated practice and training with highly qualified teachers (the 2 main factors that are missing in most practitioners'/teachers' backgrounds). Scott has trained intensively (and I'm not talking about a year here or few months there) with the best, and continues to dedicate himself to his practice to this day. Scott's expertise becomes more and more apparent the longer you study with him, as he never shows off his abilities or strains to prove himself. I wish nothing more than for him to get into the ring with one of these "Mixed Martial Arts" fighters, thoroughly kick their ass, and end that nonsense of a sport. Alas, he would never do such a thing. Scott's teaching style is very individualized, meaning everyone gets a lot of attention. He is attuned to the needs and sensitivities of each student, however different they are, and will adjust the lesson accordingly. From young children to older people, he has an enormous range as a teacher and instructor. I am looking forward to when my daughter will be old enough to begin taking kung-fu lessons with him. I recommend reading Scott's reviews for his San Francisco practice as well (don't miss the "filtered" ones), as there are some excellent testimonials of Scott as a teacher.

Where to begin, first of all about me and who I am, I'm 29 years old I've been studying buddhism,…read moremeditation, and body awareness practices steadily since I was about 12. I spent about 4 of those years heavily involved in aikido (w/ Frank Doran-sensei), kenjustsu (kashima shin-ryu) and kyudo (ANKF). More recently I spent about the last 5 years living in China as a full time live-in (gongfu) student of a daoist priest. I have been helping a friend teach some of his classes in the San Francisco area but have so far refrained from making it a personal profession though I have been encouraged to do otherwise. What to say about Scott? Having met various teachers in China, Japan, the US, and even some in South America, I have never met one that held a candle to Scott's mastery of gongfu (kung fu) as a vehicle for self defense, a cultural art form, or a vehicle for spiritual transformation, let alone all of them together or with an understanding of why they all matter and how they relate. I've met a lot of folks who traveled to china to live and train there, sometimes for years. It's really exciting to go to a place where it looks like "just in the movies". The thing about someone like Scott is... he's hard to spot. He doesn't live in a temple. He doesn't wear robes or have a topknot. He doesn't live in China and he's not Chinese. He doesn't even follow certain ritual forms of sounding profound that are standard among such teachers or drop buzzwords. So you typically need to have some background in order to see what he has. If you have a mature appetite for martial arts and want to train with the best, go check him out. If you are just curious and want to see what he's up to or if it's a good fit, he's very approachable and loves to talk about this stuff. If you're looking for cardio-kickboxing or to prove how tough you are to people, you should go somewhere else for that.
