It’s time for you to unwind and recharge your soul.

The Back To Nature Women’s Yoga Retreat is three days of yoga, nature & community.

This is for you if you:

• Know in your bones it is time for a break
• Feel stuck in routine of life
• Are missing the energy you used to have for the things you love

After the retreat you will:

• Feel well-rested and recharged so you can be the best version of yourself
• Leave with a community of like-minded women who’ll be ready to support you
• Have the tools to personalize your yoga practice for your daily life 
  

You’re invited to join Ambuja Yoga for the Twelfth Annual Women’s “Glamping” Back to Nature Yoga Retreat in Oregon in July 2025.

This women’s yoga retreat has been so successful we are now offering four sessions each year. In 2025 we are offering two 3 night yoga retreats July 17-20, 2025 and July 24-27, 2025, and two 2 night yoga retreats July 20-22, 2025 and July 27-29, 2025. We would love to see you this summer!

It’s a good idea to plan ahead as these retreats always sell out. Sometimes months in advance!

Located just outside of Eugene, Oregon, at the Tipi Village Retreat in Marcola, this all-inclusive three-day women’s retreat is designed to help you unwind, deepen your yoga practice, and enjoy Oregon’s beautiful outdoors.

Book Early! This retreat will sell out just as quickly as last year and group size is capped at 22.

The Tipi Village Retreat, nestled within the Pacific Northwest woods, is the perfect place for our “glamping” retreat as we celebrate the dog days of summer with creekside outdoor yoga, a beautiful local day-hike, and gourmet al fresco meals. At night you will find comfort within one of the Tipi Village’s beautiful tipis or cozy indoor rooms. Our women’s yoga retreat offers you the opportunity to deepen your yoga practice, recharge your soul, and find greater gratitude; an opportunity to shine your light and share your love on and off the mat.

A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself. ~ Maya Angelou

Back to Nature Yoga Retreat Summer Availability

Accommodation Descriptions:

• Double Occupancy: This option is perfect for two friends or sisters; with a shared full, queen or king bed. Occasionally we can add an additional bed.
• Shared Tipi and Octahut: Perfect for those on a tighter budget that still want a weekend getaway or a group of friends. Octahut sleeps 5 and Sacagawea sleeps 3.
• Solo Yoginis: I recommend the shared tipi. It is a wonderful way to connect with your fellow yoginis. Due to limited space we are only offering three single occupancy tipis per session.
• Groups: Additional single beds are available for groups that would like triple occupancy. Please contact Autumn to add a third or fourth person to your tipi.
