12th Annual Back to Nature Women’s Yoga Retreat in Oregon, July 2025

best-women-yoga-retreat-oregon

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

Meet Your Instructors

Autumn Adams
E-RYT 500, CPNYT, YACEP

Autumn-yoga-retreat-leader

In 2014, Autumn launched Ambuja Yoga, driven by a dream—to weave her love for yoga, travel, and adventure into a tapestry of intention, courage, and grace for her students. Over the past decade, Autumn has orchestrated over 30 transformative retreats empowering women to prioritize themselves and embrace a life brimming with self-love and fulfillment. Each retreat is a magical journey, where attendees depart with a newfound sense of self, purpose, and the ability to imbue their intentions into every facet of their lives.

Autumn’s classes are a delightful blend of her extensive education in dance, Hatha, and Vinyasa Yoga. She crafts dynamic, flowing sessions that gently nudge students to break old habits and explore new boundaries. Her teaching style is light, approachable, and often sprinkled with engaging stories from Hindu mythology or her own life adventures, making each class a unique experience.

What Autumn loves most about yoga is its transformative power—the way it shifts our mindset from “I can’t” to “How can I?” She inspires her students to become conscious creators, urging them to take risks, listen deeply to their bodies, intuition and hearts, and embrace life’s winding path with grace and humor.

Her retreats have been featured in publications like Insider.com, Shape.com, Zappos.com, Asia Spa, Direct Holiday, and Bend Nest.

Outside of yoga, you can find her chasing down her free spirited little boy, hiking in the mountains, or swimming in the sea.

Are you ready to transform your life? NOW is the time to embark on an adventure of self-discovery and empowerment!

Toni Larson
E-RYT 500, YACEP

Oregon yoga retreat instructor

Toni embarked on her yoga journey in 2010, earning her first certification. By 2017, she completed advanced training in Shamanic Therapeutic Yoga. Her classes are a unique blend of alignment, the energy body, and the elements.

Toni is more than a yoga teacher. She’s a Spiritual Mentor, Reiki Practitioner, and Retreat Leader. When she’s not guiding others, this Oregonian loves riding her mountain bike, hiking, gardening, whipping up delicious food, or reading a book under the trees.

Her heart’s calling is to show you how courageous, strong, and beautiful you truly are. Anything is possible when you soften and embrace your authentic self. Toni proudly calls herself an Earth Keeper, Spiritual Mentor, and Yoga Teacher.

She’ll encourage you to follow your heart and feel your way through this journey. There are no mistakes here—just a call to learn, heal, grow, and live fully alive.

Welcome to this journey. Let’s explore it together.
