Immerse Yourself in the Grandeur of the Tetons:

For the very first time in its rich, 75-year-plus history, Exum Mountain Guides is offering this unique experience of blending the exhilaration of Mountaineering with the depths of Yoga.  You will be led by Bhava Ram & Laura Plumb, Master Teachers and owners of Deep Yoga, teaming with Senior Exum Mountain Guide Christian Santelices. This remarkable weekend includes an overnight stay in the Rocks Springs Backcountry Yurt above Teton Village.

Experience the Joy, Power and Depth of Deep Yoga:

Yoga is far more than the beautiful postures designed to strengthen, stretch and invigorate your body.  It is a healing science of awakening to your deepest self, coming fully into the present moment, releasing stress & tension, connecting to the grace & beauty of nature and learning to unfold your fullest potential.  Bhava & Laura, both avid Mountaineers, will guide you in nature meditations, Yoga poses, breath work, and philosophical discussions woven throughout your ascent in the stunning Grand Tetons to make this among the most remarkable outdoor experiences ever.  You also will come away with healing and mindfulness techniques to practice in your daily life long after your vacation concludes, and be given a free copy of Bhava Ram’s book, “Deep Yoga: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times.”

Explore and Ascend through Mountaineering:

Seasoned guide Christian Santelices, an enthusiastic Yoga practitioner, will take you on a journey through the spectacular mountain country of the Tetons.  In addition to serving as one of Exum’s Senior Guides, Christian has climbed all over the world, including in the Alps, the Pyrenees, Mexico, Patagonia, South Africa, and Yosemite, and is an AMGA Certified Rock Guide. Christian will help you reach new heights as you experience technical rock climbing,  belaying, rappelling, knot tying and rope management along with remarkable hiking, nature explorations and immersion in the wilderness while learning more about the flora & fauna.  There will be unparalleled star-gazing at night as you sleep at the Rock Springs Back Country Yurt.

Your Retreat Includes:

Mountaineering, rock climbing, rappelling, hiking, communing with nature, star-gazing, morning and evening Yoga, pranayama, meditation and more.  You will be served a vegetarian dinner and breakfast (bring a lunch and snacks for both days).  Climbing and sleeping gear is provided by Exum (lodging at yurt is shared occupancy).  Please bring appropriate clothing (warm in daytime, cool at night), footwear (rock shoes may be rented from Exum for $10 per day), and don’t forget rain gear, sun protection, and a backpack.  Climbers and Yoga practitioners of all levels are welcome!
