What to Expect

The following is a general daily itinerary for your week with us. The schedule each day and week is highly flexible, dependent on a number of factors, and subject to change upon short notice so that our team can bring you the best experience possible.

Day 1 (Tuesday)

Arrive in Billings/Red Lodge, MT.

• If flying, a staff member will collect you as a group and drive you to the base camp.

• If you are driving, please plan to arrive in camp no later than 3 pm.

• Welcome and Orientation are at 5pm, followed by dinner and evening yoga.

Day 2 - 5

We will start every morning with the opportunity for coffee and light morning snacks before Morning Yoga (active & invigorating to kick off the day) at 7am, followed by breakfast at 9am. You will have a workshop, class or excursion during the day with a stop for lunch, and Evening Yoga (stretching & restorative) before dinner.

Over the course of the week, we will be exploring the plantlife, ecology, geology, geography and even paleontology of the local natural surroundings.
