Yoga, Body Yoga, Body

& Spirit


at Shambhala Mountain

Committed to the principle of embodied consciousness, Shambhala Mountain offers a variety of programs that cultivate the deep wisdom of the integrated body and mind. We take a contemplative approach to such body-based disciplines as yoga, tai chi and qigong.

We invite you to practice in our pristine natural setting in the Colorado Rockies, where you can allow your body, mind and spirit to unwind, and come into right relationship with yourself and your world.

To create a more intimate environment, we keep most of these class sizes small.
