My whole family loves Shoshoni Yoga Retreat! We find it to be a place of tranquility, peace, and deep spirituality. The staff are always welcoming, kind, and responsive. The vegetarian food is absolutely amazing! We enjoy the beautiful property and the well-maintained and stunning hiking trails. We enjoy staying in the Eco cabins and campsites in the summer. The meditation and yoga practices offered are inspirational and rejuvenating. We recommend this retreat center in the mountains wholeheartedly!
