Let nature's peace flow into you as sunshine into trees.

What better place than Yosemite National Park, the birth place of wilderness preservation, to take time for yourself in the beauty of nature? In our busy lives we often move too quickly to experience life fully. On a Balanced Rock course we slow things down to create space for awareness, appreciation, and aha's. Our courses offer safe and supportive environments for new learning and personal discovery.

Join us for an experience that will bring you into the present moment.

Hike to mountain vistas or sit by the edge of an alpine meadow and see the grandeur of Yosemite with a renewed sense of awareness. Sometimes we need new surroundings to clearly see what we value most. Balanced Rock courses are designed to give you that perspective. On this adventure you will engage your whole self-mind, body, and spirit-in simply living each moment to its fullest potential. Find rejuvination and relaxation in the exquisite beauty of Yosemite on a Balanced Rock retreat.

The experts at Balanced Rock will craft an experience of a lifetime for you.

We pair a local Yosemite naturalist and wilderness guide with proven leaders in mindfulness teachings of yoga and meditation on every course. You will learn and practice tools for looking inward and cultivating awareness while exploring the natural landscape, either for the first time or from a new perspective. Your instructors will teach you the skills you need to feel safe and at home in the wilderness so you can be open to the lessons it has to offer. The goal of every program is to experience the present moment by forging a deep connection to the natural world.

The possibilities are unlimited; the only piece missing is you.
