About this Retreat
Your Guides
Autumn founded Ambuja Yoga in 2014 as a way to not only share her love of yoga, travel & adventure but as a way to cultivate intention, courage, grace and joy in her students. Since Ambuja Yoga’s start, Autumn has led nearly 25 yoga retreats in the United States and abroad. She has been featured on Insider.com, Self.com, Zappos.com, TravelMag.com and many more online publications.
Autumn Adams seamlessly blends her education in dance, Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga into dynamic, flowing classes that gently challenge her students to break old habits and move beyond perceived limitations. Autumn’s skilled hands-on adjustments will help you find your perfect alignment. Her style is light and approachable and she believes in the power of a good story as a tool for learning, so don’t be surprised when you hear an ancient story of the Gods and Goddesses of Hinduism or a modern tale from her adventures on and off of her mat.
She hopes her retreat attendees will leave her retreats with a feeling of aliveness, purpose/intention, and joy. Autumn encourages her students to be conscious creators… to have the courage to take risks (both big and small), the courage to listen deeply to their body, to their gut, to their heart, the grace to “roll with the punches” on this messy path we call life and to be willing to laugh at ourselves when we “fail”.
Details of this retreat
Join Ambuja Yoga for the Eleventh Annual Women’s “Glamping” Back to Nature Yoga Retreat in Oregon in July 2024. This women’s yoga retreat has been so successful we are now offering three sessions each year. In 2024 we are offering two 2 night yoga retreats July 19-21, 2024, July 21-23, 2024, and an extra special Back to Nature 2.0 3 night session July 25-28, 2024. We would love to see you this summer! This specific listing is for Session 1, the July 19-21 retreat.
It’s a good idea to plan ahead as these retreats always sell out. Sometimes months in advance!
Located just outside of Eugene, Oregon, at the Tipi Village Retreat in Marcola, this all-inclusive three-day women’s retreat is designed to help you unwind, deepen your yoga practice, and enjoy Oregon’s beautiful outdoors.
Book Early! This retreat will sell out just as quickly as last year and group size is capped at 22 (if Covid risk remains high, group size will be capped at 16).
The Tipi Village Retreat, nestled within the Pacific Northwest woods, is the perfect place for our “glamping” retreat as we celebrate the dog days of summer with creekside outdoor yoga, a beautiful local day-hike, and gourmet al fresco meals. At night you will find comfort within one of the Tipi Village’s beautiful tipis or cozy indoor rooms. Our women’s yoga retreat offers you the opportunity to deepen your yoga practice, recharge your soul, and find greater gratitude; an opportunity to shine your light and share your love on and off the mat.
