Sentry Lodge Wilderness Yoga Retreat

July 25-28th 2025

“After Enlightenment, chop wood, carry water” This Buddhist quote summarizes the inspiration for this unique experience.

Join us in the Esplande Range of the Northern Selkirks. Surrounded by pristine mountain terrain, crystal clear lakes, and brilliant wildflowers this place is truly a hiker’s heaven! Sentry Lodge sits at 7000 feet and we have the opportunity to hike up to 8000 feet. Typical days are a combination of open valleys, partially set trails, off trail and ridges.

You do not need to be an expert hiker for these trips. However a moderate fitness level is required in order to be prepared/comfortable to walk at a steady pace that is sustainable for 4-6 hours (with breaks, don’t worry). On the flip side, if you are looking to max out your heart rate at hiking boot camp, this retreat may not meet your needs :) Sentry Lodge is a spacious backcountry lodge to host our long yoga practices by the fireplace. In true backcountry style, there is a wood fired sauna. This retreat includes three nights of accommodation, hiking, healthy cuisine, yoga, guided introspection and 2 helicopter rides!

We meet west of Golden British Columbia for a helicopter flight into the lodge to kick this adventure off in style! Our team includes an ACMG hiking guide, a Chef and a Yoga Instructor to take care of all aspects of your backcountry experience. Joining me to lead these retreats are two talented Mountain Women and dear friends:

-Beth Purser of Revelstoke Retreats is an ACMG hiking guide and a skilled Yoga Teacher. Beth has been hosting her own retreats in the area for years.

-Julie Marshall is our Chef. She knows this area well from both summer and winter travel. Julie is part of the ACMG ski guide program. Julie’s magic in the kitchen will fuel our daily adventures.
