Weekend Outdoor Fitness Retreat to Mother Nature’s Gym
Featuring Melanie Webb
Author of Adventures in Mother Nature’s Gym
February 7 – 9, 2020
Red Mountain Resort, St. George, Utah
Join a weekend winter retreat with author Melanie Webb for her first Weekend Outdoor Fitness Retreat to Mother Nature’s Gym. The award winning Red Mountain Resort near sunny St. George, Utah will host this special 1.5 day/2 night outdoor fitness retreat. If you have an interest in enhancing your own personal fitness and connection to the natural world then this is a spa vacation for you!
Winter is an ideal time to slow down and tune in to our own biorythms. First you’ll be guided through daily core and stretching workouts. Then you’ll bike and hike as you explore the beauty of your Mojave Desert surroundings. You’ll eat delicious, nutritious food. Finally, you’ll join other active travelers in daily rituals around the fire, under the Milky Way Galaxy, and with music and dancing. Above all, you’ll tap into the restorative, nurturing energy of Desert Mind that Melanie explores in her book Adventures in Mother Nature’s Gym. 
Give yourself the gift of a few days immersed in the natural beauty of the redrock desert. Mother Nature’s love, support, solitude, and awe is waiting for you. And we look forward to retreating with you!
