Yoga Retreat in Utah: Why Practice at ULUM
At ULUM Moab, wellness flows as naturally as the red rock horizons that surround you when you step onto the mat. Situated at the base of Looking Glass Arch, our secluded desert sanctuary invites you to ground into stillness, move with intention, and connect with the rhythms of nature. Here, days unfold seamlessly – balancing exploration of Moab’s wonders with moments of restoration at your own pace. It’s where comfort and wellbeing meet, framed by Utah’s most breathtaking landscapes. Discover why ULUM Moab is the perfect destination for a yoga retreat enriched by thoughtfully curated wellness offerings.
Why Choose The Desert as a Teacher
The desert southwest is a natural guide for reflection and renewal. Towering sandstone formations, endless skies, and quiet expanses create a presence that feels both ancient and grounding. A yoga retreat in Utah is not only about practicing postures, but also about attuning to the stillness and spaciousness that the land itself offers. Whether you arrive seeking rest, discovery, or deeper connection, the desert is a teacher, and ULUM Moab provides the space, amenities, and guidance to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply be.
Find Stillness with an ULUM Moab Yoga Retreat
Through mindful movement and grounding moments of stillness, your practice becomes more than exercise – it becomes a ritual during your stay.
Complimentary Guided Yoga
Each morning begins with complimentary guided yoga on our private deck, framed by the vast desert and Looking Glass Arch, a natural focal point. Supported with VUORI mats and blocks (and apparel available for purchase in our lobby), each practice invites you to find strength through asana, flexibility through flow, and mindfulness through breath. Set the tone for your day by stepping onto the mat and creating space for yourself before embracing desert adventures, whether in wellness or exploring Moab’s wonders.
Private Guided Yoga
For a personalized practice, we can arrange a private yoga session before sunset. Whether you’re seeking individual attention, thoughtful modifications, or a meaningful shared experience with family, friends, or even a bachelorette party, our instructors craft a practice designed just for you. Each session blends mindful movement, intentional breathwork, and moments of deep grounding surrounded by desert beauty.
Adventures in Wellness Beyond the Mat
Yoga retreats in Utah are as much about life off the mat as they are about the asanas themselves. At ULUM Moab, we invite you to expand the benefits of your yoga practice with a holistic wellness retreat that unfolds at your own pace.
Complimentary experiences are optional for guests and include crystal sound baths, tea blending, plant medicine walks with an herbalist, and restorative plunge pools. Each offering invites you to explore wellbeing in new ways, open energy pathways, and support your personal wellness journey with ancient wisdom – set against the backdrop of sweeping desert views at every turn.
Nourish with Intention
After practice, wellness continues at our restaurant and smoothie bar. Savor a made-to-order smoothie, specialty coffee, or ceremonial-grade matcha. Linger on the terrace or in the air-conditioned lobby with a nutritious Southwest-inspired meal as you watch the golden light illuminate Looking Glass Arch.
Soak in Hot and Cold Dipping Pools
Soothe your muscles and invigorate your senses. Hot and cold dipping pools invite you to experience the many benefits of contrast baths – a timeless wellness ritual that rejuvenates circulation, boosts immunity, and revitalizes body and mind, especially after a morning yoga practice or afternoon hike – while soaking in the serene desert atmosphere.
Targeted Wellness with Massage
For a touch of personalized wellness, book a massage inside a unique, one-of-a-kind setting – a historic red rock settler’s cave. Naturally cool and calm, this ambient setting becomes a private sanctuary for muscle release and a moment of relaxation.
Crystal Sound Bath Meditations
Let the ancient resonance of singing bowls wash over you as you lie in savasana or stretch gently beneath the desert sky. Surrender to vibration and stillness, carried on the evening air. Sound bath meditations quiet the mind, align the body’s energy, and create deep calm. Discover the many benefits of sound bath meditation and learn how to prepare for your session.
Tea Blending
Continue your journey of self-discovery through the art of tea blending. Guided by our team, explore the therapeutic qualities of five natural herbs and craft your own personalized infusion. Take your blend home as a reminder of the balance and clarity you discovered in the desert.
S’mores Under the Stars
Life’s all about balance: mind, body, and soul. In the evening, gather by the fire and indulge in gourmet s’mores under the stars. It’s a moment of sweetness and laughter, reminding us that wellness is about nourishing both body and spirit.
Connect with the Cosmos
Far from city lights, ULUM Moab is a certified DarkSky Resort where the cosmos takes center stage. Each night offers the chance to pause beneath an infinite sky, where constellations, planets, and even the Milky Way reveal themselves in striking clarity. Guests can enjoy cosmic-inspired mocktails, practice the ancient ritual of moon bathing, or simply recline in stillness, letting the night sky expand awareness. Each evening is an invitation to connect with something far greater than yourself.
Desert Suites for Renewal and Connection with Nature
As the day winds down, retreat to your desert hideaway – a safari-inspired Suite Tent thoughtfully designed with luxury amenities to enhance your comfort and wellbeing. Each suite offers a king-size bed dressed in Parachute linens, a comfortable lounge area, an ensuite bathroom with Aesop amenities, West Elm furnishings, and a wood-burning stove, creating a sanctuary of warmth and style. Step outside to your private deck and sip coffee as the sun rises, watch the desert glow at sunset, or recline beneath the night sky.
