Back to Nature Womens Yoga Retreat in Oregon

You’re invited to join Ambuja Yoga for the Thirteenth Annual Women’s “Glamping” Back to Nature Yoga Retreat in Oregon in July 2026.

Recognized as one of the best women’s yoga retreats in Oregon, the Back to Nature Retreat now offers three sessions each summer due to growing demand. In 2026, join us for two 3-night retreats (July 16–19 and July 23–26) or a 2-night retreat (July 26–28).

Whether you’re craving a full weekend of rest or a quick midweek reset, we’d love to welcome you next July!

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-four day women’s retreat is designed to help you unwind, deepen your yoga practice, and enjoy Oregon’s beautiful outdoors.
