Do Restorative Yoga for Runners
We all know how important gentle stretching is for tired running muscles, so included with your retreat package is a 75-minute stretching and lengthening yoga class designed specifically for runners. Hosted by our favorite yoga teacher in Moab, Star is a master of soothing sequences that cater to runner's needs, especially after a day on the trails.
You don't need any yoga experience at all to get the most from this relaxing sequence of poses designed to support post-run recovery and healing. You'll finish this class feeling limber and open!
Choose Your Run Level
We're pleased to offer two version of the Moab Mindful Running Retreat, a Level I for low-mileage runners or those who run-walk, or a Level II retreat for those who are comfortable running 8 miles or more. Some of the runs for both retreat types are on the same trail (but at different paces), while some of the runs are on entirely different trails. Either way, however, you'll get all the views and scenery you could possibly hope to see during your time in Moab! If you're unsure which level to choose, reach out to one of our retreat travel specialists who will be happy to help you pick the one best suited to your fitness level.

"It is difficult to convey the value of RWR in a review. As a runner it was so much more than I expected and hoped for in terms of new knowledge, miles run and spectacular scenery. The gratitude I have for the other amazing women, the incredible retreat leader, and the knowledgeable and fun local guide, is immeasurable. The only decision you need to make in regards to Run Wild Retreats is which amazing location you want to visit. They will take care of the rest- from help with travel to renewal of your spirit."

"If I could give more than 5 stars I would! This trip and experience was magnificent!! Every detail was well thought out and well explained. The leaders and trail guides were phenomenal, kind women who created an environment of support and encouragement and joy. Moab is ridiculously gorgeous. It was a luxurious and legit retreat - all I ever had to worry about was getting myself where I needed to be on time. Everything else was taken care of."

"As a full time mom and COO of our lives, I needed a break, just like many who work outside of the home. I met women with diverse backgrounds and running experiences, and it was wonderful to learn from them. I was able to zone in instead of zone out. If you’re wondering if you ‘should’ take the plunge and go on one of these retreats, don’t question it, just do it. You won’t regret it."
