At The Feathered Pipe Ranch you'll find the Best Yoga Retreats in the United States.


We invite you to join us for an unforgettable experience: a week at the Feathered Pipe Ranch. Located in the heart of the Montana Rockies, the ranch is one of the country's premier retreat centers. Surrounded by miles of forested mountains, the ranch is blessed with a sparkling lake, pristine water, clean air, abundant wildlife and healing plants that abound in this mountain paradise.

Equal to the beauty that surrounds us is the spirit of the Feathered Pipe Ranch. You'll feel cared for and nurtured in every way, so that you are free to immerse yourself in a retreat, play and explore, change and grow and, most of all, relax. A unique feature of the Feathered Pipe is that we offer only one program at a time so that our guests can benefit fully without distractions.

For over 29 years we have been offering yoga and meditation retreats and programs which help us to know our wholeness and remember our interconnectedness with all of life. Our surroundings complement this ideal beautifully. Natural log and stone buildings offer a variety of lodging options, with tipis, tents and yurts also available. If the spirit of the ranch is captured anywhere, it is the kitchen. Gourmet natural food is our specialty, we use whole, organic ingredients prepared with a commitment to health and well-being. Our staff is dedicated to making you feel comfortable and at home.

We look forward to your arrival!
