Desert Reset: Yoga and Adventure Glamping Week in Joshua Tree

This retreat is run by Kootenay Yoga School, a team known for their yoga teacher trainings but here offering a more relaxed, adventure-focused week. Each day starts with an optional yoga and breathwork session as the sun rises, then moves into whatever the desert has planned — a hike to a quirky art installation, a full day inside Joshua Tree National Park, or a beginner-friendly rock climbing session among the famous boulders. Evenings mean paint nights, campfires, and soaking under a sky thick with stars.

The property sits on five acres just outside the town of Joshua Tree, a place the page describes as 'wonderfully weird' and artsy. You'll stay in funky glampers scattered around the land, sharing it with bunnies, roadrunners, and the occasional distant coyote. There's a sauna, a cold plunge, a hot tub, and an outdoor shower or tub where you can bathe beneath the open sky.

Food is hearty, vegetarian, and served as a brunch and dinner at the property, with packed lunches on adventure days. The whole week is intentionally alcohol- and substance-free, centered instead on movement, good food, and actually experiencing the desert. The hosts emphasize that every activity is optional and beginner-friendly — you're equally welcome to skip the climb and read in a hammock all afternoon.
