Colorado Wellness Retreat with Reshape Midlife | Palmer Lake, CO
How many times do we tell ourselves that we need to finally get some rest over the weekend only to use all that free time for projects around the house we have been meaning to get to? Or we’ve maybe started out with one exercise session for ourselves and then life and taking care of others makes the next one near impossible? Sometimes it’s better to just get away from it all and take care of yourself. That is precisely why Reshape Midife out of Colorado Springs set up a wellness retreat over one weekend in July.
I met them at their amazing retreat house outside of Larkspur Colorado. They were just finishing up breakfast (but nobody likes photos of people eating ;0) So we did a group retreat photo off the deck before taking off to the hiking trailhead.
I was able to not only take the wellness retreat photos, but in order to do so, I got to go on a little hike too! We went along a small creek in Palmer Lake Colorado that had a beautiful amount of shade to make it quite pleasant.
After the ladies dropped off their yoga mats in the woods, we got started on the hike up. Being from Colorado, I was super impressed by how the ladies who had come from lower elevations did!
On this particular hike, there are actually two reservoirs along the path. On account of time (the ladies had to get back for afternoon massages!! Talk about an amazing retreat schedule!), we turned around at the first reservoir. We took a group photo of the retreat hikers as well as some fun individual images before heading back down the hill.
For me, this wellness retreat morning was right up my alley. It was a perfect mix of hiking and photography. Although I will say that when they were doing yoga in the woods, it looked so relaxing so I was torn between taking retreat photos in the woods or getting to stretch with them!!
I’m always up for a great morning hike, especially when I get to take my camera along! I can’t wait for the next wellness retreat in Colorado or wherever my photography takes me!!
