Walker Wellness Retreats

I really appreciated the attention to details, tips, and advice for the hikes. The encouragement and specific yoga stretches or poses to relieve sore areas was a welcome plus.

Shantel made this yoga and hiking retreat absolutely unforgettable. She is such a kind, thoughtful, and organized person, and she knew all the best spots in Utah, especially in Zion. Thanks to her planning, everything ran so smoothly, and we got to experience the most breathtaking views in both Zion and Bryce. The retreat house was beautiful, with amazing skies and sunrises, and having a wonderful chef like Kelee was the icing on the cake. And if you get the right people in your group (we were so lucky to have such amazing people), the experience becomes even more special. I can’t recommend a retreat with Shantel enough—she’s truly the heart of the experience!

I met lifelong friends, I had amazing, natural and healthy food made by Kelee who was fabulous, the home was beautiful and so, so comfortable. I had everything I needed. I have never worked so hard while being so pampered. Shantel was so incredible! She was so amazingly kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful, organized, comforting, accommodating and fun. She took such great care of all of us. How she took care of 9 of us with such apparent ease and individual care blows my mind. The combination of hiking and yoga was perfect AND all levels of both were available. I LOVED THIS TRIP!!

Amazing excursions, phenomenal cuisine, incredible journey because of our instructor's expertise and desire to make all we did joyous but most importantly facilitated group cohesion where we are all better for having met such great people.

getting to make friends who added inspiration, joy and laughter

The convenience of meals prepared, hiking yoga itineraries set and all transportation provided

Great trip. Hiking in Zion and Bryce couldn’t be more fun. Yoga at the retreat house was wonderful. The retreat house was in a nice location. Also the team was flexible in arranging schedule for the day.

As to arranging the trip. I booked a bit late, but team responded quickly to all emails and brought me up to speed. Recorded meeting link was sent to me and I found it useful. Leader provided her phone number early on so I could keep her updated on travel status.

The yoga to start and end the day set me up physically for hiking every day. The spiritual reset from the yoga, the hiking and the caring staff and fantastic food. This was my first retreat and first yoga class. Every thing was first class awesome.

I loved everything about this trip. Very organized. yoga was amazing it was perfectly planned and fitted to your body before and after hikes. Shantel really made yoga fun and didn’t make you feel like you couldn’t do something. Music choice was spot on as well!!! Amy and Brian were amazing hosts Amy’s cooking was out of this world. Amy Brian and Shantel made sure the retreat home was your home away from home. Super clean very cozy and roomy. Words cannot explain the experience I had. 10 out of 10. Oh yes hot tub was amazing !

I love the national parks and hiking

This is my first retreat… the whole experience was wonderful. The staff were amazing, the hikes are incredible with a panoramic views and some challenges, morning and evening yoga completed out days… and the people who came to this trip made is SPECIAL. Thank you

What an amazing trip! Where do I begin… the yoga was amazing and Jessa was one of the best teachers I’ve had in 30 yrs of practicing

Ambers food was exceptional and the meals beyond any restaurant you could go to

The hikes organized were so much fun and challenging …. Perfect! And scenery- beautiful

The best was the new friendships I have made that will last a lifetime and we are all coming back together to do another trip with Bryan, who is fabulous, and Walker Wellness!! Thank you so much!

Allí the yoga instructor and Brennan her husband made time together with the group so special. The yoga classes were Amazing, Amber served such delicious meals- I begged for her recipes! The house was perfect for getting together comfortably, and the house was gorgeous with terrific porch areas to see the view.

Everything

Very well organized. The yoga and food were excellent. Drew, Mandy, and maria were awesome. I had an amazing trip and would definitely recommend Walker Wellness. I would like to go to another one of their retreats.

This retreat was so well planned. Every detail was covered. The accommodations were exceptional, yoga was fantastic, hiking was great, and the food was phenomenal. We are definitely looking forward to our next trip with Walker Wellness.

The trip was well organized and itinerary was accurate, with flexibility for individual needs, e.g. different hike suggestions, yoga 100% tailored to how the group felt before each session.

Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, accessible, present, and always ready to help.

Food was delicious; home cooked meals with many options.

Everything Drew and the staff with walker wellness did was with intentionality and delight. From preparing an ambitious yet attainable itinerary to engaging in thoughtful and meaningful conversations, this retreat exceeded my expectations. The space, people, yoga practice and excursions were thoughtfully selected. The weather also worked in our favor!

Everyone was wonderful from the food to the yoga instruction and the hiking. They made me feel like a part of their family. I would recommend this retreat to anyone!

I don't even know where to begin...This retreat was amazing in so many ways! From the information pre-retreat to the drop off at the airport, the service and kindness and organization was unmatched. Every detail was taken care of so thoughtfully. Our yoga instructor, Cassie, was excellent - listening to us, gauging just what we all needed. She was always available for questions or just to talk. She read passages from books that inspired me, with which I took on my hikes. Then, there were the meals! Amber cooked from her heart and provided us with a delicious array of food tailored to all of our preferences. She even had healthy snacks for us when we arrived home form our hikes. There's nothing like someone cooking for you. It is such a treat! And, then, there was of course, Drew, who put it all together and organized us and our schedule with such grace and attentiveness. He was always there, supporting and caring for us and reminding us that this was our retreat. The hiking was absolutely incredible, with different experiences each day. And, the house where we stayed was so warm and comfortable. Thank you so much, Walker Wellness Retreats, for a very memorable, top-notch experience. I have new friends for life and came home a better version of myself. I'm so grateful, and will definitely explore your other retreats!

Drew was so organized, and such a pleasant energy to have around! The house was beautiful, and plenty spacious. I enjoyed coffee on the balcony watching the sunrise before heading downstairs for morning yoga. What a great way to start the day. Of course the hikes were incredible! Once is not enough i will have to do them again. The snacks and meals were delicious and as gluten free vegan it was exciting to have a menu that easily catered to both of those things! I came home from this trip feeling happy, healthy, and grateful.

The crew at Walker Wellness was so well organized and prepared, the communication and expectation setting was excellent. Food was healthy, delicious, and accommodating to all preferences. The house was amazing. The hikes and yoga were wonderful.

From start to finish, Drew had the whole group covered. He was organized with a go with the flow attitude and made us all feel welcome. The retreat cabin was very homey with a peaceful and stunning view. The food was delicious and healthy, all day every day. The chefs were very attentive to our needs and made accommodations for any food cravings and restrictions. The hikes and views were breathtaking with zero problems. The yoga flows twice a day were physically and spiritually healing. After returning home, my chiropractor had told me my hips had finally opened up after 6 months of therapy and immediately after this yoga retreat- my legs were finally the same length. All in all, this was the best vacation I've ever had and will definitely be going on another one!

Kristen Goss, our host was fabulous. The food was outstanding for all types of diet restrictions, and the accommodations beautiful

Yoga instructor (Kristen) can teach to all levels and all get something new. She is the real deal mind and body. Accomodations are 5 star and food made with care, health, fresh and taste. Zion and Bryce are so beautiful to hike or walk, whatever you like

I LOVED the instructors! Kristen, Emily, and Marie were absolutely amazing in all that they did. The yoga was fabulous, the hiking experiences were fabulous, the food was fabulous! And their attention to all our needs was fabulous. The house was very spacious, and it was great to be spread out enough and all have their own bathrooms in their rooms. And everything but the hiking was on-site. Very comfortable.

Kristin, Marie and Emily were amazing. The food was fantastic. The people I met where lovely.

The hiking was varied and flexible. The yoga instruction was a perfect compliment to the hiking! The food was outstanding with more options than you can imagine! The retreat house was beautiful and well located.

This was a great experience! We had Emily making the best food every and Kristin leading our hikes and yoga classes. They were fun to be around and made the trip so much better. They found out it was my bday and they had a cake with candles. It was just so individualized even with a big group. Would definitely do this again.

I loved everything about this retreat. It was so fulfilling and well thought out from the food to the schedule. Walker is definitely the way to go!

Everything was awesome!

I loved Zion National Park and the hikes. As well as the group of people who joined the retreat.

Brian and Amy were very accommodating and enjoyed every minute of the time I was there.

The entire experience was perfect and left a lasting imprint on my heart. Amy and Brian have done an amazing job planning out the details of this trip and creating a relaxing wellness experience! I really appreciated how they joined the group for meals, took time to get to know us, and worked to accommodate any changes (i.e. leaving earlier for more hike time) we requested. The food was phenomenal! Our chef Mattie was incredible and everything was delicious throughout the trip. Both yoga instructors did a great job of balancing restorative and Vinyasa yoga based on how we felt after a long day of hiking.

Amy and Brian Walker run a top notch retreat, their knowledge of the area and attention to detail was outstanding. One of the best retreat experiences I have ever had and I've been on many retreats. Definitely 5 stars.

Hiking was amazing, organization of the trip was great, cooks and the food outstanding

Friendly group nice location and amenities

This retreat had everything you could want. A wonderful home, excellent food, fantastic hosts, thrilling hikes and a seasoned yoga teacher. Overall a perfect wellness retreat!

Had absolutely the most amazing time with Amy & Brian and crew at Zion! The house was amazing to start with, love the spacious bedroom and my own bathroom, very new and clean! Love the morning yoga and workshops! Amy even squeezed in another morning yoga the day we left because we love it so much and she's so accommodating! Love the food, gosh I wish I could eat every meal over and over every day, so good! I'm a vegetarian, lots of options for me and everything was delicious! The hikes were amazing, Amy gave us great advice so I got to see everything I wanted to see! I love the people, Amy's whole crew and the people we travel with. I was so glad I booked this trip and was so sad to leave. Booking another trip with Amy for sure! Highly recommend!

The National Parks

Wonderful hosts, good facilities, good food, great hikes.

This retreat was wonderful. The house we stayed in was absolutely beautiful, warm, cozy, and comfortable. The hikes were incredible. The hosts did everything we asked of them with graciousness and kindness. And I was able to meet so many amazing people on the retreat. So grateful and pleased with this experience.

All guests were great to meet

Everything was great !

I loved absolutely everything about this retreat experience.

1. Family run: everyone who was working this retreat was friendly, professional and SO much fun!

2. Organized: every singly detail was planned, so literally no work was involved. From the airport pickup/drop off, shuttle rides to/from Mt Zion, shuttle tickets inside the park, all meals (and snacks for days!).

3. Yoga/Wellness: We had yoga 2x a day as well as wellness classes

4. The accommodations: the houses were beautiful, including a hot tub!

5. The People: I made friends for life.

I cannot recommend this trip more...I can't wait to go on more events planned by Amy Walker & crew! Thank you for everything...see you next time friends! :-)

This experience was perfect. My husband and I loved the yoga/ hiking combination. The food was a highlight. Never had to worry about food/ snacks and I wanted all the recipes. The location was very relaxing, great views and quiet. Everyone was very accommodating and helpful! We will definitely travel with Walker Wellness again. We love you Amy and Brian! Hope to join you two again soon.

The owners are amazing and kind, the food, the location could not have been better. Great yoga instructor and its zion and bryce how could you go wrong. :)

It was a fun get away with a good mix of yoga and hiking. The food was all delicious. It was all very organized!!

We wanted to have the quit and quality of food/lodging of a yoga retreat but skipping some of the practice, and we got it. The food in particular was excellent quality, good ingredients, organic and tasting great.

Amy was so personable and accommodating. She took care of everything so that guests could have a stress free experience. Yoga was good and the food was AMAZING! I will be booking with Walker Wellness again!

Nature and connecting with others has a way of ripping your heart wide open and reminding you how beautiful... just beautiful this planet is. Thanks to Amy and Bryan for making this trip so special!

I really liked the relaxed atmosphere and lack of pretension. Every day we had an excellent yoga class in the morning and plenty of exploration time in Zion. The evenings we spent as we wished or could attend a class led by Amy. The yoga and the classes were full of heart openers! Even when we had a blizzard, everything seemed perfect! The meals, the company and the sense of care and belonging all made it lovely. I would do it again and highly recommend.

Side note: I was a solo traveler and felt safe and welcome. There was one couple celebrating their anniversary and a few friends traveling together. Everyone was welcome.

The hikes, the people, Amy and Connie! So awesome

We loved Amy, the house for the retreat is just stunning, everything about this retreat was fabulous! We will definitely be planning another trip with Walker wellness retreats

Todo me parecio muy bueno. Una experiencia muy bonita, y Amy y su esposo muy especiales, excelentes anfitriones.

Amy and company were absolutely amazing, thoughtful, intentional, compassionate, organized, and just what we needed for a wellness weekend. Every step of the way was planned (but not too planned) allowing us to see BEAUTIFUL Utah and 2 national parks without worrying about the details (her crew coordinates and drives and plans every step) while leaving us space to do our own thing once in the parks. Zion was incredible, Bryce even more awesome. Amy's skillful schedule also left enough down time for solitude, reflection, disconnection, and connection with others. The yoga, happiness and wellness classes, and option for massage were magical. Shout out to Theresa for some of the best yoga around and knowing exactly what we needed and to Tammi for one of the best massages of my life. Thank you also to Sharon for keeping us fed and happy and for sharing her space. Amy and her team are experts and beautiful humans and I would highly recommend and would even repeat this exact same retreat in the future.

The Retreat was perfect in every way. Hospitality and accommodations were beyond our expectations. The host of this retreat, Amy was outstanding and could not have been anymore wonderful. We plan to go back for another visit in the near future.
