One of the things we hear most often from our guests is that they often forget Telluride stays open during the summer months! Of course, they are exaggerating somewhat, a town doesn’t close down for an entire season but it is true that we are often thought of as primarily a winter vacation destination spot, and festivals and events such as the Telluride Yoga Festival held every June helps develop seasonal recognition for our mountain town. Summer in Telluride is an exquisitely beautiful season, offering hiking, biking, and climbing adventures in addition to the Yoga Festival and coming home to Accommodations in Telluride’s condos in Telluride Colorado after every adventure will remind you that comfort and luxury are key to a successful summer getaway as well!

Four Days of Flexibility
For our yogis out there, you already know the benefits of the practice and may have already attended one or more of our Telluride Yoga Festivals, you may even be an OG yogi, attending every one of the 16+ festivals that have occurred over the years. But there is always something new to learn and even though this discussion might be geared towards the novice yogi, we hope you stick around! This festival has been an annual tradition for coming up on 17 years now and every year the organizers provide something new, something exciting, and all of the things that you have loved from previous years, building on their success in the best of ways. There isn’t enough time to discuss all of the 100+ classes, mediation sessions, hikes, and workshops that will take place during the four days of flexibility, but we will touch on some of our favorite parts, inviting you to start making your summer vacation plans now!
All the Different Ways to Enjoy the Holistic Discipline of Yoga
Yoga is not really considered a sport nor is it a simple exercise routine. We guess you could simply call it a lifestyle decision that can be enjoyed in so many ways, ways that are explored during the festival. Yoga classes on stand-up paddleboards, yoga classes held in the shadow of the mountains, aerial yoga, community yoga, even pool party yoga sessions will take place over the four days of bendiness. Music is important in life and in yoga and participants can expect concerts, a DJ hosting the pool party, and sound healing sessions that will surprise you at how well they work if you are new to the practice of yoga. Vendor Village will offer food, yoga equipment, and a variety of other merchandise that may not be related to yoga but will make you feel better simply because it is cute, comfy, or sweet.
Yes, There’s Still More
We told you that this festival was filled with excitement, and as we continue our tour of wonderful, we find ourselves discussing food and its importance to the discipline. The culinary creations part of the festival will give you a chance to connect with the chef and other yogis while enjoying meals that are healthy, delicious, and can be added to your own menus back home or be prepared in the fully equipped kitchens of our retreats. Because you are here to learn, there are talks with yoga masters, book signings with yoga authors offered, and because you are here to get healthy, hiking, mountain biking, or eBiking excursions are offered, giving you a chance to explore the beauty of our mountain town with groups of your new best friends. and when each day ends you will be ready to relax with Accommodations in Telluride.
Namaste and Welcome
The best yoga sessions may leave you feeling drained and ready for a nap or energized and ready to have more fun, and our Telluride Yoga Festival vacation rentals will be there to give you whatever it is you need. Take a nap on the soft as butter leather sectional in the living room, perhaps with the doors to the deck or balcony open letting in summer breezes and the serene sounds of nature combined with distant laughter and conversations being held by neighbors that aren’t too close to your own space. Pour yourself a glass of green juice and enjoy it poolside in some of our properties or soak your tired muscles in hot tubs bubbling away in most all of our seasonal sanctuaries. It doesn’t get too hot in the mountains in the summer and at night it even gets quite nippy, so a soak is always a good idea. Still feeling like you could move mountains? Many of our escapes offer fully equipped fitness rooms and also provide mats and other yoga materials that will allow you to continue your yoga adventures after the official festival has concluded for the day!
Remember the Recipes You Learned at the Culinary Creations Class?
Our gourmet kitchens bring the joy back to your cooking experiences and the Telluride Farmers Market, located at South Oak Street and open on Fridays in the summer months from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM, can help you add fresh and locally sourced ingredients to your new favorite recipes. Wine refrigerators aren’t just for wine, you can stock them with water, juices, or whatever cold beverage you love to sip on, but we also hope you leave room for a bottle or two of your favorite white. The yoga lifestyle is about healthy living, and wine, in moderation, can be included in your daily diet; plus, raising a toast to another fantastic sunset loses some of its spark when it’s a glass of green juice in your hand instead of a shimmering glass of chardonnay! Once you have finished preparing the meal, you will have choices as to where you can consume it, either in the dining room located just steps away or out on the deck you just toasted the sunset from. Offering breathtaking views and a patio dining set, it is the perfect place to practice gratefulness and love of nature and family.
At One with Nature
The beauty of Telluride can be seen from all angles while inside our spacious rooms, perfectly framed by windows that stretch from floor to ceiling, but even as you are relaxing on the sofa, napping in our premium beds, or maybe playing pool with your favorite traveling partner in the game rooms that can be found in many of our properties, the outside will call to you, inviting you to get closer to the trees, the mountains, and breathe in all that fresh mountain air. Firepits surrounded by chairs will be most popular after the sun sets and the temperatures lower and as you sit, roast marshmallows for s’mores, and feel the tranquility of nature burrowing its way in your soul, your only thoughts may be, “How can I ever leave?” Telluride holds a special place in our hearts, it is our hometown after all, but travelers are often surprised by just how much they love the town as well.
