Spring Into Summer: A Yosemite Retreat at Firefall Ranch
Join Patricia Pinto and Kat Colla for a four-night retreat immersed in the awe and wonder of Yosemite National Park — one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the world.
This experience is designed as a return to nature and to yourself. We’ll stay at Firefall Ranch Resort which features beautifully appointed cabins, a heated pool, and access to a nearby spa, just a stone’s throw from the serene majesty of Yosemite’s valleys and peaks.
The Setting
Early May is one of the most magical times to experience Yosemite. The snow has melted, waterfalls are at their most powerful, and the landscape bursts with fresh greenery and wildflowers. Crisp mornings, golden afternoons, and star-filled nights make this a deeply rejuvenating time to explore and connect.
The Experience
You’ll have the opportunity to balance guided group experiences with restorative time for yourself. Each day will include a blend of yoga, Pilates, and therapeutic movement, as well as opportunities to explore Yosemite’s trails, soak in the stillness, or simply rest by the pool. Evenings will bring restorative sound baths, meditation, and shared meals to nourish the body and mind.
Led by long-time collaborators Patricia and Kat, this retreat marks their first offering together in nearly a decade — a reunion that promises depth, playfulness, and heartfelt connection.
Why Yosemite
Yosemite is a place where the natural world feels almost otherworldly — with its granite cliffs, towering sequoias, and cascading waterfalls, it has long been a refuge for those seeking inspiration, stillness, and renewal. From the gentle sound of rushing rivers to the expansive views from every trail, this is a place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember what matters most.
