Yoga Camp 2025
June 19 - 22, 2025, located in the Black Hills, SD.
Spend four days, three nights at a historic camping retreat
Nourishing meals are once again lovingly prepared with whole foods that heal from the inside out. Learn for yourself why everyone feels fantastic after just a few days of yoga camp cooking! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided with all ticket purchases.
Lodging is offered in the quaint rustic cabins on camp grounds. With a view of the lake, you will cozy up in your cabin with bunkmates ready to tell spooky stories late into the night, or if you are in an early riser cabin, tucked in early! Each cabin has a little potbelly stove for heat in case of cooler evening weather. Option to bring a tent for yourself (or you and a few buddies). Please indicate this in your registration form if desired.
Kayaks and canoes are INCLUDED in the retreat (yahoo!). Simply walk down to the lake and hop in to your boat of choice.

Chef Jarred Bren
Owner of Tandoor Boccado, a food truck serving wood-fired tandoor and wok made delicacies. Here are some reviews for the food truck that will be coming to the camp site:
“Absolutely delicious! The Swordfish Gnocchi (Italy) wasn't seared rare but it was still very good. The Javanese Shrimp Fried Rice (Malaysia) had the perfect spice and the shrimp were very big! Want to try everything on the menu!”
“I cant even begin to describe the explosion of flavor! This is some of the best food I have had in Rapid City ever, and it came from a food truck. The Shrimp Korean Seoul Food (Korea) was bursting with flavor and the homemade kimchi was sour and crunchy and is a perfect pair to the sauce on the side, not to mention the gigantic shrimp. The Lemon-Chili Brussels Sprouts (Mediterranean) were next level good. I could live off them! The toasted walnuts add the perfect amount of crunch and is just beyond words. And last the Chocolate Berries and Creme is so rich and fresh with a dense poundcake with so much chocolate flavor. It was delectable.”
