Same space but 2025 is not a handstand retreat. It’s more chill, but probably even more fun, and the food will be even better with chef Austin – read about him below.

Ranch bookings
You can’t come here alone, but you can come with us, and we’ll make sure you have everything you need.
Real luxury is intimacy - one group on 3000 acres, no interlopers. We have the land to ourselves, shared only with the gracious stewards of Grizzly Creek and animals who make their home in the valley.
The ranch is the perfect integration of organic materials and luxury upgrades. Each room is special. Wildlife is abundant. Horses graze in pastures just beside the great hall. Booking details are below and space is limited.

Benjamin Sears
Benjamin is an international teacher cited as a “master” by Yoga Journal in 2017. In 2007, he opened LUXYOGA, a legendary retreat center in the South of France, and has spent the last two years developing Bozeman House, a luxury 20-acre wellness destination 20-minutes from Bozeman, MT.
Benjamin leads teacher trainings, workshops, and retreats worldwide, and online. He began practicing Yoga in 2001 to address a serious spinal injury and multiple knee surgeries, and stuck around because practice helped him to process grief and live with zest and purpose. Benjamin’s work has evolved to support individuals, families, and corporations through the Soul Core Realignment process. He teaches to empower students to make their own realizations through an ever-growing integration of Yoga, modern mobility science, breath-work, and meditation, and is renowned for connecting the dots between diverse modalities with clarity and humor.
Benjamin holds a B.A. from UCLA and certifications in Katonah, Bikram, Forrest, Dharma Mittra Yoga, Functional Range Conditioning, and studies within the Ido Portal Method, Ashtanga Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation, Wim Hoff Breathwork, The Oxygen Advantage, Marma Ayurveda, and has completed a multi-year mentorship in Soul Core Realignment. He believes in high standards, integrity, and the power of love and forgiveness. He will laugh at his own jokes, and prefers to live in the woods and visit the city for omakase sushi. -

This is Ben talking because Austin is too busy getting the fire just right. I wanted to work with Austin because it was time to get back to the roots of when I kicked this thing off in France – not just good food, but food you’ll never forget, food that will make a little sad to go home wondering how you’ll ever eat again.
See, food on a retreat should be a life-changing experience, like psychedelics on a retreat, even though we won’t be cooking with this time.
So enter chef Austin. He’s particular. He’s got a legendary barbecue spot in Bozeman that only opens 3 days per week. The wood is from Texas. The meat is from Montana. The food is straight from the heart, and whether he’s smoking classic brisket all night long or making a delicate 10-course tasting menu, it’s always about the best you’ve ever had.
I love Austin’s food because he cuts no corners and accepts no shortcuts. I love Austin because he makes the best barbecue in Montana but he also served me the best scallop ceviche I’ve ever had while whipping up a vegetarian dish for my girlfriend that I had to use force to protect from the hungry hands of my buddies.Austin just gets it. He integrates worldly flavors with Montana ingredients and you’re left thinking that you want the recipe but then quickly realizing no recipe would make it taste like Austin does.
Let’s eat!
one of the most sought-after semi-secret locations in the world, paradise valley borders yellowstone park, yet hides from the crowds. you’ll share the sky with ranches, outdoorsmen, celebrities in hiding, and the wildlife our ranch honors with regenerative farming.

Pack for warm days and crisp nights, bring your yoga clothes, bathing suit, shoes for light hiking, and for the float day, sun hat, something cozy, and perhaps a ranch chic sparkle for the evening.
