About Vista Verde
Vista Verde Retreat sits on 40 acres of land on the west edge of the Taos Gorge surrounded by juniper and piñon trees. There is a beautiful sprung wood dance floor for our movement classes and lots of space to be outdoors, with two hiking trails looping through the natural surroundings, a ceremonial sand circle, an outdoor fire pit and labyrinth. With no television or cell service you can’t help but disconnect and plug into natural time (though, if absolutely necessary a landline and WiFi are available). Nearby, there are a variety of unique day trips and activities: from Taos gallery touring and the Taos Pueblo to viewing the Rio Grande Gorge or the Earthship Biotecture. A short 25 minute drive takes you to the famous Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs where you can soak in the healing mineral waters of northern New Mexico. Hiking and walking trails abound.
Movement Studio Rules
The Movement Studio must be closed and locked when not in us. The Movement Studio floor must remain clean and dry at all times. No food, beverages, or street shoes in Studio. Guests will ensure the 9:00 p.m. – 8:00 a.m. quiet hours are observed. There are two bathrooms in the Movement Studio, one with a shower.
