We are offering this retreat on 2 separate dates this year!

For-rest Retreat is located in Salmo, BC. Thirty minutes South of Nelson.

We are so excited to announce new 2026 dates for the Women’s Mountain Biking & Yoga retreat at For-rest Retreat!

Enjoy a full weekend of riding and honing your mountain bike skills and maintenance skills, yoga classes, meditation, sound healing, local and organic meals, sauna time and much more!

Friday:  starting at 4pm

The weekend kicks off with a hands-on bike maintenance workshop, followed by a delicious evening of wood-fired pizza, fresh salads, and refreshing kombucha. Connect with your fellow sister shredders in a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. As the sun sets, gather around the fire for some cozy social time (weather and fire bans permitting). Before drifting off to sleep, unwind with a soothing Yoga Nidra and sound bath session.

Saturday: 8:00 am – evening

Coffee and tea will be available by 7 a.m. to start your day. We’ll begin the morning with an energizing yoga flow and guided meditation in the yurt, followed by some free time to prepare for the ride and pack your provided lunch and snacks. At 10:30 a.m., we’ll meet up and head to local trails for a skills session led by professional coaches. After three hours of riding and progression, we’ll return to For-rest Retreat to freshen up, then unwind with a gentle afternoon yoga and stretch session. The evening will wrap up with a delicious taco bar dinner, relaxed social time around the fire, and the sauna will be lit for anyone who’d like to soak in some warmth and restoration.

Sunday, 8:00 am – evening

We’ll gather at 7:30 a.m. for a gentle morning yoga session to ease into the day. Afterward, we’ll gear up for our second skills clinic on another set of nearby trails. Following the session, we’ll return to For-rest Retreat for lunch and the option to either relax and recharge or head out for a casual group ride. The evening will flow at a relaxed pace, with a closing circle to reflect on the weekend, the sauna lit for those who wish to unwind, and a beautiful charcuterie & soup spread to enjoy throughout the night.

Monday: Depart by 11:00 am

Wake up and depart on your own time before 11:00 am! We will provide coffee and tea starting at 7am.

Chevayo Roddick

Retreat Facilitator, Certified Yoga Instructor

Blessed to have a home, nestled in the beautiful mountains of British Columbia with my daughter, I find joy in hiking, beekeeping, leading local community yoga classes, facilitating retreats, being in nature and exploring in the awe-inspiring mountains and world travels.

As a dedicated student of my practice I have completed 200 Hatha RYT and 200 Vinyasa RYT with continuing certifications in Anusara Yoga, Trauma Informed Somatic Healing, Sound Healing, Breath Work and Wilderness First Aid.

I’m a retreat facilitator and co-owner of Exhale Adventures a business that combines all of my passions for sharing the healing benefits of wellness and nature with others. I love to assist students in shedding self-imposed limitations and foster a profound connection with their breath, body, inner selves, earth, the web of life and the possibility of living from a more grounded, vibrant and joyous existence.

Johanna

Retreat Facilitator, Certified Natural Chef, Mountain Bike & Trail Enthusiast

Johanna developed a love of nature and trails while growing up in the Canadian Rockies, where she spent many years as a lodge chef and hiking guide, before moving to Colorado and eventually Salmo. Her lifelong dream has been to develop a property with trails and a gathering space where people can come to relax, be in nature and have space for personal growth. Johanna became a certified natural chef at Bauman College in Boulder, Colorado and is excited to prepare some delicious and nutritious food for the retreat.

When she is not busy managing For-rest Retreat with her husband Jon or running retreats with Chevayo, she can often be found working on building new trails on the property (or out enjoying the trails with her dogs Sunny & Buddy)
