Method and Itinerary

Inirly Colorado is a dedicated “sit, stay, and practice” retreat—where the depth and consistency of practice take precedence. The core philosophy is simple: it is a sustained, immersive practice that drives the transformative effects of retreat. Without that commitment, a retreat risks becoming little more than a wellness getaway.

The Inirly curriculum is a unique synthesis of Western psychological theory, evidence-based athletic training methods, traditional yogic disciplines, and a guiding belief that transformation favors those who are bold, committed, and willing to explore the edges of comfort and familiarity.

Inirly Colorado Winter Retreat Foundations

Immersion in novel culture

Technical meditation training

  • For those familiar with winter, there’s a mysterious beauty to the season. It’s harsh and demanding but, at the time, the world seems enchanted when it’s covered in white snow, ice, and cold wind. It’s a beautiful time of the year that signals wonder and self-reflection. For these reasons, it’s an ideal time to practice.

  • Overstimulation is a growing concern in modern life and maintaining boundaries between our personal lives and an increasingly interconnected world is not as easy as it sounds. Contact with nature is a scientifically recognized solution to many of the ailments of modern life. The Drala Mountain Center rests on 100’s of acres of land. The sanctuary provides the nature and the distance necessary to feel disconnected from the noise of modern life and connected to the alternative peace beyond it.

  • A retreat’s success depends on the quality of its practice schedule. Getting away isn’t enough to access the legendary clarity and vitality of the yogi. A student must practice with passion and consistency. Each day we’ll spend roughly 9-10 hours discussing, meditating, breathing, and practicing postures. It’s a lot but worth it. It turns out that 3 days is just enough time to reach the personal peak of practice.

  • All meditation sessions are designed to increase both cognitive control and a capacity to enter flow states (aka presence).

  • The information we have supports our perspectives and reactions to life. Philosophy, a framework of information, is a form of intelligence that when learned, enhances our ability to rationalize circumstances and move forward as gracefully as possible.

  • The final piece to the yoga puzzle is how these philosophical points, personal insights, and new experiences fit into our everyday lives. Making new knowledge fit into old paradigms is a critical piece of the “sitting” process.

Physical Conditioning

Goal-Focused Curriculum

  • The particular yoga sequence of this retreat is an endurance and strength-based practice that will encourage flexibility, vitality, and coordination of the body.

  • Breathwork is a cornerstone of the process. The breathwork taught is a high-intensity physical practice that invigorates the blood, shocks the mind and body, and trains us to remain calm and present.

  • MEEs are modern ways of initiating ourselves into deeper zones of focus, commitment, and technique. The three main MEEs during Inirly Colorado will be a vigorous posture challenge, an extended fire-gazing and chanting session, and a “marathon” sit. The marathon sit is where the entire weekend comes together for the majority of attendees.
