3. Ouray Hot Springs
Just an hour’s scenic drive from Telluride, the charming town of Ouray is home to one of Colorado’s most relaxing natural treasures, the Ouray Hot Springs. Surrounded by towering peaks, the geothermal pools here offer the perfect way to soothe tired muscles and melt away stress. The mineral-rich waters are naturally heated and renowned for their therapeutic benefits, making it well worth the short drive for a full-body reset in a truly spectacular setting.
Yoga and Mindfulness in the Mountains
1. Telluride Yoga Center
For more than 20 years, the Telluride Yoga Center has served as a hub for local yogis and visiting practitioners. Located downtown, the studio offers a range of classes including vinyasa, restorative, and Iyengar yoga. With experienced instructors and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s a great place to unwind, stretch, and reconnect with yourself.
2. Mountain Village Yoga at the Peaks
The Peaks Resort also hosts yoga sessions for all levels, often with spectacular mountain views. Whether it’s sunrise yoga on an outdoor deck or a candlelit class inside, these experiences merge movement with mountain majesty.
3. Outdoor Yoga Experiences
In warmer months, you’ll often find pop-up yoga sessions in Town Park or along the San Miguel River Trail. Practicing in nature, surrounded by rustling aspens and distant peaks, adds an unforgettable layer to your wellness journey.
Fresh Air, Fitness, and Grounding Activities
1. Hiking and Forest Bathing
Sometimes the most rejuvenating activity is as simple as walking through the woods. Telluride’s many trails offer the opportunity to engage in “forest bathing,” a meditative experience that helps calm the nervous system and reduce stress. Try the Jud Wiebe Trail, Bear Creek Preserve, or the Valley Floor for gentle, soul-soothing walks.
2. Scenic Biking and River Path Strolls
Telluride’s paved River Trail is ideal for a leisurely bike ride or mindful walk. Pedal beside the rushing San Miguel River, watch for wildflowers, and take time to pause and breathe in the high alpine air.
3. Local Fitness Studios
For those who want to keep up with strength training or cardio while on vacation, Telluride offers several boutique fitness studios and personal training options. Staying active in the mountains can be a powerful way to energize both body and mind.
Nourish Your Body with Healthy Eats
Wellness isn’t just about what you do, but also about what you eat. Telluride’s food scene offers several health-focused cafés and juice bars to support your reset.
- The Butcher & Baker Café: Handmade bread and pastries, fresh salads and cheese plates, local brews, and more.
- Counter Culture Kitchen & Catering: Feel-good meals made using local, seasonally available ingredients.
