Bodacious Yoga

Angie Smith designs & leads our Bodacious Yoga sessions for all levels - from experienced to no experience at all. The beautiful surroundings of the Bugaboo mountains add to the ambiance of our yoga practice. Feel the vibe of the outdoors in every class from Sunrise Yoga to our longer afternoon sessions. On our last full day at the lodge, relax as Angie guides you through an invigorating yoga class, and a session of Pranayama (breathing exercises) and a personalized meditation to a place of inner peace and bliss.

My CMH Story

"Bodacious in the Bugaboos surpassed my expectations...the comfort of the lodge, the nurturing food, the expertise of the guides and all the staff, the small details every step of the way - from wake-up yoga, to high-fives on a mountain top, to wind-down wine as we all shared our 'wow' experiences of the day. And there were many! With the support of Ellen and all the guides/ naturalists, I not only embraced the magic of the mountains, I challenged myself to go beyond my limits...and did it! Every woman should get the chance to connect with her Bodacious self in the inspiring Bugaboos."

Ellen Slaughter and Angie Smith, hosts of CMH Bodacious in the Bugaboos

Hello Bodacious Women!
Hosting “Bodacious in the Bugaboos” with Angie Smith is a huge highlight of my year! I treasure the time I spend in our wild, untouched soul soothing mountains with such fun-loving and inspiring women. Our CMH team – the fantastic guides, the lodge staff and our chopper pilot – embrace our spirit and pamper us from morning to night so we can do what a group of Bodacious women does best! We laugh, we hike, we cry, we drink, we dance, we learn, we do yoga, we breathe, we hug and we laugh some more. We share the gift of friendship on this amazing girlfriend getaway. When we start flying high in the chopper in the beauty of these mountains, something magical happens. The magic is you, the women on these trips.

Angie and I invite you to join us in "heli-heaven'. Check out these photos from last year, bring a friend, your mom, your sister, your daughter or come on your own. We'll be there to welcome you with open arms. Be Bodacious in 2012!
