Balanced Rock Foundation

Balanced Rock is Yosemite’s leading health and wellness nonprofit organization, offering transformational retreats, wellness programs, and guided experiences since 2000. Based in the heart of Yosemite National Park, their mission inspires healing, connection, and personal growth through yoga, hiking, creative expression, and immersive experiences in nature.

For more than 25 years, Balanced Rock has welcomed individuals, groups, and organizations into meaningful experiences that foster wellbeing, reflection, and a deeper connection to the natural world. Their annual calendar of retreats and programs invites participants from all walks of life to reconnect with themselves, their communities, and the landscapes that surround them.

Balanced Rock’s Guided Adventures offer customizable, privately booked experiences for visitors seeking a more intentional way to explore Yosemite. Led by expert local guides who call Yosemite home, options include guided hikes, walking tours, full-day excursions, outdoor yoga, and wellness experiences tailored to a range of interests and abilities.

Balanced Rock also specializes in custom retreats for groups, organizations, and businesses. Working one-on-one with their team, you’ll co-create a unique Yosemite experience designed around your goals—whether you’re planning a wellness retreat, team gathering, celebration, educational experience, or creative immersion. Every program is crafted with intention, expertise, authenticity, and a deep respect for the land—creating experiences that nourish both body and spirit.
