We've been using the larger Bodie room for our retreats since Covid. This room is not the normal Yoga room but offers tons of space for social distancing and privacy.

All props are available.
SPA
The spa is a beautiful relaxing oasis. There's a chemical free hot tub, sauna, and cold rainwater shower. There are massages and private soaks available at an extra cost. Herbal Tea and water available.
​
Occasionally, it can get a bit social from hikers returning from the park to soak in the tub and chat about the days adventures.
JUNE BUG CAFE
The June Bug Cafe offers fresh, creative meals and is know as a favorite amongst locals and guests. A changing menu is available, offering meat, seafood, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. All meals are chef prepared using local and organic ingredients as much as possible. They even have a garden on the property. They bake their own pies and cakes aswell.
ACCOMMODATION
Cabins are perched along the hillside surrounded by nature. Each cabin room is decorated with a unique theme and decorated with vintage furnishings. Accommodations range from small and large cabin rooms, tent cabins, and dorms.
SURROUNDING
The Yosemite Bug is on a hillside with surrounding trails through the natural landscape. In Spring, enjoy the beautiful greenery and wildflowers on the path to the seasonal swimming hole and waterfall a short hike from your cabin. Soak in the silence and peace of the forest.
Visiting Yosemite
Yosemite Valley is only 24 miles away.
Yosemite National Park is 26 miles away which takes about an hour to drive. Park entrance fees are $33 per car for 3 consecutive days. Park Reservations may be required due to limited park entrance.

THE YOSEMITE BUG
The Yosemite Bug, Rustic Mountain Resort, Midpines, California.
​
The Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort is like nothing you've ever seen. Nestled on a hillside, the Bug has cabins, tent cabins, and hostel dorms scattered around the property, so be prepared to do a bit of walking. Each cabin has a uniquely themed decor ranging from western to retro. You never know what you're going to get. The Bug is open to the public and other groups. So expect other people to be around and a lively atmosphere. There are trails and many places around the property for peace and contemplation including the creek, swimming hole and waterfall that is flowing in Spring and Summer. Think, adult summer yoga camp with amazing food, awesome spa amenities, and friendly staff.

TESTIMONIALS
"Anna is such a wonderful & inspiring teacher & person. Her energy is so peaceful & inviting. I loved the morning & evening yoga sessions, which included guided meditation & in the evenings yoga Nidra. The sound healing session led by Paul was like nothing I’ve ever experienced & extremely powerful. I felt cleansed & healed afterwards. Truly amazing! Our group connected so easily & it was so nice getting to know new people. The hiking & scenic views at Yosemite Bug are great. The Cafe has delicious food & the staff are so friendly. The spa tub & sauna were extremely relaxing after yoga & hiking. We went to Yosemite National Park one day & its spectacular! I’m looking forward to returning in the springtime."

Anna creates a warm, inviting retreat for you to not only get what you want, but what you need. I found the opportunity to relax and rediscover myself, while others had a safe place to work through their concerns or indulge in exercise and exploration. The facilities are relaxed and enjoyable and the food and spa were fantastic

Janet, September '17
Anna is warm, welcoming, approachable and fun. She set a friendly and easy-going tone for our group and her positive reflections were welcomed. The combination of asana, restorative and meditation was nicely balanced. The Yosemite Bug is so cute and perfect for a yoga retreat. The restaurant at the resort is outstanding: the food, the service, the setting.
