Majestic Valley Lodge a graceful convergence of comfort and rustic charm. Nestled between mountains we were able to witness the alpine glow as the sun almost set with daily visits from a moose family. We experienced the warmest hospitality from all of the staff and every meal was a treat. I've never felt more welcome in a space! The care that was put into our lodging experience at Majestic Valley provided an excellent platform to truly make the most of our yoga teacher training program. I am so grateful to have been a part of the Alaska Teacher Training with Kali and I could not recommend it more highly. - Lena, Cirque Roots


At Majestic Valley Wildnerness Lodge, the force of nature augments the yoga training with its power and purity. The lodge is located to host a stunning view of mountains, glaciers, grass fields, pine forests, and wildflowers. Tall glass windows through which to see the environment, polished hardwood floors, a perfect balance of modern amenities and rustic charm, with enough space to have privacy when it is needed. The staff is friendly, professional, and efficient, I felt as though I made new friends in my time there. - Kevin
