TODAY is the last day for our early bird discount!

Our 7th annual back-to-back Adventure Awaits retreats in mid-August were a sweet, sweet reward after a frightening stint in July due to wildfires across the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. 

There is something that happens when a group of women steps away from the noise of everyday life and into the Boundary Waters. A blog reflection written by wilderness canoe guide, Shannon McGrath.

This is a story about my friend Nora. A big part of our friendship has been our annual trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. We’ve come to understand something kind of major over the last decade of trips.

Forget “hot girl summer”.  We are doing Monarch Girl Summer. 

Hot girl walks?  Nah, it’s a milkweed mosey. 

Admittedly, we love convincing you that winter in Minnesota is awesome. Our February Rest Yoga Retreat opens for registration, with an early bird discount, August 1st!

Fall is but a moment in time. It deserves to be fully appreciated and immersed in.

To be honest, I felt they were closing the BWCA out of an abundance of caution. I thought the BWCA would be open by the weekend. Bryana expected she would finish out the week at camp. 

Summer is here, but a solid winter fun plan is needed! January retreat early bird registration discount ends July 12th. Our February retreat early bird registration discount opens August 1st!

The span of my half marathon training, race day, and recovery took some very unexpected and unique turns this year.  Some of those surprises were good ones, and some were downright awful.

Our Startlement retreat at the end of May actually did turn out to be the definition of the mysterious word: the state of being strongly impressed by something unexpected.

We are THRILLED to announce our partnership with University of Minnesota, Duluth to host two free yoga classes on Grandma’s Marathon weekend! Open to runners and the community.

Whether you are running, cheering, or you simply live in the area and want to join the energy of a large group of humans practicing yoga on the UMD football field - please join us!

You know I love a good plan. We are offering an early bird registration discount this year, and that window is right around the corner!

Poetry, wildfires, peace, and nature. Holding two buckets (at least) at once to find balance. Read more about our retreat recap from our Lake Life Yoga Retreat at Sugar Lake Lodge.

I don’t know about you, but on a daily basis, I’m absolutely bombarded by external stimuli.  I have to work fairly hard to keep all that “noise” at bay. Frankly my own thoughts can sometimes be unhelpful noise if I’m not bringing mindful awareness to it.  

A Minnesota summer typically rushes in fast and furious. We’ve waited endless months for the open lakes, return of loons, campfires with starry backdrops, and seemingly endless supply of vitamin d.

Snakes, tornadoes, and snow… oh my! Our family retreat brought nearly every type of weather variation within the bounds of a weekend. Did that stop our fun?
