Autumn Delight: Yoga + Nature
-
Yoga
“As long as you’re breathing, you are practicing yoga.” This is one of our absolute favorite reminders.
Yoga does not need to be complicated, intimidating, or look a certain way. Everyone is unique -from beginner to seasoned. We celebrate that at Boreal Bliss!
We also want you to feel comfortable and welcomed; from what you wear, to how you move, to who you are. WELCOME!
-
Nature
Slow down and bring focus to your connection with nature in Autumn.
You don't have to be "outdoorsy" to come for the day and discover this magic that nature has to offer. Tip: how to be outdoorsy? Step 1: be a person. Step 2: head outside!
Cultivating a connection to nature can grow a connection within yourself!

We hope that you can appreciate the amount of time, love, and energy we wholeheartedly put into each retreat. Not just during the event, but the many months leading up to it.
Please note: Our winter venue does not issue refunds due to weather. As such, we are unlikely to cancel the retreat except in a very extreme scenario. In most situations, we hope our guests plan ahead to accommodate Minnesota weather conditions in winter to safely travel to and from the retreat- which may occasionally mean allowing extra travel time.
In the event of widespread extreme weather, including highway closures, the retreat will be rescheduled. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled weekend, you may be able to receive a partial refund or transfer credit to a future retreat. If the retreat is not cancelled/rescheduled, we will be unable to issue refunds on an individual basis due to the weather.
