Most women are too busy to go on a yearlong journey of self- discovery as Elizabeth Gilbert wrote about in her now famous book Eat, Pray, Love.  And yet a well-orchestrated yoga retreat is a vacation-length sample of self-discovery; giving women the opportunity to renew their mind and body experience.  Madeline Island, with its pristine landscape and the magnificent Lake Superior is the perfect complimentary backdrop for your yoga retreat.

Although both yoga and meditation will be a part of the curriculum, you don’t need to have experience with either to participate. There will be options for both the beginner and those who are more experienced.  Experienced  teachers and guides will gently lead you throughout your stay.

We purposefully do not give you an agenda for the retreat but look forward  to answering any questions about planning and packing  to help you prepare your trip.  Upon receipt of deposit, you will receive a packing list.  We will update you via email as to “what to prepare for” a week prior to your arrival so we can take weather into account.  You will participate in several yoga classes and will want to consider the kind of retreat you choose for other packing needs.  You can check in to your room the Sunday evening of arrival after 3pm.  Depending upon your choice of a 3 or 4 night stay you will end your retreat at 12:00 the morning of check-out.

You can register for your retreat with a secure deposit of $500 through paypal(located on the type of retreat you choose page).  If you prefer you can also register through mail.  Contact amy@cleanspirityoga.com for details.
