3-Day Wellness Escape: Yoga & Meditation on Lake Michigan's Shores

The retreat works best for anyone carrying stress who needs a proper break. You don't need any experience with yoga or meditation—the practice is guided, gentle, and adapted to your level. Expect to leave with specific techniques for managing stress, like yoga nidra (a guided deep relaxation), pranayama breathing exercises, and practical meditations drawn from classical yoga. The program is structured but not rigid; afternoons give you room to hike the Shrine Trail, a walking meditation path with shrines representing different spiritual traditions, each with benches for sitting quietly. You can also walk on the sandy Lake Michigan beach, get a private consultation with Ema, or just nap.
