Home › Europe › Lake Superior North Woods Yoga Weekend: Twice-Daily Yoga, Paddle Boarding and Nordic Spa in Michigan's Keweenaw
Europe · 4 days · From USD 450
The weekend runs Thursday to Sunday. Each day starts and ends with yoga. In between there's a choice of guided outdoor activities. The resort lists guided hiking, biking, paddle boarding, meditation, kayak excursions and beach time as part of the retreat, so most days mix time on the trails with time on the lake.
Lac La Belle is a quiet inland lake close to the Lake Superior shore. Calm water on summer mornings makes it a good place to try paddle boarding for the first time, and the kayak trips are a way to see the shoreline and the woods from the water. On land there are 18 miles of trails on the property. You can join the guided hikes and rides or go out on your own when you have free time.
What sets this apart from a typical yoga retreat is the setting and the extras. Mount Bohemia is known as a ski mountain. In summer the same terrain becomes hiking and biking country, and the resort has its own Nordic spa. Unlimited spa access is included, which is unusual at this price. A lot of yoga weekends charge extra for spa time.
The page doesn't name the yoga teacher. Ask the resort who's leading the sessions, and what style they teach, when you call to register.
The Keweenaw is remote and that's a big part of its appeal. There's little light pollution, and the resort lists stargazing as one of its activities. Clear summer nights over the lake are a real highlight. Dinners aren't included, so plan on eating at the resort or nearby in the evenings.
Registration is by phone with the resort at 906-360-7240.
