Women's Autumn Yoga and Sound Healing Retreat at Lake of the Ozarks

The retreat starts on Thursday 12 November and ends Sunday 15 November 2026. Mornings are slow: yoga and meditation with Amanda or Holly, then a cooked breakfast. One afternoon is given over to a restorative sound bath. The rest of the time is yours — hike the Rocky Top Trail 12 minutes away, play the private 9-hole course, swim off the dock, or sit in the hot tub while the lake goes dark.

Amanda Montgomery has been teaching since 2013, has over 800 hours of training and more than 5,000 hours of teaching, and opened Mystic Meadows Yoga in Kirksville in 2021. Holly Findling took her 200-hour training with Amanda in 2022 and is a Water Release Therapy provider and Reiki practitioner. Tiffany Miller cooked professionally for seven years, including as sous chef in a French fusion restaurant, and now runs a regenerative farm near Kirksville; she cooks all eight meals.

The Lighthouse is the setting: a 7,000 sq ft house on the lake's edge with two master suites, four more bedrooms, five bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, a 77-inch cinema room, a games room with ping-pong, shuffleboard, darts and arcade games, and a top deck looking over the water. Outside there is a full outdoor kitchen and bar, a heated pool, a sunken hot tub, and a dock with a swim platform.

What separates this from a generic yoga weekend is the food and the house. You are eating meals cooked on site by a chef who grows much of the produce herself, in a house with a private golf course and a cinema room, on a lake in the Missouri Ozarks in autumn. The group is women only, and the pace is deliberately unhurried — the schedule is there if you want it, not to fill your day.

Osage Beach is central Missouri lake country. The Ozark Distillery and Brewery is a 4-minute drive, Jolly Mon Indoor Water Park 4 minutes, The Oaks Golf Club at Tan Tar A Resort 5 minutes, Mansfield State Forest Wildlife Area 5 minutes, Main Street Music Hall 7 minutes, and Gran Rally Karts 7 minutes.
