Wellness Escape to Lake Michigan: Holistic Yoga & Meditation Retreat

This is not a bootcamp or a performance-driven yoga class. Ema Stefanova, the lead teacher and an internationally certified yoga therapist, runs a small, personalized group (typically 2–12 people). Her teaching is grounded in the Satyananda tradition of Bihar, India—a research-based, holistic style that adapts to your body, health conditions, and stress levels. Each day includes a mix of yoga movement, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, and yoga nidra, all designed to be accessible to anyone, from total beginners to seasoned practitioners. The retreat intentionally keeps the group small so that Ema can tailor each session to what participants need, whether that's help managing chronic pain, anxiety, or just a deep and much-needed rest.
