Boreal Bliss Yoga Retreat
An Up North Yoga Getaway
When was the last time you did something just for you? Boreal Bliss is a women-owned business rooted in the practice of living more intentionally, and we are so excited to partner with them for this restorative yoga retreat. With immersive outdoor experiences and delicious chef-prepared cuisine, we provide everything you need to slow down and focus on what matters: you! Nestled in the scenic Northwoods, along the serene waters of Sugar Lake, this weekend-long retreat nourishes mind, body, and soul. Blending yoga workshops, wilderness activities, and unhurried time, you may just find your people among the community of women who come here for the same reason you did.

Deep Woods, Deeper Breaths
Your weekend of bliss begins the moment you arrive. With the stillness of the Northwoods as your backdrop, our yoga workshops focus on breath, balance, and connection, allowing you to sink into restorative poses beneath a canopy of pines. Enjoy unhurried hikes through boreal forests, time out on the water, and long evenings around the table sharing nutritious scratch-made meals. With a full roster of wellness activities to choose from, you decide your experience.

Guided and group activities may even be available for early-arrival participants! Whatever activities you choose, The Leadership Lodge makes it easy to relax and feel at home. A detailed itinerary will be sent 4-6 weeks prior to the retreat.
