The Annual Rest and Renew
Winter Retreat
January 15-18, 2026
Registration opens in July!
Thursday - Sunday
Please join us for the annual Winter R&R Yoga Retreat at Barothy Lodge in Northern Michigan! Barothy is located in Walhalla, 15 minutes east of Ludington, in the beautiful, pristine woods surrounding the Pere Marquette River. This post-holiday restful retreat has been a long-standing tradition. I'm delighted to be offering it at this sweet, secluded location again.
This 3 night/4 day weekend includes daily doses of yoga including Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra, all deeply relaxing and restful forms of practice. We will enjoy healthy and heart-warming food from a talented local chef, friendship and conversation by the fire, warm soaks in the hot tubs, massages, reiki and peaceful, quiet nature hikes. You will feel refreshed and renewed. I look forward to seeing you!
