2019 Yoga Retreats and A Surprise Announcement
2018 was filled with a lot of beauty, unforgettable memories, change, challenges, growth, and transformation. We are so grateful for our growing “omie” community. Thank you. You have enriched our lives for the better and we are so thrilled to be on this journey with you: all on different paths, yet lifting each other up along the way.
We couldn’t be more grateful for the memories that have already been created in 2019. Check out the recap of our February Yoga Retreat at Deep Portage and our March Yoga Retreat at Audubon Center of the Northwoods.
Haven’t been to a Boreal Bliss Yoga Retreat? We hope to meet you! We love welcoming new yogis into the family. Whether you are new to yoga, or a seasoned practitioner, we know you’ll find what you are seeking.
Here is a recent review from retreat attendee, Nora Woodworth:
“I just had the pleasure of attending my 3rd Boreal Bliss Yoga retreat, each different, but all very rejuvenating, and very much needed. Everyone needs to disconnect and put their energy into their own self care now and then. I find that I get more and more out of each retreat I go to. These ladies complement each other perfectly and you don't want to miss it. Get ready to meet the family you didn't know you had. ❤”
A few things have changed…
Here’s an update on upcoming yoga retreats in 2019!
