FRILUFTSLIV
JANUARY 9-12, 2025
CAMP DU NORD | ELY, MN
This retreat is ideal for the winter lover! If you love yoga and meditation surrounded by snowy, remote, northwoods…. if you love to cross country ski, snowshoe, sauna + ice hole cold plunge, sled, enjoy an outdoor winter campfire under the stars, walking outside in a wintry wonderland - this haven on the edge of the Boundary Waters is for you!
If you enjoy self-led cross country skiing and snowshoeing, this campus is unreal! Being able to xc ski from yoga, to your cabin, to a campfire, and/or to the sauna is truly a treat!
This is a smaller group experience for yoga and meditation classes and workshops. Around 30 participants in total.
Friluftsliv is a way of life - read more about it and this retreat with the “learn more” button below!
If you are hoping for an instructional/group-led experience for cross country skiing/snowshoeing - our other retreats in January and February at Deep Portage in Hackensack, MN are the better option! Keep scrolling for more info on that.
RADICAL EVERYTHING
JANUARY 31- FEBRUARY 2, 2025
DEEP PORTAGE | HACKENSACK, MN
If you are looking for play and laughter, a little bit of silly “rad” dress-up time, celebrating yoga and the beauty of winter - this retreat is for you! We had so much fun with an impromptu radical winter snow gear outdoor fashion show on the snowy “catwalk” and we can’t wait to do it again.
With so many indoor and outdoor options at this retreat - you can’t go wrong! Deep Portage is one large building, so you actually can cozy in and not leave to go outside at all to get to your room, dining, and yoga. This makes for a cozy overall feel!
There is a group-led cross country ski instructional time during this retreat. If you are seeking some support for winter activities - this retreat might be helpful!
Deep Portage also features an indoor rock climbing wall! More noteworthy favorites of this retreat are: the giant fireplace in the yoga space, the sunrise tower hike above the treeline, and the wood-fire mobile sauna!
This retreat is a larger group setting - around 55 retreaters, with breakout session and smaller workshop choice options.
REST
FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 2, 2025
DEEP PORTAGE | HACKENSACK, MN
All of our retreats are very much focused on getting your own personal needs met. We always have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to classes, workshops, and activities!
You might be surprised to find that while we will incorporate traditionally “restful” elements, we will also incorporate high-energy classes, workshops, and activities. Why? Because sometimes you really need to exert energy in order to actually achieve a state of rest!
What gets you to a truly restful state is all dependent on your personal make-up, needs, habits, and characteristics. You do you! Pick and choose the elements of the retreat that will help you feel rested.
We will have restorative yoga, sounds bowls, and yoga nidra sessions. We will also offer invigorating yoga options + outdoor adventure.

Whether you are new to the crew, or returning - welcome! We are thrilled to enjoy yoga in our most ideal setting this winter with you.
A commonly asked question is whether or not we get solo participants. The answer is YES, ALWAYS! We have a robust number of solo yogis at every retreat. If you purchase a group room, we always room solo retreaters together. The gift of a solo retreat is that you can completely focus on yourself and your wants and needs! It’s truly magical.
