Embrace a slower pace amidst the wildness of summer this July at our Summer Yoga Retreat, an immersive escape into stillness, serenity, and mindful connection with nature.

Led by Wander Women guide and expert yoga instructor Michelle from Radiant Wellness Solutions, this retreat is designed to offer a sanctuary of deep rest and intentional movement. Slip into the comfort of your softest layers, and prepare to unwind with a weekend of gentle yoga and meditation, perfect for all levels. Michelle will guide us in reconnecting with our inner rhythms, all while honoring our bodies’ natural call for a slower, restorative pace. 

Nestled in a beautiful cabin at Whiterock Conservancy—a private nature preserve just an hour west of Des Moines—this retreat provides an idyllic backdrop for relaxation and rejuvenation. You’ll enjoy multiple restorative, accessible, and trauma-informed yoga sessions tailored to your comfort level, tranquil meditation practices, and a scenic, guided nature hike along Whiterock’s expansive 40+ mile trail system. Between activities, savor the opportunity to rest, reflect, and immerse yourself in a slower pace than the summer season usually allows. This is a weekend to indulge in yourself, replenish your spirit, and root yourself in peace.

No yoga experience or flexibility is required. For all yoga sessions, multiple pose variations will be available.

Adventure Rating: Beginner
This trip is rated beginner because of our modern accommodations and slow, intentional pace of the weekend. The hiking will be casual on well-maintained paths, with little elevation gain.
