Come away with me this summer for a weekend getaway to southwest Michigan. We will unwind from the city energy, connect to the surrounding nature vibes, practice yoga and eat delicious vegetarian food.
The house sits on Moon Acres, 14 acres of wooded trails, open fields and sky. The house has a bonfire pit, organic gardens, a large family style dining table and lots of space to relax and connect. In season, there are pear, apple and mulberry trees, black raspberries, a 1.5-acre garden that we cook from, herbs, chickens, ducks and honey bees.
The owner, Clare, is our fabulous host who will cook us nourishing, local and seasonal meals and will guide us through a hike in the dunes.
On the land are 2 puppies, 5 barn cats, 10 ducks, 8 chickens, and bee hives.
There are 4 bedrooms: 3 are doubles and 1 is a triple with shared bathrooms.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
On late Friday afternoon we will meet in Michigan for a sweet, flowing practice at 5pm, followed by our first delicious meal together. Feel free to arrive anytime after 3pm to settle in and explore the land.
Saturday, we will start off with an energizing yoga practice followed by a nourishing breakfast. The day really is yours to explore. An option for a guided hike, drive to Weko Beach (10 minutes), Silver Beach (20 minutes) to soak in the water of Lake Michigan, or explore the local town. We will gather up at Haymarket Tap Room for a tour and lunch (food and drinks included). As the day winds down, we will settle in for a more restorative yoga practice. Our final dinner followed by a bonfire with s’mores.
Sunday morning will be our final yoga practice in the oasis away from the city followed by a decadent brunch.

FYI: There are 2 dogs and one kitten within the house. The indoor animals are a part of Yoga House experience and are trained to be in service to people. The kitten does not go into the bedrooms and the house will be cleaned of any pet dander. The barn is a growing adventure and expecting new life to arrive all summer.
The house is in the woods and lives amongst Michigan’s wildlife. If you chose to hike the Dunes there is risk of ticks, bees and other bugs as well as poison ivy and sunburns. Long pants, shirts and socks for your hiking adventures is strongly recommended.
