I had an amazing opportunity to attend and photograph a yoga retreat right on Lake Michigan! It was hosted at the Sleeping Bear Inn in the historic town Glen Haven, Michigan… just outside of Glen Arbor, Michigan. The bed and breakfast was such a treat! Jeff and Maggie did an amazing job keeping us warm with tea all hours of the day and night and kept us well fed with amazing meals. The work that they did, along with all of the help that they got with so many volunteers is absolutely amazing!! I highly recommend a visit if you can make it up there. The yoga retreat was hosted by Amy Hubbell, sole instructor and founder of Yoga on the Beach in Northern Michigan. She was able to hold 2 yoga classes on the beach even though the weather did not exactly cooperate. We went on a wonderful hike through the dunes at Sleeping Bear Point and got to see an amazing 360 degree view of the lake from way up high! It was exhilarating! Amy included some Ayurveda workshops were able to make some of our own specially formulated spice and oil blends to take home. The weekend was full of beauty, knowledge, connection, relaxation, and laughter. This is an annual Fall retreat and I can’t wait to go back next year! Check it out if you desire time and space to reset your mind and body.
