Embrace the ultimate winter reset at our Winter 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 and setting intentions for the year ahead, 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 the soothing quiet of winter’s embrace. This is a weekend to indulge in yourself, replenish your spirit, and begin the year rooted in peace.
No yoga experience or flexibility is required. For all yoga sessions, multiple pose variations will be available.

“What a fantastic combination of activities offered on this weekend! The hike was wonderful and the yoga sessions were very enlightening. I also loved the fact that we were given some free time to do our own thing. Getting to know more outdoorsy women is such a treat! The reiki session I received was awesome as well. Highly recommend this weekend gathering!”
