Dynamic Flow Spring Yoga Retreat

The Dynamic Flow Spring Yoga Retreat is a weekend yoga retreat in Walhalla, Michigan, built around energizing vinyasa, breathwork and time outdoors. It is open to all levels and suits anyone who wants a few days of movement, plant-based food and quiet in nature, whether you come alone or with a friend. It is led by Michigan-based yoga and meditation teacher Stephanie Lynn.

What to Expect

The weekend begins on a Friday afternoon and ends at midday on Sunday, so it is two nights in a small group setting. Mornings are given to dynamic vinyasa, and there are several yoga classes over the weekend. Breathwork and pranayama instruction sit alongside the asana, with sessions meant to energize rather than slow you down.

Between classes, the rhythm is unhurried: hiking, time outside, and the hot tubs for soaking afterward. Meals are part of the practice here. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are plant-based and described as cleansing, and fresh juices are served through the weekend.

Before You Go

All levels are welcome, and classes are taught in English. Included in your stay are the yoga classes, pranayama instruction, all meals and juices, access to the hiking and the hot tub facilities, and your accommodation. Because the food is plant-based throughout, plan on that for the whole weekend. Bring clothes for movement and for being outside, since much of the time is spent hiking and in nature.
