I feel lighter and more grounded. — Anne D.
Step Away. Move Kindly. Let Something Shift.
A 6-day immersive retreat to help you move better, feel better, and reconnect with your peaceful Self—held on the shores of Gull Lake, Minnesota.
Step away from your usual rhythm.
Not by doing more—
but by doing a little less and paying closer attention.
No performance.
No pressure to keep up.
Just a steady, supportive environment to explore how your body moves—and what it might be ready to change.
This retreat is intentionally small and will fill. Reserve your spot with a $500 deposit.

A Different Kind of Retreat
This Avita Yoga retreat is not built around intensity or achievement.
We’re not trying to stretch further or push deeper.
Instead, we work more patiently—using position, time, and healing sensation to reach the joints and support the body from within.
It’s a quieter approach.
But often a more lasting one.
Over the course of the week, we’ll work through the body’s structural foundation:
- Feet and balance
- Knees and hips
- Shoulders and upper body
Not forced.
Just gradually reorganized.
What You May Begin to Notice
Over a few days, many people begin to experience:
- More ease in their joints
- Improved balance and coordination
- Less effort in everyday movement
- A clearer sense of how their body is working
The changes are often subtle at first.
But they tend to build.
What Past Participants Have Shared
While every experience is different, here’s what people often share after a retreat:
“I came hoping for clarity and left with something much deeper—a shift in how I think and feel. I feel lighter, more grounded, and more at ease in myself.”
— Anne D.
“Each class was thoughtfully designed, and having smaller breakout sessions made a big difference. I felt supported, challenged in the right ways, and more committed to my practice.”
— Wendi R.
“I was amazed at what my body could do—especially my feet and joints. I had very little discomfort and no real pain. It was a relaxing, caring, and truly supportive experience.”
— Karen G.
“This retreat felt like a reset. It was a chance to be quiet, present, and connect—with myself and with others.”
— Betsee G.
“My body moved more freely, and I left with a clearer sense of how to maintain that. It was also a meaningful way to connect with new people.”
— Deb S.
