A weekend full of yoga asana and yoga nidra practices, great people, gorgeous surroundings, yummy food, and cozy hospitality.

Yoga Nidra, sometimes called Yogic sleep, is like a beautiful long form guided meditation. But with specific components to help the mind, body, and energy settle into the perfect alignment for you to create something truly amazing for yourself.

The ARC Retreat center is just 45 minutes drive from the Northern suburbs and features a homey feel with plenty of space for everyone, 90 acres of pristine wetlands and woodlands featuring majestic white pine forest, a meditation labyrinth, and trails for walking.

The delicious food is cooked fresh on site, often includes organic and local products, and they do a great job accommodating dietary needs. All meals, from Dinner on Friday to Breakfast on Sunday, are included, and lunch Sunday is an option, too.

There are a few rooms for 2 people to share, and many rooms for 1 person. Buddy up or have your own space.

There will be time to explore outside, as well.
