Adventure Vacations

Madeline Island Yoga Retreats and Adventure Vacations offers a retreat experience designed to engage your adventuresome spirit.

This Retreat is the first women's all-inclusive retreat in Wisconsin designed to assist its clients with everything from basic yoga poses and core strength workouts to the whole mind body spirit connection. We break down and simplify the basic yoga poses to best serve the individuals need. In addition, we incorporate core strength workouts that will develop strength and access muscles best suited for the hiker and the kayaker.

Most women are too busy to go on a yearlong journey of self- discovery as Elizabeth Gilbert wrote about in her now famous book Eat, Pray, Love. And yet a well-orchestrated yoga retreat is a vacation-length sample of self-discovery; giving women the opportunity to renew their mind and body experience. Madeline Island, with its pristine landscape and the magnificent Lake Superior is the perfect complimentary backdrop for your yoga retreat.

Although both yoga and meditation will be a part of the curriculum, you don't need to have experience with either to participate. There will be options for both the beginner and those who are more experienced. Experienced teachers and guides will gently lead you throughout your stay.

The Apostle Islands on Lake Superior are considered a world-class sea kayaking destination. Whether you are an experienced paddler or new to the kayaking experience your kayaking guide trip is designed with your safety and enjoyment in mind. We will explore the amazing sea caves, hike the shores of the state park, and incorporate a yoga practice to balance and support the body, enhancing the ability to develop the technical skills of kayaking.

There will be opportunities to paddle past white sand beaches and explore the magnificent sea caves. You will hunt for agates and paddle through a calm lagoon surrounded by towering tamaracks and rosebrush covered islands. Your Yoga Adventure includes, weather permitting, two afternoons with an experienced Kayaking guide from Adventure Vacations and one afternoon hiking the beautiful shores of Madeline's State Park. You will enjoy a lovely packed lunch while enjoying the scenery National Geographic heralded as the top National park in the United States for its picturesque beauty.
