Rise Up & Shine!
Cultivating Wellness through Positive Transformation
New for 2024:
By request, our annual 1 Day Summer Hygge Retreat
is 4 Day this year!
Pronounced 'hue-guh,' it's the Danish word encompassing all things wellness. Hygge is an atmoshpere; the feeling of contentment, coziness, a calming energy, relishing in life's simple pleasures through all things comfort, joyful and relaxed. It's about attitude, rather than things.
It's like trying to explain warmth...you just have to feel it.
Combining the wellness practices of yoga with hygge just makes sense.
We go above and beyond to create a nostalgic atmosphere most conducive to relaxation & healing, both individually & collectively, enjoying group connection & togetherness.
(Venue details below) Join us in practicing mindful presence, connection & fun workshops in the most gorgeous venues that offer the most scenic wonderland year round. We hope to help enhance a sense of joy & contentment within our selves, homes & lifestyles, noticing how the simplest things can make you feel, for ultimate joy and balanced wellness. Enjoy yoga, meditation, workshops, seasonal recreational activities, wonderful food, laughter & connection. All with a little indulgence & great swag.
Really great swag.
Sometimes you just need to get away and BE.
(and you don't have to fly across the world.)
For 6 years, our Summer Hygge Retreat has been 1 Day, a day to enjoy, relax & rejuvenate.
With so much love and gratitude for the retreat, it's by a few requests that this year be extended like the Winter Retreats! So we're making the most of it by crea
Sometimes you just need to get away and BE.
(and you don't have to fly across the world.)
For 6 years, our Summer Hygge Retreat has been 1 Day, a day to enjoy, relax & rejuvenate.
With so much love and gratitude for the retreat, it's by a few requests that this year be extended like the Winter Retreats! So we're making the most of it by creating a little road trip to a serene paradise, close enough yet far enough, as being out in nature in the fresh air for a few days is absolutely healing and incredibly hygge.
I hope you join us.
I'm so exited to meet & 'hygge' with you!
My retreats are all about taking time to relax & have FUN. Nothing heavy or deep on purpose,
as joy & laughter is my kind of healing. Connect with yourself & make new friends with like minded women as together we combine movement, breath work, different styles of meditations & fun creative workshops throughout the day!
Part of the purpose of these retreats is doing something that may take you out of your comfort zone, or at least something you may not be used to. We'll have a ball exploring the beauty of the Island Park wilderness on a guided horseback rinding tour, while experiencing the connection & healing of the majestic horses.
Along with cultivating her beautiful leather & textile bags, her ability to create beautiful, comfortable spaces is a gift, and so very "hygge."
This will be the second time she's taught a workshop for these retreats, and being in the cozy cabin she designed as she discusses the details makes it that much more exciting!
We'll be surrounded by lakes, streams and towering pines. Daily walks on your own or as a group is inevitable & floating in a local lake to beat the summer heat just adds to the fun.
Approx 60-75 min from West Yellowstone,
we may feel like taking a mini road trip for a little hike, but there's no pressure or need to leave the beauty of Island Park.
That's right, we'll be creating a beautiful & unique piece of jewelry with Taunya, the queen of layered jewelry style! Not only is this a cozy activity, but learning a new skill working with your hands is very hygge, and learning the healing properties of each piece creates a very personalized wellness experience.

'Utah Hygge Retreats' is a tribute to my Danish grandmother, among my German & English grandparents who instilled in me an appreciation for my heritage & cultural traditions. I created the kind of retreats I wanted to attend. No heavy therapeutics, rather having FUN & finding healing within the JOY! Combining the wellness lifestyle practices of yoga with those of hygge, has brought me great joy as I'm sure it will for you too, as we need to take time for the little things to refresh our souls and senses. Allowing you to
"Rise Up in Positive Transformation."
I look forward to our next retreat with YOU and becoming your friend!
with so much love, Elise

The UY&W logo of the phoenix represents "Rise Up in Positive Transformation," as the stripes represent the healing earth elements; earth, fire, air & water. At my retreats I often hear, "it just feels good here, such a positive energy. This is the best retreat I've ever attended!" You could say that's Hygge. Utah Hygge Retreats (& Utah Adventure Retreats) was created to amplify this feeling into gratifying time, creating the atmosphere of "feel to heal."
We love to utilize other professionals to collectively share with you, to help enhance your experience through creative classes & workshops.
Embrace the opportunity to resurface innate feelings of contentment & wellness within yourself, which we often yearn for in our busy distracted lives, while creating new memories.
We also laugh a lot. Laughter is healing.
Come breathe, learn, move, heal, relax & connect with you, me, and others.
XO, Elise
