UY&W Hygge Retreats | Winter & SUmmer

---

Elise Jones | Yoga Therapist | UY&W

@ItsEliseJones | @UtahYogaAndWellness

Hello! 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 healing too, as you connect with yourself & make new friends.

 I'll be teaching simple yoga, breathing, different meditations & my exclusive wool felting Crafternoon workshop! 

I'll also be leading a discussion on emotional health, (specifically depression, PTSD/B) focusing on creating Joy within life's hard. 

Ice Castles

Originated here in Midway, you'll enjoy exploring the now world renowned Ice Castles with acres of picturesque spires, tunnels, slides & even warm fires with plenty of photo ops, 

hot chocolate & magical memories.

Learn from the women's hormone guru herself!

As a holistic nutritionist & Mixhers co-founder/formula developer, she's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to female specific heath issues. With her discussions always being informative & lighthearted, prepare to have all your questions answered!

Midway Ice Rink

Whether your nostalgia is Hallmark movies or Stars Hollow, you'll feel like you're there while enjoying skating & laughing together at this picturesque outdoor skating rink. 

(Besides, if you know Elise, how can we not incorporate skating at a UY&W retreat?)

Taunya Olsen | Honey & Ice 

That's right, we'll be creating a beautiful & unique piece of jewelry with Taunya, the queen of sparkling layered style! Not only is this a cozy activity, but working with your hands learning a new skill is very hygge, and understanding the healing properties of each piece creates a very personalized wellness experience. (and an extra addition to your swag!) 

Utah Crater at The Homestead

Practice therapeutic breathing techniques with Elise & the healing vibrations of sound bowls while floating in warm natural mineral waters of the ancient Crater at Homestead Resort.

Exclusive to UY&W, this is a retreat favorite!

Ready to step up your happy a notch? We have the BEST time with the fitness, podcast & happiness gurus, sisters Kass & Emily, as they lead you though a fun workout that will create all the good feels inside & out!

Elise Jones

 Empower yourself by embracing something uncomfortable. Learning how to remain calm in a stressful situation though the power of your own breath, is one of the strongest self-soothing tools you can obtain.  In the cold Provo River, learn to embrace this therapeutic meditation practice, great for anxiety, depression, immune system & so much more I promise you'll feel great & we end up laughing A LOT.

Heidi McKay | The Foot Zoning School

@HeidiMcKay

When it comes to Foot Zoning, it's Heidi. 

She will teach you how to connect the body, mind & soul through the feet to achieve balance & alignment. She loves sharing the  tools for understanding your body and techniques you can do on your own at home.

Stone Box Catering

With daily compliments on the delicious food,   you don't have to wonder. All homemade meals are specially prepared fresh in kitchen, served family style with plenty to spare; warm fresh breads, desserts & endless charcuterie throughout the day.  (Also mindful of GF options) 

 -And it wouldn't be 'hygge' without a little indulgence, so yes, there's always chocolate.

One of the most repeated compliments of these retreats, is the atmosphere created to make new friends, when sometimes it can be hard to put yourself out there. When women come together for the sole purpose to relax, have fun & learn something new, it's easy to make new connections & lifelong friends. 

Hygge/Wellness  & Joy comes from within, but connecting with others creates new friendships.

Together through movement, stillness, laughter, new experiences, reflection, connection, we become  'comfortably uncomfortable' as we

 'Rise Up in Positive Transformation.'

Floating the Provo

We have a ball laughing, connecting & enjoying the sunshine while floating the famously scenic Provo river in comfortable tubes. I mean...

Wasatch Mountain Area

Summer wouldn't be as Hygge without a hike in the most beautiful, scenic trails. Can you picture a simple yet breathtakingly scenic hike, leading you to a mountaintop lake, taking time on your to be present in nature? 

'Cause that's where we're going.
