UY&W Hygge Retreats | Winter & SUmmer

Rise Up & Shine! Cultivating Wellness through Positive Transformation

Winter 5 Day  | Summer 5 Day

Quick REGISTER

WINTER HYGGE 5 day | JAN 18-22, 2026 now open!

What is Hygge?

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. 


Winter '26: Timbermoose Lodge, Timberlakes UT

(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, creative & educational workshops, seasonal recreational activities, wonderful food, laughter & connection.  All with a little indulgence & great swag.  Really great swag.

Connection

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. 



Connection

ABOUT

Your Host/Founder - Elise Jones

Hello! It's nice to meet you!  

'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.  After years of attending many retreats, 

in 2017 I created the kind of retreats I wanted to attend. No heaviness or forced 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 our 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, and connect with us.

XO, Elise
