About this trip

Join yoga teachers Ali Brashler and Maggie Umberger for a long weekend full of dynamic movement and rejuvenating, joyful yoga practices that will leave you feeling centered, connected and calm. No prior yoga experience necessary, just an open mind and a playful spirit! 


Ali and Maggie invite you to join them in an exploration of all the ways in which movement can anchor you, invigorate you and restore your nervous system. We'll move through integrated mobility + yoga practices to start our day. We'll experience playful and creative vinyasa classes in the afternoon that will twist you, move you (and maybe get you upside down)!  And we'll end our evenings with time for connection to ourselves in restorative practices, and with each other over good food and conversation.


Ali and Maggie believe that the spirit of light-hearted movement and lots of PLAY can be medicine for the soul, and we'll be offering additional activities like paddle boarding and kayaking, sauna and cold plunging, hiking and relaxing.


So come and explore the shores and forests of Southwest Michigan at Ali’s new retreat center, The Pier Cove Grove. Located 15 minutes north of South Haven and 8 minutes south of Saugatuck you will find 7 acres of land on the Grove with 4 different structures. Stay in a brand new modern wood cabin, a French country beach cottage or a private A Frame cabin all set on a property equipped with an outdoor sauna, putting green and driving range, hot tub, indoor and outdoor wood burning fire place, 200 ft of private Lake Michigan Beach frontage, wooden trails, paddle boards, kayaks and so much more!


Space is limited for this jam-packed weekend retreat! Deposits a non refundable and payment plans are available. Email ali.brashler@gmail.com for more information on customizing a plan that works best for you to fund your dream yoga retreat! 


All prices include food, curated movement classes, lodging and experiences for the 4 day retreat (Limited alcohol will be provided - BYOB is encouraged). Excursions out will be a la cart and optional.

Reviews

This was our 3rd Women's Wellness Retreat and our first time at Pier Cove Grove. We (and our guests) were blown away by the beauty and design of the property which managed to be both luxurious, spacious, comfy and cozy. Each space was thoughtfully designed with attention paid to every detail so that you felt cared for and at ease. Ali was an incredible host, she was available and assisted us wherever we needed her throughout our stay. We absolutely can't wait to come back to Pier Cove Grove for our next retreat!! Thank you PCG! Annie & Beth Grounded Roots Wellbeing Retreats

We had an absolutely amazing time and experience. I have personally done many yoga retreats and this one by far exceeded all my expectations. The group of women were so empowering, the food was absolutely delicious, and the movement sessions were challenging and provided new insights about my own practice and mobility. Lastly, the accommodations were out of this world. I will be back and highly recommend a retreat with Ali and Maggie!!!! 😎
