I LOVE this tradition. Personally, I’ve practiced these same journaling questions for over a decade. I’ve found that whether it’s your first year, or fifth, the process is the perfect way to reflect on the year and decide what you’d like to intentionally spend your energy on in the year ahea...

Just like January feels different from July, or a camping trip offers different benefits than a spa weekend, our retreats also have their own personality.

Before 2026 unfurls, let’s walk through ideas. Some are oldies but goodies, and some are brand-spankin-new!

Looking forward to an experience, savoring it afterward, and remembering the moments in between gives you multiple waves of joy.

Today! November & January retreats open for registration! I’m thrilled to be coordinating and teaching at both of these popular experiences.

November - a getaway for the day! These day retreats have grown in popularity and I can’t wait to be there in-person.

January - my favorite way to launch a new year! This retreat has grown so much in popularity that we’ve created two tracks: adventure or hygge. I can’t wait to play in the snow on the edge of the boundary waters again!

My Story

Hi there, my name is Bryana and I feel fortunate to call the Leech Lake area home. I teach weekly yoga classes and I am available by appointment for individual sessions. My style of teaching is one that embraces all-levels: beginner to experienced. I believe in a holistic approach: the mind and body are connected! I am trained in vinyasa-style yoga and I also teach gentle yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, myofascial release, and children’s yoga classes. I offer modifications and accessible cues in class.

Not sure about a group class just yet, but interested in what yoga, breathing, and meditation can do for you? I am deep into my studies in yoga therapy to become a C-IAYT (certified yoga therapist with International Assoc. of Yoga Therapy). We can schedule a private yoga therapy session to suit your needs and goals.

In addition to group classes and individual sessions, I also offer yoga and wellness retreats with my partners from Duluth, MN: Joella Miller and Amanda Imes. We provide opportunities to retreat into the wilderness of Minnesota: Journey North and Connect, Explore, Relax with us. Check us out at Boreal Bliss Yoga Retreats for more information: www.borealblissyogaretreats.com.
