NOW ANNOUNCING: Traverse City Retreat! 🍁 The perfect time to witness the Northern falls colors! Autumn invites us to pause, reflect, and align with the changing pace of the world around us. Join us for Autumn Unfolding, an intentional weekend retreat designed to help you slow down, reconnect to your body, your breath, and the seasonal rhythms that support your wellbeing.

Set on 11 wooded acres with 850 feet of sandy waterfront, Lakemore is a thoughtfully designed sanctuary with its own luxury unique aesthetic and a shared deep respect for the land it inhabits. Located very close to The Brown Bridge Quiet Area which offers miles of hiking trails, and 15 minutes from Traverse City. It is surrounded by nature and thoughtfully designed to provide a cozy and inspiring space for rest and reflection.

Rooted in the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, the Fall season corresponds with the Lungs 🫁 and Large Intestine—the organs of breath, release, and clarity. Throughout the retreat, we’ll explore this theme through:

-DAILY YOGA + MEDITATION focused on the energetic qualities of Autumn

-PRACTICAL PRANAYAMA (breathwork) designed to support lung health and emotional regulation

-SEASONAL MEALS by Traverse City chef, curated to nourish and support your body’s natural transition into cooler weather

-GUIDED BIKE RIDE through the vibrant, autumn-colored streets of Traverse City

-SPACE FOR EXPLORATION — wander local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques — or rest in the 20 person lakeside hot tub

So cool check it out

After two decades of nurturing young writers from a whimsical robot shop in Ann Arbor, the nonprofit 826michigan is relocating its headquarters to Ypsilanti in a move aimed at deepening impact and expanding access to literacy education.

Healing multiplies when it’s shared. We’ve seen time and again that showing up for your practice is powerful… but showing up with others becomes transformative.

While most of us like an impact that is instant, yoga is a practice that proves to be generous through time and commitment. There’s a reason it’s been around for thousands of years — providing a lifeline.

If you’ve felt the impact of yoga and this space, we invite you to share it. Invite someone you care about to join you for class or a workshop. A friend. A neighbor. A loved one who’s been carrying a lot. Your invitation could be the lifeline that someone else needs.

Upcoming Gatherings
🌿 Yoga + Nature Immersion: Full Circle at Ford Lake w: Sarah this Saturday!
💫 Rooftop Yoga + Sound Healing next Thursday 7/24 at Ann Arbor
🌮 Yoga + Taco Tuesday 7/29 — plant based tacos after 5:30p class
💡 200hr Yoga + Meditation teacher training — early bird price ends soon! 2 partial scholarships left. Starts 9/6 Email 📧 info@zionwell.com

There’s something powerful about showing up. Not just for yourself—but for the people beside you. 🤝

This year, over 300 of us gathered in practice, in protest, and in care. We moved together to remind ourselves—and each other—that we belong, and that community can be a stabilizing force in a world that often isn’t.

Presence is more than participation. It’s a way we offer support, create space, and say: you’re not alone.

At Zion Well, we believe wellness should be accessible to everyone. Our Give Well Equity Program exists to remove financial barriers and provide scholarships for classes, training, and healing. If you or someone you know could benefit—you can apply. If you have the means—you can give.
➡️ zionwell.com/givewell

We’re deeply grateful for our teaching team who makes this work possible—and for every one of you who continues to show up. It takes immense courage to wander to your mat and be curious of what’s inside. We never take this for granted. 💞

Did you know we also offer:
• $10 classes every Friday at Ypsilanti Studio
• Donation-based yoga Sundays at 10a in Riverside Park, Ypsilanti — supporting

This isn’t just about one day or one event. This is ongoing work. And we’re honored to do it with you.

We offer a flexible hybrid schedule to meet you where you are. Virtual Tuesday nights 5:30 - 7:30 pm on Zoom. In person Saturdays from 12-4 pm. Self guided content that can be finished at your own pace.

Training begins September 6 and runs through December 8. (Weekends can be made up just let us know which ones!)

Early bird pricing is $2250 through August 1. Full price $2550.

Scholarships are available for BIPOC, LGBTQIA2+, and single parents. Payment plans available no interest. Webelieve this work should be accessible to all.

One past graduate shared:
“I had never planned to teach yoga or guide anything at all when I signed up for this training. After stepping into this process I gained a kind of confidence I never knew was inside of me. I’ve found the courage to teach from a place of compassion and it has been such an important part of my life and healing.”
– Zion Well YTT Graduate

You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be “ready.”
You just have to be willing to show up for yourself.

In times of uncertainty, we return to our mats—not just for ourselves, but for each other.
For peace. For freedom. For healing.

Yoga reminds us that we are not separate. What happens across the world touches our hearts here at home.
When one of us suffers, we all feel it. When one of us breathes deeply, we make space for a collective healing.

At Zion Well, we believe in a future built on unity, compassion, and shared humanity.
Let our practice be a prayer—for peace, for justice, for the freedom of all people, everywhere.
Let our community be a place where you feel held, grounded, and never alone.

We’re stronger together.
Let’s keep showing up—with love, with courage, and with hope. 🌍

Two chances to be in community today:
