This Isn’t Just a Retreat.
It’s a reset.

Life moves quickly.
Most of us rarely give ourselves permission to slow down long enough to reconnect with ourselves, our bodies and the people around us.

Nature + Nurture was created as an invitation to step away from the noise for a weekend and return feeling more grounded, rested and connected.

Hosted at beautiful Camp Manitowa, this intentionally small retreat experience blends movement, mindfulness, nature, creativity and community in a way that feels approachable, welcoming and deeply restorative.

No pressure.
No perfection.
Just space to breathe again.

Rooted in Community + Giving Back

At the heart of STL Yoga Collective is community.

We believe in creating spaces where:

  • People feel welcomed, not judged

  • Connection feels natural, not forced

  • Kindness is practiced, not just talked about

As part of this weekend, $50 of every ticket sold will go toward supporting our friends at Camp Indigo Point.

So while you’re taking time to reset and recharge, you’re also helping plant seeds of kindness in the St. Louis community and beyond.
