RETREAT DESCRIPTION
Join Tanya in a soul-filling retreat in nature that will inspire you with tools for creating peace, restoration and manifestation in your new year to come. Let the old year go and begin fresh with the tools you will learn during your retreat.
We’ll explore restorative yoga practices, meditation, chanting and manifestation techniques in this amazing getaway from the constant turn of life set in the majestic beauty of the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
With Tanya’s long-time background as an Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist, Thai Yoga Bodywork and Energy Work practitioner and educator, she will bring in all sorts of sweet, sacred rituals and mindful practices rooted in nourishing wisdom traditions that support our study, growth, and health.
We will practice yoga, meditation, chanting, and yoga nidra daily, with a mix of supporting workshops that will bring together creativity, coaching, group-work, and service. Come fill your cup, grow your light and shine!
BONUS! The wonderful kitchen at Wild Rice Retreat will pair up our meals daily with Ayurvedic Vital Essences for a well-rounded way to enjoy the teachings!
“What drew me to the Let it Go Retreat was the chance to live my best life at Wild Rice in the winter time, continue learning from all the wisdom Tanya so brilliantly imparts, and reflect on ways to reinvigorate my yoga practice and healing journey for the year ahead. I was not surprised to learn that wild rice founder Heidi Zimmer credits Tanya (and her teacher trainings at Devanadi) with helping her tap into the courage it took make her vision for the Midwest’s best retreat a reality—what a dynamic duo! It was an added bonus to spend time with other attendees some of whom I knew and others I did not but quickly made connections with because of our shared experiences as students of Devanadi, Tanya and as humans on healing journeys.”

“This was my first retreat with Tanya and my first time staying at Wild Rice. The whole experience was phenomenal. Tanya led such a thoughtful, comprehensive program. It met all of my expectations and more. I went feeling sluggish with holiday hangover and left looking forward to what’s to come in 2026. Magical and moving!”
