What should I know about island access and parking?
Belle Isle can be accessed by car, bike, and pedestrian paths.
If you plan to travel by car, please note that the island is now a state park run by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and a recreational pass is required. If you do not have a sticker as part of your annual auto registration, you can purchase a day pass at the park entrance. In addition, Michigan library card holders can obtain a free recreation pass. For more information, please visit Michigan Activity Pass.
Location details will be forwarded to all registered participants within 48 hours on the event (Welcome Kit).
What should I bring?
Participants will need to bring a yoga mat, water bottle, and any accessories that will help make their practice more comfortable (e.g. yoga block, strap, towel, etc.)
This is an indoor wellness experience. However, participants are encouraged to dress in comfortable, autumn layers based on the conditions. Weather permitting, guests will have the option to explore the surrounding grounds and island amenities before or after the retreat.
