This Teen Sleep-Away Wellness Retreat in New Hampshire is more than just a getaway — it’s an investment in your teen’s well-being. It is designed to help teens breathe, grow and discover their inner strength. Through yoga, mindfulness, and guided adventures, they’ll grow in confidence and resilience while forming genuine connections and lasting friendships.

 

This isn’t a traditional sleep-away camp, it is a screen-free summer experience that nurtures both body and mind, creating space for calm, balance, and the kind of growth that stays with them long after the retreat ends.

​

Created for thoughtful, sensitive teens who need a break from constant pressure. The yoga-based retreat supports teens experiencing anxiety, stress, and performance burnout through mindfulness, movement, and connection.

​​

Over the seven days, your teen will enjoy:

 

  • Age appropriate yoga and guided meditations every single day

  • Journaling, breathing, intentional quiet time

  • Outdoor adventures designed to push comfort zones, grow confidence and deepen connections (and just be fun!). Week 1 includes horseback riding & a guided kayak expedition. Week 2 includes a Lost River Gorge & Cave Bouldering, and a mountain coaster.

  • Lots of fun, connection and laughter 

​​​​

With only 8 spots available, teens will form close connections, build confidence, and create memories that last a lifetime.

PAST RETREAT EXPERIENCES WITH LOUISE  

 

RESTED
WOMEN'S RETREAT

2026

In October,, a lovely group of women came together for my RESTED Women's Retreat in a gorgeous house beside a river in New Hampshire, surrounded by beautiful fall colors.

 

We spent our days enjoying gentle yoga, meditation, the hot tub and sauna, delicious wholesome food, and plenty of time to just relax without having to be anywhere or do anything.

​

But as always, some of the most wonderful moments were the ones in between. The long conversations around the table, the laughter, the tears, the sharing of stories and experiences, and the connections that happen when women have the time and space to really be themselves.

 

We all arrived carrying different things, but there was so much comfort in simply being together, slowing down, and looking after only ourselves for a change.

TEEN YOGA RETREAT
2026

​​

The Teen Yoga Retreat brought together 8 amazing girls for a week full of courage, connection, and camaraderie. They cooked for each another, tackled chores as a team, cheered each other on while zip-lining, and bonded while sharing rooms.

​

This summer, six wonderful teens came together for a week of adventure, friendship, yoga, and mindfulness in the Berkshires. We packed so much into our days, from white water rafting and zip lining to SUP yoga, swimming, and lazy afternoons by the lake.

​

But some of my favourite moments were the quieter ones. Cooking meals together, learning to take responsibility for themselves and each other, chatting around the fire, laughing over dinner, and watching friendships grow throughout the week. Yoga and mindfulness were woven into our days, giving the teens a chance to slow down, check in with themselves, and find a little balance amongst all the excitement.

​

There's something really special about bringing a small group of teens together, away from their phones and everyday routines, and watching them build their own little community. By the end of the week, they'd shared adventures, tried new things, supported one another, and made some lovely friendships. It's always one of my favourite weeks of the year! ❤️

TEEN YOGA RETREAT
2025

This summer, 8 teenage girls gathered in a gorgeous retreat house in the mountains of Maine for an unforgettable totally screen-free week. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, forests & waterfalls, they discovered that it actually feels good to disconnect from their phones and slow down. They broke the habit of constantly being drawn to their phones, and in the process made new friends, connected with nature and with each other.

 

Each day brought a new adventure - trying yoga while balancing on a paddle board, giggling through goat yoga and hoping they didn’t get pooped on (!) and feeling weightless with aerial yoga.

 

Evenings were filled with hot tub laughter, bonding, karaoke, cookie decorating and being wowed by the meteor shower under the clear Maine sky.

 

This retreat was about more than yoga; it was about courage, connection, and creating memories that will last long after the mats were rolled up.

​

Highlights of the Retreat:

  • Goat Yoga

  • Aerial Yoga

  • Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga

  • Forest Yoga

  • Hiking to Waterfalls 

  • Cliff Jumping into Water

TEEN YOGA RETREAT
2024

​

The Teen Yoga Retreat brought together 8 amazing girls for a week full of courage, connection, and camaraderie. They cooked for each another, tackled chores as a team, cheered each other on while zip-lining, and bonded while sharing rooms.

 

Every day brought new adventures...whether it was collecting eggs from the local chickens, practicing yoga under the trees, or laughing until it hurt in the hot tub. The big highlights of the week included soaring through the treetops on the zip line, testing our limits on the ropes course, learning how to build fires, and playing rowdy eight-person Uno games. We were all pushed to our limits in different ways, and we all grew so much because of it.

 

Vermont is simply stunning, and was the perfect backdrop for this retreat. It was more than just a getaway, this retreat was was rooted in nature, mindfulness, and play. It was a beautiful reminder of how powerful it is when teen girls feel safe, seen, and supported.

MIND BODY SOLDIER WOMEN'S RETREAT
2019

This retreat was the perfect space for so many women to pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves.

 

10 tired moms took 4 soul-nourishing days to themselves at this glorious retreat house, waking up to the sound of waves every morning. 

​

The retreat offered yoga classes designed for all levels, group meditation, and alignment workshops. 

 

Intentional relaxation was *built in* to this retreat, because as busy moms, we are just way too over-scheduled. This retreat was for any woman ready to rest, reflect, and rise.

 

It was an honor to co-lead this Women's retreat in which women were invited to recharge their mind, body, and soul—with sand between their toes and support all around them.

TESTIMONIALS 

Andrea, mom to Lucy, 14
Teen Retreat, 2025

We’re so grateful to Louise for offering our teen such a unique

opportunity to step out of her comfort zone and connect with nature, build friendships, and grow her confidence. This is not your average

summer camp experience! Louise has designed such a special yoga and

mindfulness retreat for teens. She selects beautiful accommodations,

plans daily epic adventures, sparks creativity with art projects, and

builds independence and mindfulness through daily yoga practice. Our

daughter came home feeling well-rested and happy. She is already

looking forward to next year’s retreat.

Shauna, mom to Sadie, 14
Teen Retreat, 2025

Louise puts so much care, intentionality, and love into these retreats. She organizes every day around a theme and plans each activity specifically so our teens have a positive and memorable experience. It's amazing to see them learn about self-compassion and bravery alongside all the fun they're having. I'm grateful to Louise for the meaningful mentoring she's given to my daughter and cannot recommend her classes and retreats highly enough.

Amara, 14

“I don’t want to go back to real life where everyone’s on their phones again, feeling like I need to be attached to my phone again and having to reply to messages. At home, I pick up my phone without even thinking, and then I’m stuck in it because I can’t figure out what else to do. Part of me wishes someone would just take it away, but I know I’d feel left out too. This week felt so different — doing the coloring, the bracelets, just like we used to. Being with friends without our phones was so nice. Being outside so much more, laughing, playing games, reading, all without the distraction of the phone . I want more of that. I also loved doing yoga in so many different ways—SUP yoga on the lake, aerial yoga in the studio, even goat yoga.”

Shauna, mom to Sadie, 13
Teen Retreat, 2024

We could not have asked for a better retreat experience for our daughter. Louise puts so much care, intentionality, and integrity into her programming. Every day, the girls had opportunities to connect with themselves and to each other while still having a lot of fun. We appreciated the level of communication and the ability to follow along on the adventures in the shared photo album. I am amazed at the diversity of experiences our daughter was able to have and am so thankful she has Louise in her life.

Teen Retreat, 2024

This retreat was life-changing for my daughter. She came home more confident, grounded, and glowing with happiness. It was her first time away from home, and she felt instantly welcomed and supported. She made incredible friendships, challenged herself in new ways, and hasn’t stopped talking about the zip-lining and yoga under the trees! I’m so grateful she had this experience to unplug, reconnect, and just be herself.”

“I didn’t know what to expect, but this retreat ended up being one of the best weeks of my life. I loved spending the week with my friends, and making new ones. I really loved pushing myself on the zip lining, even though I was terrified at first, I felt so proud after. 

 

We spent time in the hot tub under the stars, went to a drive-in movie, and just got to be together without our phones. I know I’ll keep these new friends, and I hope I keep some of these new phone habits."
