4 Best Yoga and Wellness Retreats near Minneapolis for 2026

Updated: November 2026

Devil’s Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa

The Twin Cities sit within reach of lake houses, farm retreats and hermitages across Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Yoga and wellness retreats near Minneapolis include city studios with teacher training and quiet country properties.

Most involve a drive, so decide early what you want. A studio gives you daily classes without leaving town, a lake house within an hour suits a group, farm countryside suits yoga groups that want a base, and a hermitage suits anyone after solitude rather than a schedule.

Ask whether a property takes solo guests or only groups, since some are set up for one or the other.

  • Best for Twin Cities locals wanting classes or teacher training. The Yoga Center Retreat is a studio in St. Louis Park with daily drop-in classes, plus workshops on meditation, Ayurveda and philosophy. Teacher trainings run at 230 and 300 hours. Styles include vinyasa, hatha, yin, restorative, prenatal and adaptive yoga. It is a studio rather than a residential retreat, so stay elsewhere if you want a multi-day break.

  • Best for friends or small groups wanting a private lake house. Lake Osceola Retreat is a restored historic lake house on about 100 acres of woodland and waterfront in Osceola, Wisconsin, within an hour of the Twin Cities. It runs as a retreat centre and vacation rental, and group retreats and yoga sessions are offered. It works more like a rental house than a programmed wellness resort, so check what is included for teaching and meals before booking.

  • Big Raven Farm

    Best for yoga groups wanting a countryside base. Big Raven Farm is a 15-acre retreat centre in Spring Grove, Minnesota, in the Driftless region near the Wisconsin and Iowa borders. It has an event studio, a dining room and rooms for 14 or more guests, with a mix of private and shared bathrooms. It hosts yoga retreats alongside art and maker weekends. It is a few hours’ drive from Minneapolis and a hosted venue, not an all-in wellness programme.

  • Best for solo guests wanting silence, not classes. Pacem in Terris is a Christian hermitage retreat centre in Isanti, Minnesota, north of the Twin Cities. Individuals stay in a simple hermitage with no set schedule. No yoga or wellness programme is described. It suits quiet, self-directed time only, with none of the movement, teaching or group activity found at the other places here.

Conclusion

Start with the format. A studio, a rental house, a hosted farm and a hermitage make very different stays, and only some include a teacher, meals or a set programme. Big Raven Farm is a few hours’ drive from the city, while the others are much closer.

Before you pay, ask what is included, whether yoga is led or self-guided and how big the group is. Check the dates you want and the cancellation terms, and ask the venue directly if anything is unclear.
