Michigan Intensives
Located at Irene’s home in Manistee, Michigan.
The Location:
Irene’s home is an 80 acre haven nestled in the Manistee National forest. A place for quiet reflection surrounded by nature, there is plenty to do both on the property and nearby. Lake Michigan is 15 minutes away, as is a large grocery store and small regional airport (MBL).
Each time of year is beautiful and unique, it just depends on if you would prefer to bask in the sun or play in the snow!
The Home:
Most guests will stay in the 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom guest house and join Irene for meals in her home, which is attached through the garage. There is a fully stocked kitchen as well as laundry available for use during your stay.
About the Intensives:
Join Irene for a cozy training intensive, open to Irene’s students near and far as a way to train and spend time together. With a maximum of 7 students, you can expect classes fully catered to those that attend plus plenty of personal attention.
Each intensive includes twice daily practices every day other than arrival and departure day. Practices will range from 1-3 hours each and alternate between handstands and contortion/flexibility. Most days will include some type of supplemental strength training work, and active recovery will be sprinkled in as necessary.
Depending on the time of year a few additional excursions or activities might be included based on the weather and wants of the group! (For example: paddleboard river trips, beach trips, hikes/nature walks, bonfire, etc!)
