Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat

Last Updated September 8, 2026

Song of the Morning is a non-profit retreat center and spiritual community nestled on 800 acres of pristine forest and the flowing Pigeon River in northern Michigan. Year-round, we welcome spiritual seekers from all paths and traditions to enjoy spiritual refreshment and relaxation. Since its beginnings in 1970, Song of the Morning has become a spiritual home for thousands who live near and far. We feel privileged to be stewards of this sacred place, to care for the land, to serve one another and those who visit, and to be committed to fulfilling the sacred mission of Yogacharya J. Oliver Black, who founded Song of the Morning at the behest of his guru, Paramahansa Yogananda, known as “The Father of Yoga in the West”.
