Discover Cabin Culture

SO MANY THINGS! Two moments that stood out were arriving on Friday and Vin/Yin. It was super relaxing to end our travels with a drink at Lake Ann Brewing, then come to soak in the hot tub and settle into the coziest cabin ever. Ahhh.

The Vin/Yin was a fun routine and I liked the contrast of sweating while watching snow fall outside. The lavender eye pillow savasana was magical.

The sound baths were a new experience for me and SO COOL!

Meet Josh Harper / Yoga Teacher, Sauna Host, and Sound Journey Jammer

Josh Harper is a yoga instructor who guides others through holistic wellness practices, creating spaces of renewal, balance, and inner connection. Trained in yin yoga, sound healing, meditation, and breathwork, he blends mindful movement with restorative practices that nourish both body and spirit.

Josh’s passion extends beyond the mat into the transformative realms of sauna, cold plunge, contrast therapy, and sound. Through his mobile sauna business and immersive sound journeys, he invites others to explore the harmony of heat and cold, stillness and vibration, ancient practices that awaken resilience and restore vitality.

Grounded, heart-centered, and deeply intentional, Josh weaves together yoga, breath, nature, and ritual to guide others back to the peace already within. His vision is simple: to help people reconnect with themselves and emerge refreshed, balanced, and whole.

Meet Josh Hartman / Teacher, Photographer & Hand Pan Jammer

Josh’s yoga journey began on the road, living out of a tiny camper and visiting studios across the country. Drawn to slower, grounding practices like yin, gentle, and hot yoga, he discovered how a few minutes of movement and meditation each morning could completely shift his life. Yoga helped him cultivate mobility, strength, confidence, and a deep sense of inner steadiness.

Inspired to share these transformative benefits with others, Josh earned his RYT-200 certification in Santa Cruz, California. After settling in Traverse City, he continued his education and completed his 500-hour training through the Yen 300-Hour Inspired Life program. Today, he loves guiding students through practices that blend stillness, mindfulness, and embodied exploration.
Beyond the mat, Josh is passionate about sound healing—creating meditative soundscapes with the handpan, bowls, drum, and nature-inspired rhythms. He’s also an avid cold plunger, finding clarity, resilience, and community in the daily ritual of connecting with cold water.

When he’s not teaching, you’ll find Josh unicycling around town, photographing the dunes, or rock climbing—always exploring, always learning, always moving with intention.
