A weekend reset on Maryland’s Eastern Shore: yoga, paddle & sound healing from a waterfront brick house.
Set on one of the Eastern Shore’s coveted waterfront parcels near St. Michaels, The Local Retreat centers a newly renovated eight-bedroom brick house where mornings begin with vinyasa and paddles skim glassy water and evenings close with sound baths and chef-prepared dinners. The program balances structured practices and optional free time so guests can range from restorative stillness to active exploration of nearby towns and the property’s pool, tennis court and shoreline.

What the weekend feels like
The four-day rhythm leans into morning movement and late-afternoon restorative work: arrive and settle the first evening for a slow-flow and welcome circle, spend the full days rotating between chef-prepared meals, guided yoga sessions, on-water exploration and free time, then close each night with sound baths and communal gatherings around bonfires or shared meals.
