Wellness Weekend Toolkit

By By Aryn Henning Nichols | Fall 2024 Inspire(d)

Get ready! Decorah’s second annual Wellness Weekend is scheduled for November 1-3, 2024! Find details at decorahareachamber.com/events

Last year, Decorah businesses launched this fun weekend into the world with a variety of activities – from a hot toddy cocktail hour to yoga and exercise classes to cool wellness grab bags and more. We love any reason to highlight taking care of ourselves and making time for things that bring us peace and better health, so we wanted to make sure this date is on your calendars!

To make the most of your Wellness Weekend in Decorah, we’ve put together a “Wellness Weekend Toolkit!” You can grab these goods around town, and then get ready to really lean into a relaxing weekend.

Can’t make it to Decorah? Get inspired to celebrate your own Wellness Weekend wherever you are (and whenever you want) with some of these tools and ideas!

Here’s to winding down this fall and spending some time on you.

Fuel Up

Grab a Reefuel Smoothie at Impact Coffee! Banana, spinach, and peanut butter are the main ingredients here, and it is delicious! Making one at home? Our current fave includes kale, vanilla yogurt, berries, and ice!

Relax

Set aside some time for a little qua sha or jade rolling – it’s great for relieving jaw tension or headaches along the brows. This set is from Wildcrafted Acupuncture and Herbs!

Spa Time!

Decorah’s Oneota Co-op has a great selection of bath salts and baths, plus some face masks!

We love the French clay mud mask in the bulk section but couldn’t resist this cute pink sheet mask! And the lavender foaming bath packet is our go-to!

Create the Good Vibes

Light a candle and set an intention for the weekend.

Put a new sticker on your water bottle.

Send a card to a loved one, letting them know you’re thinking of them.

(These goodies are all from Agora Arts in Decorah, IA.)

Power Up!

Sign up for a Yoga or Yoga Sculpt class at Driftless Yoga Center at driftlessyoga.org.
