The Yoga Retreat:
Our 12th annual yoga retreat is open to anyone wishing to deepen their practice and understanding of yoga. Participants will practice at their own individual level of experience, so beginners to advanced students are welcome.
There will be approximately 6 hours of classes daily. Morning yoga will be active and awakening, while afternoon classes will be more relaxing and gentle. Meditation sessions will be taught in the early morning and late afternoon. After lunch is time for hiking, swimming, boating, or resting. Therapeutic massage is available for an additional fee.
A wide range of yoga practice will be explored, including standing poses, twists, inversions, backbends, forward bends, restorative and therapeutic poses, breath awareness and yoga philosophy.
The Tipi Camp:
The Tipi Camp provides accommodations in beautiful tipis located in an idyllic setting on the shore of Kootenay Lake, BC. You are also welcome to bring your own tent. There is a light breakfast before morning yoga, and an abundant lunch and delicious dinner prepared using many locally grown fruits & vegetables. After dinner we’ll relax, have evening seminars, or gather around the campfire for music, dancing, or celebration.
