This photo popped up and took me back to my Iceland retreat in 2022. It pulled me into a different time and place where I could feel the fresh, clean breeze coming off the fjord. The sweet smell of possibility!

Our Icelandic guide Andreas took us to magical Hrsey Island where we hiked, ate fresh fish with one of the local residents and most importantly, had time to just be.

Is there a picture that can immediately bring you back and flood you with emotions? (preferably the good ones!). Would love to hear about it.

I’ve been in a holding pattern in Toronto, yearning for big open spaces and exploring new landscapes with my yoga community.
I’m ready to come out of my cocoon and hope to fly with you soon!

Yoga + Hiking + Sunshine (in good company) is the best medicine.

Must make plans for this elixir for the darker months.

I’ve been hosting retreats for years and have paused to reflect on my ideal venue partner after a couple of bad experiences (not my partnership with the Château Fairmont in Lake Louise - they are great🍁).

The market is flooded with new venues, hosts and companies looking to ride the wellness wave. Some are great, some are not…I appreciate the patience of my retreat alum as I figure out some new beach experiences! 🏝️🙏

Since 2019, I’ve hosted eight amazing yoga groups at the beautiful in Lake Louise. 🍁
(With the help of .life.lover 🧡)

You can always trust that the right people come together at the right time 🙏💃

Guests come from all over the world, some with friends, family or partners and many taking a solo adventure. Ages have ranged from 20-65 and yoga experience has ranged from beginner to advanced.

We’ve practiced in cozy rooms close together, and in a massive ball room six metres apart (just for the 2020 covid year 😄).

We always host these special weeks in October and as is typical of the mountains, we’ve had +15C some weeks and -20C for others.

No matter the weather or who has come together, something magical happens ✨☀️ These mountain retreats are empowering, relaxing, restorative and inspirational.

There are still a few spots available for the October 27-31st Flow+Connect+Restore retreat. If the timing suits and the stars align, join us! Visit the link in the bio or message me for more details. 🙏

On our northern Iceland yoga retreat in August, we take a ferry to Hrisey Island for an incredible hike and time spent overlooking the fjords. It’s a once in a lifetime experience 💙

This special mountain retreat in the Canadian Rockies is sold out for this year 🍁

The beautiful is undergoing renovations to create a new, state of the art wellness centre (think warm and hot water plunges overlooking the lake!). They estimate it will open next summer. ☀️ I won’t have any winter retreats this year (due to construction) but hope to announce Fall 2024 dates in the next few months. 🇨🇦
