SAVE THE DATE:
Fall Equinox Yoga Retreat at
Mount Washington Alpine Resort
Vancouver Island Mountain Centre | Paradise Meadows
Sunday September 20 – SAturday September 26, 2026
Join us this September at the edge of Strathcona Park, nestled in the alpine beauty of Paradise Meadows. Our retreat home is the Vancouver Island Mountain Centre—a peaceful, light-filled studio at Mount Washington Alpine Resort, surrounded by forest, open sky, and expansive mountain views.
This retreat is open to everyone. You do not need to be a yoga teacher or have any special training to attend. Whether you’re a dedicated practitioner, returning to your mat, or simply craving space to slow down and reconnect, you are warmly welcome here.
Together, we’ll step away from the noise of daily life and immerse ourselves in yoga—on and off the mat. Each day will be grounded in the eight limbs of yoga, with thoughtfully guided practices, time in nature, and spacious moments for rest, reflection, and renewal.
For yoga teachers, this retreat also offers the opportunity to earn 30 hours of Yoga Alliance Continuing Education (YACEP). All sessions are designed to be accessible and meaningful for all participants, with the continuing education hours available as an optional addition for those who wish to receive them.
Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, inspired, and deeply supported.
