Yoga Weekend Getaway East Coast Nov Scotia

Do you struggle with stress management?

 

Do you struggle to find simple and delicious recipes to nourish your body? 

 

Do you want to start spring feeling energized & grounded?

 

Are you interested in combining yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, nutrition, & nature to achieve a sense of balance & health? 

 

Does your work & life focus on caring for the needs of others with no time to focus on your own?

 

Are you interested in developing daily self-care habits to sustain your physical & mental health in work & life?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then you’ll want to give yourself the gift of a healing weekend surrounded by a supportive community at our Transformative Self-Care: Integrating Mind & Body in Wellness Weekend Retreat!

Starting April 11th, 2019 we have a beautiful, fun-filled, weekend planned at the beautiful Windhorse Farms in Nova Scotia where you’ll be surrounded by nature and wildlife overlooking the gorgeous Wentzell’s Lake. You’ll be opening up your body, mind, and soul for renewal, growth, expansion, and relaxation.

Women Jumping at a Healthy Yoga Retreat in Saskatchewan

Picture Yourself on a Wellness Weekend Here:

What if you could learn skills grounded in nutrition, yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and physiology to help bring balance and health to your body?

Imagine if you could create daily habits rooted in self-care to keep you grounded during times of stress.

Picture a weekend surrounded by a supportive community and breathtaking lake and forest views, where you can finally relax and let go of stress.

How empowering would it be to learn about the stress-brain-gut connection and what you can do to nourish those neurons for lasting mental health?

Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to cook or clean the kitchen AT ALL, while being introduced to new flavours and meals?

How would you feel if you were able to wake up and be guided through invigorating, yet healing, yoga postures & breathing practices designed to strengthen the body and nourish the nervous system?

How empowering would it be to have simple, delicious, and nourishing recipes to prepare for you and your family and the skills the do it?

What if you could be guided to deep sleep with the help of a powerful yoga nidra practice?

Join your fellow Self-Care Warriors and give yourself permission to let go, relax, and take care of your needs for a weekend. Your body, soul, and spirit will thank you!

Check out the schedule below for complete details. Treat yourself to the gift of total health and happiness by joining us April 11th, 2019! If you register before January 14th, 2019 you can join my New Year Reset Yourself Nutrition Challenge for FREE as a thank you!

Weekend Retreat Testimonials

Caitlin…, along with all the amazing women who attended this retreat truly changed my life forever. There are no words to describe the value that came out of this weekend. If you are looking for that “nudge” (as Jenn would say) to move you in the direction you so badly want to go but perhaps fear or uncertainty are holding you back, I encourage you to get in on their next retreat! Your future self will thank you for it! Kara McIvor

Reiki Practitioner

If any ladies I know get the opportunity to attend one of Cait’s retreats you will not be disappointed! Its hard to put in words how amazing the experience was! Jessica Gallant

Holistic Nutritionist

Yoga Teacher, Mindful Escape Yoga & Wellness

This past weekend was the most inspiring, powerful, soul fulfilling time of my life. I experienced and saw strong and beautiful connections come to life, and this one between these awesome women was no exception! Michelle and Kirsten didn’t, for some reason, get to say goodbye to each other……so we flagged Kirsten down on the highway so they could have that last one soul connection. What I saw was so amazing (so I had to share😊)….and that’s what life is all about Thank you to everyone for sharing your heart. Just wow!  Kimberley Marshall
