Step away from the busyness of daily life and find peace at the Centre.
Our rejuvenating getaway retreat includes two nights accommodation, delicious organic vegetarian meals, a variety of yoga classes to suit all levels in the morning and afternoon, and a deeply-relaxing restorative yoga class in the late afternoon. Morning practices include gentle breathing exercises accompanied by guided meditation to harmonize body and mind.
Enhance your sense of well-being by opting for one of the many ayurveda and bodywork sessions available at our Wellness Centre.
Take time outdoors, hiking or exploring the island, or going to town and checking out shops, galleries and Salt Spring’s famous outdoor Saturday market. Enjoy the enriching evening activities and presentations, then relax in our wood-burning sauna. You could also choose to simply relax in the Centre gardens or library, and enjoy personal time in a serene setting.
All of our Yoga Getaway instructors are experienced and compassionate teachers, who completed their 200 hour training at the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga or Mount Madonna Center in California, both Yoga Alliance registered schools. Many of these teachers are also on our YTT faculty and have further expanded their skills and expertise through specialized trainings. Each teacher is unique in style and presentation, while upholding the common aim of classical yoga – uniting body, breath and mind. While actively teaching in their local communities, these dedicated yoga teachers are generously volunteering their time and energy in support of SSCY as well as the greater community itself. Our large pool of over 25 instructors allows us to vary instructors for each yoga getaway, bringing a richness and diversity that promise to inspire your yoga experience!
