That special place you’ve been searching for.
To make your next retreat remarkable, you need a unique and truly special place to host it: a sacred spot where people are inspired to slow down, connect, and be fully in the moment.
We’re glad you’ve found us.
Since 1981, the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga has been serving as precisely that one-of-a-kind place teachers and retreat leaders are searching for.
An inspired place that a variety of groups — from immersive yoga and meditation retreats and teacher trainings to wellness retreats — return to, year after year…to be surrounded by nature…nourished by good food…and supported by caring Centre staff while deep in study, practice, or play.
We hope you and your group will be next to join them.
“Thank you so much for all you did to make the 24th Annual Iyengar Yoga Retreat great again this year. Many say they will be back next year, if not before!”
~ Karyn Woodland, Iyengar Yoga Centre of Victoria
Group Venues and Rates

If you’re in need of a group venue during your retreat, choose from one of the following three options based on your budget and group size:
Program House
& Satsang Room
The Centre’s main heritage house features hardwood floors, stained glass windows and a wood burning stove.
The Garden House

Accommodations
When planning a retreat, it’s great to have options. You need to be able to accommodate your participants’ different sleeping preferences and their individual budgets.
The Salt Spring Centre of Yoga can accommodate 25 guests in a variety of charming single, double and triple rooms with shared bathrooms.
We also offer developed campsites in a quiet forest setting or in the sunny open meadows. All have access to hot showers and outhouses. During the warmer months, our campgrounds can accommodate 50+ people.
Rates change based on length of stay and availability. Please contact us for more details.
Meal Options
There’s nothing retreat goers appreciate quite so much as nutritious and delicious food served with love!
If there’s one thing our guests always comment on it’s the wonderful food. All our meals are high quality lacto-vegetarian, fresh and lovingly prepared by our talented kitchen team.
Choose from our standard menu with add-on options.
The Centre can also provide dairy-free, gluten free and vegan options upon request.
Our self-serve tea bar is available for all rental programs.
Sauna
Looking for a therapeutic place to kick your feet up after a long day of study and practice? Or that Nordic hot-cold experience?
Our wood-burning sauna accommodates 6 to 8 people comfortably, and there are cold showers right outside for the more adventurous.
You can add a 2-hour sauna session to your event for $150, plus taxes.
