The Big Retreat

The Big Stretch Yoga Centre's next "Big Retreat" is currently being planned for you.

In the past, we have had camping and canoeing yoga retreats at Algonquin Park and Autumn and Winter retreats at the luxurious Chalet Claremont and its beautiful natural surroundings. These all-inclusive mini vacations for your body, mind and spirit included yoga, Nia, hiking, swimming, hot tubbing or just kicking up your heals and doing absolutely nothing. Delicious vegetarian meals are catered by K.C. & The Sunshine Pan or Blacksheep Catering. Breathe, stretch and relax.

Here's why our retreats are a great opportunity to reconnect with your self, recapture your spirit and rejuvenate:

"You have helped me see the parts of myself that I've been neglecting and for that I am forever grateful."

"The last yoga retreat was such a beautiful experience. Joanne Lowe is a fabulous teacher."
