Mountains, Maple Syrup, and Mayhem!

3 day or 5 day retreat, July 4 - 6 or July 3 - 7

This year I’m celebrating Independence Day with my wonderful friends in our friendly neighbor to the north, Canada! I’ve been teaching workshops in northern Canada for a few years now and it’s high time my NYC shala and extended family meet their Canadian fellows. Mel - fearless leader and all around great person - of Edmonton Ashtanga will be co-teaching this retreat at the Bighorn Meadows Resort. You can expect morning Mysore Style practice, daily hikes in the gorgeous surroundings, evening classes (probably a fair amount of Yin), laughs, new friends, and lasting memories. Breakfast and dinner will be provided daily. You can pack your lunch for a day out on a hiking trail or fire up the grill on your suite’s patio.

Two options for this retreat - 3 or 5 days. The shorter stay is geared towards our local Canadian friends who don’t celebrate the United States’ Independence from the British Crown. I encourage My Fellow Americans to join for the full 5 day adventure!

Your lodging is in the well appointed Bighorn Meadows Resort. We have 2 and 3 bedroom suites reserved. Each suite has a common area, kitchenette, bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and a patio or balcony with grill. There’s a heated pool, hot tub, sun deck (16 1/2 hour days!), and golf, if that’s your thing.

Bighorn Meadows Resort is located in Radium Hot Springs at the southwestern entrance to Kootenay National Park. Kootenay sits in the southeastern corner of British Columbia and protects 543 square miles of incredible Rocky Mountain wilderness. The park is centered around the Banff-Windermere Highway which stretches from Radium Hot Springs, BC to Castle Junction, AB. Moose, elk, bighorn sheep, grizzly and black bears, wolves, and cougars are just some of the animal species that call the area home. Spend your day hiking to an alpine lake, lounging in the hot springs, picnicking in a wildflower meadow, or taking in sweeping views of a glacier.
