As we fall back into fall and I reflect on a summer that seems so long ago, I just had to share my experience at Hyde Mountain Yoga & Wellness in Sicamous.
I attended my first ever yoga retreat and had an amazing time, connecting with a lovely group of ladies from across Canada, in fabulous surroundings, with daily yoga classes overlooking Mara Lake and a host of other activities including paddleboarding / kayaking, wine tasting, foraging, Tarot card reading, meditation, nutrition and walks.
The food was fantastic too.
Moving your body in any way at all is good, but this was more than that.
It was a great opportunity for being alone, but not alone.
With relaxing activities, but also quiet time and thinking space.
A few days not having to think about work, or what's for dinner, or anything at all.
The value of the retreat was so much greater than the sum of its parts.
I brought home with me the importance of self care, time to think without distractions, to just be in the moment and to sometimes just breathe...
