Noorish Your Connection Retreat in Tofino 

NOORISH YOUR CONNECTION YOGA ADVENTURE RETREAT - JUNE 14-17, 2019 & JUNE 29-JULY 1, 2019

with Retreat Leaders Liv and Carly & Special Guest Catherine Bruwhiler

Location: Tofino, BC Canada

Realign with yourself. Connect with community. Be inspired by nature.

The word yoga means to yoke or create union - connection. We will spend this weekend in connection: With ourselves as we realign with our purpose and passion,with each-other and in deep connection with the wild and abundant Tofino coastline. We will be invigorated by the sea with surf lessons taught by Canadian Women's National Champion Catherine Bruwhiler. As a group we will explore Tofino's ancient cedar rainforests, paddle board in the bay, and enjoy the delicious abundance of food in the region. We will take time to work on ourselves, our mindset, dreams and goals. 

The practice.

Our yoga practice is a powerful tool to create connection, balance and harmony within our minds and bodies.  

Each morning we will practice Vinyasa Yoga. Alignment and flow will ignite our inner fire, strength and focus to prepare us for each day.

In the evening we will practice Yin, Restorative and Nidra Yoga. Our evening practice invites us to embrace softness, self care and relaxation. When we embody gentle stillness in our practice we cultivate our own sense of balance, equanimity and a deep state of wellbeing.  

Yoga practice will be led by retreat guest leader Carly.

Surf Lesson featuring Canadian Champion Catherine Bruwhiler

We are thrilled to feature Catherine Bruwhiler of Tofino Paddlesurf to teach our group surf lesson. Catherine is a legend as one of the first generation, and lone female, to explore the rugged Vancouver Island waves. She has been a Canadian National champion numerous times and currently travels with the Canadian Junior Surfing National Team as a coach. Catherine is also the owner and operator of Tofino Paddle Surf and is a member of the Canadian National SUP Surfing team. Her expertise and easy going nature will inspire confidence and fun in the water for surfers of ALL abilities, especially first-timers. Retreat leaders Carly and Liv will also be in the water providing support.
