October 18-20, 2019
Join us for Pura Vida’s famous yoga and wine retreat to relax and reconnect! In this very special edition of the our popular Yoga & Wine Retreat we are stepping things up a notch by partnering with a neighbouring Muskoka Resort! This is a playful fun retreat getaway weekend or a rejuvenating personal holiday. The retreat will consist of all the same things you get at Pura Vida – yoga classes, meditations, lounging on the gorgeous resort grounds and of course discussing great wine and amazing food. However, you also get an upgrade to hotel or cottage accommodations (no camping here!), waterfront access, and full resort amenities.
All levels welcome – Beginners to Advanced. Men are welcome too! 😉
