As you stroll into our yoga studio in the morning you’ll notice the sun starting to shine through the floor-to-ceiling windows, treating you to postcard views of the mountains and Kootenay Lake. At our yoga and hiking retreat, we begin each day with Hatha yoga, using gentle poses and deep breathing to awaken the mind and prepare the body for a day of activity.
While with us at the Mountain Trek program you’ll begin each day with a calming and gentle yoga session for one hour. You’ll flow through a combination of restorative, meditative and active poses, specifically designed to support the program and prepare you for an active day on the trails and in the gym. The yoga instructor gently guides you and makes sure you enjoy maximum benefit from each pose.
