Winter Restorative Yoga And Meditation Retreat

Friday, February 17th to Monday, February 20th, 2023


​This retreat is designed to help you to deeply relax, heal and re-energize, restoring and nourishing you on every level. Escape with us to the stunning Bloom Holistic Retreat Centre, perfectly situated on miles of quiet lakefront and amid hundreds of acres of private forested land just 20 minutes north of Kingston.

Throughout your stay, Leslie will gently and progressively guide you to a deep sense of calm through daily meditation classes, all-level yoga classes, workshops on Yoga Philosophy and Restorative Yoga, as well as her signature Restorative Yoga with Massage sessions.
Invariably the highlight of the retreat, Leslie’s Restorative Yoga with Massage class is the ultimate in relaxation. Enjoy soothing music, essential oils, and massage while you are draped in a cozy blanket and relaxing deeply in fully supported restorative yoga poses. This class will be done at separate times in small groups, ensuring maximum personal attention for everyone. And our RMT will be on-hand throughout the retreat for private massages, if you wish to pamper yourself even further.
Meanwhile, enjoy the best in luxurious accommodations, as well as sumptuous vegetarian meals that will help you feel energized and whole. All meals, accommodation, classes, props and workshops are included. No prior yoga experience is necessary, and all activities are optional, so that you can custom tailor this retreat to be the experience you need most right now for your healing and wellbeing.

Cross-country ski, hike or snowshoe the many kilometres of trails on the property, skate on the pond (ice-quality permitting), or sleep-in to catch up on your rest – this time is a gift to yourself.
